Luxury yacht charter in Antarctica

A yacht charter in Antarctica is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, where you can journey to the end of the earth and discover one of the most beautiful and remote regions on the planet.

Take in the incredible remote scenery and wildlife of this icy wonderland. Get up close and personal with penguins, see whales cut seamlessly through the cold waters and marvel at protected seabirds overhead.

Explore the sandy slopes of Hannah Point on the south coast of Livingston Island and watch colonies of penguins and Elephant seals lounging on the pebble beaches. Drop anchor at Deception Island. Take your charter yacht directly into the centre of the volcano in the sheltered bay.

Get up close with Deception’s large colony of Chinstrap penguins before going ashore to explore the frozen landscapes. Only for the bold, Deception is also the perfect spot to take a polar plunge. Gently heated by the island’s volcano, dive into the waters around Pendulum Cove before warming up back on board.

Lying between Adelaide Island and Graham Land, the Gullet is a beautiful narrow channel surrounded by soaring mountains tipped with snow. Flat and calm, the water in the Gullet offers perfect conditions for tranquil cruising on your charter yacht through blue-ice glaciers to Marguerite Bay. On the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula, Marguerite Bay is made up of ice and rock and is the ideal spot to observe the continent’s incredible marine life.

Take advantage of 24-hour daylight during the summer months and spot penguins, seals and whales basking in the Antarctic sun. This is a wildlife experience like no other and a true bucket-list charter destination.

Antarctica itinerary

King George Island

King George Island

Fly from your home city to Santiago, Chile. From here continue down to Punta Arenas for an overnight stop.
The following morning you will be collected and taken to your plane for the short hop to King George Island for embarkation 90 minutes later.

Livingston Island

Livingston Island

Livingston Island is the second largest of the South Shetland Islands and has two important nature reserves used by scientists to study and monitor the island’s wildlife. It's home to Hannah Point, where sandy slopes lead to pebble beaches. You can observe and photograph the colonies of penguins and elephant seals who call Livingston home. Walk a little way up the beach to catch a glimpse of neighbouring Deception Island, the next port of call.

Deception Island

Deception Island

Formed after a caldera volcanic explosion, the quirky c-shaped Deception Island defies its name from the offset with its intriguing scenery and plentiful wildlife. Anchor in the island’s sheltered bay and go ashore to discover spectacular coastal walks. For a novel hot spring experience, dig a hole in the black sand down on Port Foster beach and relax in the warm water gently heated by the island’s volcano. Whilst ashore, don’t miss the opportunity to get up close and personal with some Chinstrap penguins.

Sail to Iceberg Alley in the Antarctic Sound and drift past incredible ice shelves as you watch immense glaciers emerge from the comfort of your luxury yacht. As you cruise the edge of the Weddell Sea, watch out for passing ice flows. You’ll pass nearby an important Emperor penguin rookery on Snow Hill Island so it may be possible to catch a glimpse of the elusive penguins resting on the drift ice before they head for open water.
