Experiences
A Patagonia to be experienced
Some places are discovered by sailing. Others require stopping, walking, diving or casting a line.
Our experiences are born from knowledge of the territory and the ability to reach remote places with the logistics and specialists needed to truly explore them.
Every voyage can become something different: a fishing expedition, a dive in southern waters, a day of land exploration, a culinary experience, a night in a remote refuge or simply the opportunity to discover Patagonia from another perspective.
We do not design experiences in isolation from the territory. We incorporate them naturally into each voyage, according to the interests of the group, the vessel, the season and the conditions of each place.
Types of experience
Choose what you want to experience
Each experience is coordinated according to the group, the weather and the region — this is what can be added to your journey.
Moments from the experience
The territory
Western Patagonia Culinary Experience
Gastronomy with a sense of place
Patagonia is also discovered through its flavours.
Our culinary offering is rooted in the territory and its produce: fish, seafood, oysters, lamb and other local ingredients that form part of the culinary identity of southern Chile.
The Western Patagonia Culinary Experience brings this connection with the territory on board, creating a culinary offering specially conceived for each expedition.
From a meal prepared with freshly caught seafood to a barbecue beside a remote fjord, gastronomy becomes part of the journey as an element of the exploration experience.
The landscape is the table. The territory is the ingredient.
Exploration
Exploration activities
Fly Fishing
Patagonia offers some of the most extraordinary settings for fly fishing. We work with expert guides with deep knowledge of the territories we explore, able to design an expedition dedicated exclusively to fly fishing or to incorporate fishing days into a voyage.Read more
Depending on the route, we can make stops at rivers, lakes and specially selected fishing grounds, combining the sailing experience with days on land.
Each outing is adapted to the participants' level, the season and the character of the territory, always seeking places where the fishing experience becomes part of a true exploration of Patagonia.
Sea Fishing
The channels and fjords of Patagonia offer unique opportunities to explore fishing in southern waters.Read more
In some of our destinations, we work with specialised guides who know the fishing areas and can accompany the group on a guided day.
The experience can be naturally integrated into the charter, sailing to selected locations for a fishing outing before continuing the expedition on board.
A day at sea, surrounded by mountains, forests and fjords, where fishing becomes another way of discovering the territory.
Diving Expeditions
Diving in Patagonia requires planning, experience and specially prepared logistics. For this reason, we do not approach it as a standalone day activity, but as a complete diving expedition.Read more
We work with instructors and professionals experienced in the territories we explore, with the possibility of organising the complete operation: diving equipment, tanks, compressors, safety, surface logistics and underwater photography.
The vessel becomes our base for exploring the fjords, channels and marine ecosystems of Patagonia beneath the surface.
Each expedition is designed specifically for the group and destination, taking into account local conditions, the participants' experience and the logistics required for a safe and complete operation.
Land Exploration
Sailing allows us to reach extraordinary places, but some reveal their true scale only when we leave the vessel and continue on foot.Read more
Along our routes, there are many opportunities for land exploration: nature reserves, national parks, glaciers, rivers, forests and remote coastlines, always selected according to the route and the conditions of the journey.
In Laguna San Rafael, for example, we can incorporate an ascent of Gualas Glacier, descend the river by packraft, explore the Ofqui Isthmus or visit the unusual whale cemetery of San Esteban Gulf.
It is also possible to trek and take guided excursions around Laguna San Rafael National Park, explore the shores of the lagoon and observe colonies of elephant seals, leopard seals and an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna.
Each outing on land is an opportunity to change perspective: from boat to forest, from fjord to glacier, from sea to places where Patagonia becomes completely wild.
Wilderness hospitality
Sleeping where the road ends
Patagonia can also be explored from land.
During an expedition, it is possible to complement sailing with stays in special places: refuges, lodges, hot springs and establishments deeply connected to the territory. These are places where the experience continues after going ashore, revealing another dimension of Patagonia and the communities that inhabit it.
Reserva Melimoyu
A territory where mountain, forest and sea meet in front of one of the most extraordinary landscapes in Patagonia.Read more
Reserva Melimoyu allows us to pause the sailing and venture into a remote setting surrounded by nature and vast southern landscapes.
An experience for those seeking to combine exploration, isolation and direct contact with a largely untouched territory.
Pitipalena Marina & Refugio
Amid the southern fjords, Pitipalena offers a place to stop, explore and rest.Read more
Its marina and refuge allow sailing to be complemented by a more intimate experience on land, surrounded by nature and with the possibility of discovering the landscapes and ecosystems around this remote corner of Patagonia.
A meeting point between sailing, exploration and refuge.
Lodge Isla Jechica
An island experience in the heart of Los Chonos.Read more
Lodge Isla Jechica allows us to combine sailing, nature and island life in a setting where the landscape is an essential part of the experience.
A pause within the expedition to discover the territory from another perspective, surrounded by sea, forests and the distinctive identity of the archipelago.
Quitralco
Hot springs, mountains, forests and sea meet in one of the most distinctive corners of Patagonia.Read more
A stay in Quitralco can combine sailing, bathing in hot springs, exploration, horse riding and a barbecue in the open air, before spending the night in this remote landscape.
A place to slow down, enjoy the surroundings and experience Patagonia through a blend of adventure and contemplation.
Rural Tourism — Quehui Island
Sailing around Chiloé also offers access to a more intimate dimension of the archipelago.Read more
On Quehui Island, we can discover rural life, its landscapes, traditions and gastronomy, and the everyday relationship its inhabitants have with the sea and the land.
An authentic experience that offers a way to discover Chiloé beyond its usual routes and connect directly with its local culture.
Mechuque Island
A small archipelago where architecture, history and local life remain deeply connected to the sea.Read more
A visit to Mechuque allows us to walk, discover its traditional buildings, learn about its history and get closer to the life of an island community.
A brief stop, rich in identity, within a voyage through the Chiloé Archipelago.
Aerial extensions
The air as an extension of sailing
Patagonia can also be discovered from the air.
On certain routes, we can incorporate aerial experiences into the nautical charter itself, using seaplanes or helicopters to temporarily extend the territory explored. The aim is not to replace sailing, but to add a new perspective to the expedition: reaching the vessel from the air, flying over a glacier, briefly accessing a remote place or carrying out a specific activity before returning on board and continuing to sail.
Arriving at the Vessel by Seaplane
Begin the expedition from the air.Read more
Depending on the route, it is possible to reach the vessel directly by seaplane, flying over islands, fjords, forests and mountains before meeting the vessel at a remote point in Patagonia.
An extraordinary way to begin a voyage and experience the vastness of the territory from the very first moment.
Helicopter Exploration
During the charter, when the route and conditions allow, we can incorporate a short helicopter flight to discover glaciers, mountains, valleys and territories that are difficult to access from the sea.Read more
After the flight, we return to the vessel and the expedition continues by sea.
An experience that allows us to see from above the territory we are exploring from the water.
Remote Fishing from the Charter
On certain routes, a day of fishing can be extended by incorporating a short aerial transfer to a remote river or fishing area.Read more
The group can enjoy a short guided fishing day and then return to the vessel to continue the charter.
The air thus becomes an extension of the nautical expedition, allowing access to places that would otherwise require much more complex logistics, while the vessel always remains the central element of the journey.
Every expedition is different
The experiences available depend on the route, the vessel, the season and the conditions of the territory.
Some activities require specialised guides, specific equipment, additional logistics or the participation of local operators. Aerial experiences are also subject to weather and operational conditions and the relevant authorisations.
Our team assesses each expedition individually to integrate the experiences that best suit the group and the territory they wish to explore.
The route defines the territory. The group defines the experience.
