Conservation at the Core

Pelorus is privileged to be operating in largely undiscovered regions such as Antarctica. With every private expedition, we make sure that we are adhering to sustainable travel, working within the boundaries of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) and alongside leading experts in their field.

In addition to this, our clients have the privilege of becoming ambassadors for Antarctica, growing in awareness and understanding of the climate crisis and the need for conservation.

As part of your trip, you’ll be accompanied by leading conservationists and scientists, not only enabling you to witness and participate in global research efforts, but you’ll also be giving the scientists the means to carry out their research.

Why charter a yacht in Antarctica?

Chartering a yacht in Antarctica unlocks an entirely different level of exploration - one that offers unrivalled access to the White Continent’s most remote and untouched regions. From the comfort of an ice-strengthened expedition yacht, you can reach areas that traditional routes can’t. Sail through labyrinths of towering icebergs, landing on uninhabited shores, and encountering wildlife far from any other travellers.

A yacht offers complete flexibility, allowing your itinerary to adapt to the weather, wildlife movements, and your own curiosity.
