What our customers think of Antarctic Yacht Expedition

10/10 - We thoroughly enjoyed the adventure of being on a small yacht with an outstanding crew. Cpt. Dave, Mack, Simon, Janey, and Ese made the trip outstanding. They were highly professional, helpful, and skilled. At no time did we feel unsafe or neglected. I visited Antarctica in 2014 on another larger ship - although an equally outstanding experience, I much prefer the being so intimately close to the icebergs, whales, penguins and the ice.

Penguins, whales, seals, - everything one expects and more. Favourite encounter was the four humpback whales that surfaced and circled the yacht for at least 30 minutes or more. Plenty of photos were taken by all.

The Expedition team starting with Juan who marshaled us to King George Island to Captain Dave, First Mate Simon, Steward Mack, Ese, and Chief Janey were extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, safe, respectful and helpful. I miss them everyday.
