PROPOSAL
Every Tuesday in October 2024…
We will set sail on our sailboat El Doblón from Puerto Williams, Chile, located on the island of Navarino, Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost town in the world.
The embarkation will be at the mythical and picturesque Micalvi Yacht Club.
Tuesday, October 2024… The adventure begins.
After placing all the luggage, making the delivery of cabins and a small safety briefing, we will set sail heading west for the legendary Beagle Channel.
• Navigation is usually calm and pleasant, although we will have to be aware of the famous katabatic winds that can surprise us at any time while sailing through the Fuegian channels.
• We will spend our days sailing through small ice, and we will sleep anchored in different coves and bays.
• We will observe glaciers, such as the impressive Garibaldi, huge waterfalls, we will discover its magnificent snowdrifts and fjords such as the Pia, and the humid forests of Chilean Patagonia.
• We will enjoy its amazing marine fauna, humpback whales, sea lions, penguins, birds and we will surely be accompanied by southern dolphins playing with our bow.
• We’ll anchor at strategic points and board our zodiak for journeys and approaches. We’ll walk along paths and do small treckkings.
• We’ll sail to Darwin Island, where we’ll head south, towards Cook Bay. If the weather accompanies us, we will look out over the Pacific, and we will enjoy the day taking boards and sailing inside the bay.
• We will continue sailing through the Fuegian channels to Estéro Coloane, from here we will head to Puerto Williams.

THE DOBLÓN
This boat is our home at sea. It has a capacity for 12 passengers and 4 crew, in double cabins, with shared bathrooms. Our dining room is an ideal space to share talks, movies, board games and all our meals. The deck is also a space that we enjoy very much to discover the wonders of the canals.
The Doblón is very well designed. It was designed to sail in icy waters and is prepared to withstand low temperatures. Its size and depth allow us to travel small straits and alternative and unexplored routes. To sail these waters with El Doblón is to feel the adventure of living.
You will discover the most beautiful skies!
