12 to 14 days sailing cruise along the Chilean Icefields and around Cape Horn

You will embark in Ushuaïa for your 12 or 14 days cruise in the Chilean channels.

The first stopover after Ushuaia will be the small Chilean village Puerto Williams on Navarino island, where the boat will have to complete some paperwork to be able to sail in Chilean waters. You will then sail across the Beagle Channel by the East, then will set course South, and cross the bay of Nassau to arrive in the Wollaston archipelago.

Later on, you will sail around mythical Cape Horn, thus passing from the Pacific to the Atlantic before going up towards North.

Several good shelters and anchorages will enable you to overnight and rest during this navigation as well as give you the possibility to discover the attractive nature of this area.

Apres avoir passé le Cap Horn, vous remonterez le Canal de Beagle et naviguerez vers l'Ouest. Ce parcours vous donnera l'occasion de naviguer au pied des montagnes de la cordillière Darwin, et de vous enfoncer dans les "seños" (fjords) au fond desquels les glaciers tombent dans la mer.
Les lions de mer, les otaries, les dauphins seront vos rencontres quotidiennes.
Les mouillages et les balades à terre sont innombrables, surprenants, dans une nature grandiose et complètement vierge.
Les balades a terre ne sont jamais difficiles, la variété du terrain permet de s'adapter à tous les niveaux.

After having passed Cape Horn, you will sail up the Beagle Channel and towards the West. This course will give you the opportunity to sail at the bottom of the Darwin Cordillera, and to penetrate the "seños" (fjords) at the bottom of which glaciers fall into the sea.
Sea lions, seals, dolphins, albatross and other gulls will be your daily visitors.
Anchorages and hikes ashore are innumerable, amazing, in an imposing and virgin nature. Hikes ashore are never difficult, the variety of the terrain will satisfy all kinds of hikers.

Antarctic Expeditions, Drake Passage and Cape Horn

With a boarding in Ushuaïa, this navigation towards the Antarctic peninsula is offered from January 15, 2007 to February 13, 2007 and from February 17 to March 16, 2007.
It comprises two 4 days of open seas navigation through Drake Passage separating Cape Horn from the Antarctic peninsula.

This unusual navigation towards one of the last virgin and uninhabited spaces of our planet will give you the opportunity to meet the marine penguins, seagulls and other birds, the furry sealions which come to reproduce there and play on the ice-barrier and the whales which go up towards the equatorial lattitudes.

A total break from your busy life guaranteed! A taste of Adventure on the traces of Cook, Belllinghausen and other explorers, scientists or seals hunters which all were subjugated by the beauty of the water-ice-rock mixture under the light of the long summer days...
