The Agurtza is a magnificent example of the wooden fishing boats that used to operate on our coast. Built in 1968 at the Murelaga shipyard in Lekeitio, the Agurtza was used for surface fishing during the second half of the 20th century, both on the Cantabrian coast and in distant seas. Santurtzi acquired it when it was about to be scrapped, converting it into the Fishing Technique Interpretation Centre. A wooden shed was built around the Agurtza boat, reminiscent of the old riverside shipyards that once lined the Cantabrian coast up until a few decades ago. It is one of the last remaining wooden boats used for traditional fishing on our coasts and the only one open to visitors in Bizkaia.

The Agurtza Museum Boat is a historic wooden vessel located on the seafront promenade of Santurtzi, in a flat urban setting with easy pedestrian access; however, as it is a traditional vessel adapted for museum use, access to the interior and movement within its spaces involve stairs, hatches, narrow passageways and level changes inherent to a ship, making it inaccessible for people with reduced mobility (PRM). As a support measure, the museum provides audio narration systems for visitors with visual impairments. As accessibility conditions may vary depending on the type of visit and the areas open to the public, visitors are advised to contact the organisation in advance to obtain information on available resources and the specific conditions of the visit.
