You can focus on the adventure, knowing you’re supported by a team that knows their craft.
Your Boat
The Southern Star
Your yacht is a 23-meter Bermudian cutter, named the Southern Star. The vessel spent 21 seasons in the Arctic and undertook 17 major polar expeditions, including crossing the Northwest Passage twice.
In addition to the collision bulkhead at the bow, Southern Star also has a movable centerboard which, when raised, reduces the draft to 2.1 metres, enabling safe navigation in ice and in waters without precisely mapped depths, and when lowered, increases efficiency when sailing upwind.
Capacious fuel tanks (2,000 liters) and freshwater tanks ensure the vessel's high autonomy during long expeditions. It also includes a robust Zodiac-type inflatable boat with an armored bottom and a reliable engine, suitable for landings ashore.
Seven enclosed and radiator-heated cabins ensure complete comfort for passengers and crew, even in the coldest regions of the world. A covered cockpit provides protection for the helmsman and crew during challenging navigation.
