Quixote Expeditions

Quixote Expeditions (now doing business as 60 South) is an expeditionary sailing company that offers one of the only FLY-SAIL combinations available for yachts. We offer trips that fly both ways across The Drake Passage and join our vessels in Antarctica. Our three vessels are: Hans Hansson, Meredian, and Ocean Tramp. Hans Hansson is a motor yacht, an ex-Norwegian life saving vessel, and can carry 12 guests. Meredian is an ex fishing an guard vessel refitted for expedition micro cruising, taking 12 guests. Our sailboat, Ocean Tramp is a 66 feet ketch rigged sailboat, with 5 cabins. She very comfortably can carry 8/10 guest plus two crew members. She is a very fast sailboat thanks to her long length, making for a short passage the sailing across the Drake. All are ideal for photographers, hikers, divers, scientists and all sort of expeditions that need a large capacity vessel with plenty of storage as well as the needed comfort when living on a sailboat or smaller vessel for longer periods of time. In addition to planned trips, 60 South / Quixote also runs trips for scientific, and mountaineering, and film expeditions. Science work and science education is a core value that is incorporated into every trip. Quixote Expeditions runs trips throughout the Southern Ocean.
