Operated between December to April.
From US$894 p/p

FULL REFUND IF TRIP CANNOT BE OPERATED
WE OFFER: a wonderful, albeit noisy at times (when the anchor is dropped and retrieved), opportunity to stay on board a converted fishing vessel that boast wood-paneled cabins, WC´s with showers, dining room and outside decks. This trip is adventurous, passing into one of the remotest, pristine areas on Earth filled with natural marine fauna, and costal lands full with native forests, snow-topped mountains, hanging glaciers and glaciers that come down to meet the sea. The navigation enters channels fiords, into the heart of mother nature. When the whales are spotted the ship will get as close as is safe and passengers can marvel at the majestic Humpback´s as they dive down for food to reveal their uniquely marked tail fins. This option should be incorporated into the rest of your Patagonian itinerary as an add-on pre or post Torres del Paine.
