Get on board the most adventurous sailing trip and discover the White Continent. It crosses Cape Horn and the Drake Passage. Navigate through one of the most emblematic places on earth with expert navigators with all the comforts.
Welcome aboard our most adventurous sailing trip, for those who dream of following in the footsteps of the great conquerors, crossing the Drake Passage and touring the Antarctic Peninsula.
You will enjoy sailing in one of the most emblematic places for any sailor. The Drake crossing is usually 4-5 days and then we will have 7-10 days to navigate between icebergs before facing the return.
Expert navigators with various crossings and expeditions to Antarctica together with the leader of the Expedition and a Biologist and Doctor of Natural Sciences with extensive experience on the White Continent will share all their knowledge with us.
We will use a 21 meter long expedition sailboat. It is a very stable and comfortable boat built in steel, made to navigate in arctic waters. The ship has many amenities and all the essential safety elements to navigate through ice. It has capacity for 12 passengers and 4 crew members in 9 cabins with a very wide deck.

The Drake Passage is considered by all sailing sailors as a point to have great respect. It is a compromise navigation where there are high possibilities of hard time. The trip is made with a sailboat and crew completely appropriate to the navigation plan. We will carry out part of our sailing and all members of the group will be able to learn all the techniques and maneuvers on board.
The descents to land will be coordinated by our polar guide in the places of greatest interest and where moderate level walking excursions will be made.
Antarctica is a place subject to different international standards to leave the minimum impact on its ecosystem. On land, all instructions from the expedition leader must be followed.
On the boat, all management falls to the Skipper of the boat who will take all measures for safe navigation. The safety material for sailing will be delivered upon arrival and in the same way a briefing will be carried out to guarantee maximum safety throughout the trip.
A list of materials will be provided to participants.
The sailboat is fully equipped with heating to be comfortable inside both when eating and sleeping. The sailboat has capacity for 12 passengers and 4 crew members, has 9 cabins and a very large deck. Meals will be eaten on board by all members of the group.
Sailing is an environmentally friendly activity. We try to navigate as much as we can and use the engine as little as possible.
