Replica Spanish Galeon ready for visitors after delayed opening

Thursday, 3 July 2025 15:55

The replica Spanish Galeon in Douglas Bay is now in business, after tides prevented her from opening yesterday.

Historical tourist attraction Galeon Andalucia arrived in the capital city on Wednesday, July 2 and will be here until Monday, July 7.

Anyone who bought tickets for the first day is being advised not to purchase additional ones - as the originals will be valid for entry on any day.

The ship's opening hours for this weekend are being revised, and refunds are also available from shop@velacuadra.es
