Expedition Services
Our expertise at your service
Expedition Crew
​
If you are planning an exciting expedition project in the Arctic or Antarctica and are in search of an experienced ice pilot, captain, expedition leader, film crew, or wildlife guide to join your team, we would be pleased to learn more about your plans and discuss opportunities to collaborate.
We only participate in projects that we deeply respect, allowing us to channel our natural drive and passion and deliver our very best.
Please note that due to high demand, such collaborations need to be planned well in advance. The 2023 season is already fully booked, and we are currently in the process of scheduling for the 2024 season.

Yacht hunting
If you are looking for the perfect yacht for your expedition, we are able to give you good advice, share our network, experience, and deep know-how of expedition sailing in order to ensure you are making the best choice.
​
We are not brokers and, therefore, are not compromised by commission incentives. We will look for the best solution for you and can easily identify the pros and cons of various options. We will be completely honest about any weak points we spot - something none of the brokers will do, as their commission-based business model aims for the maximum number of sales at the highest possible price. We are able to protect you from salesman tricks, verify the actual condition and history of the yacht, owner, and crew, and help negotiate the best price.
The yacht hunting service includes:
-
A meeting or video call for the purpose of understanding your needs, budget, and preferences.
​
-
Thorough market research resulting in a proposal of 3 most suitable yachts, followed by a meeting or a video call for the purpose of explaining the pros and cons of each option.
​
-
Once the decision is made about which yacht suits you most, we can run a background check of that yacht. This will help you evaluate its actual history and technical condition. In addition, we can visit the yacht (if the seller agrees) to carry out an independent survey and rough estimation of the costs of adapting it to your project.
​
-
Support in negotiating the best price.
​
The yacht hunting service can save you a lot of time and money. Most importantly, it's designed to keep you out of trouble and ensure you are on the best track to make your dreams come true.

Consulting
​
If you need advice about expedition sailing, itinerary planning, optimizing the yacht for the Arctic environment, increasing autonomy, or reducing your environmental footprint, or would like to organize a custom training session for your expedition team, we're happy to offer it to you.
​
Should your enquiry require travel, this can be arranged too, provided we find an available slot that fits both parties.
