This is a 60 ft. aluminum sloop reinforced for ice that has sailed all over the world. There are two outboard-powered tenders. The crew speaks English, Spanish and French. Passengers need to be very good physical condition. To reach Antarctica or South Georgia takes several days of cruising on the high seas, and passengers take their turns at the four-hour watches day and night, wet or cold.
Rough seas can mean getting wet.
Passengers are expected to serve as members of the crew rather than be guests and are expected to help sail the boat and prepare meals. No children under age 15 areaccepted. On the Cape Horn and Darwin Range trip the ship goes between Navarino Island and Lennox Island, crossing Nassau Bay to the Wollaston Archipelago and Horn Island. Then the boat sails along Beagle Channel, stopping here and there in sheltered creeks before arriving in the North West Arm. The Beagle Channel is an old glacial valley which branches off into several deep fjords.
