Quixote Expeditions

Quixote Expeditions 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, joining our vessels Hans Hansson and Ocean Tramp in Antarctica. Hans Hansson is a motor yacht, an ex-Norwegian life saving vessel, and can carry 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. Both 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, they also run trips for scientific and mountaineering and film expeditions. Even when not on a scientific trip, there is always a bunk reserved for a scientist. Science work and science education is a core value that is incorporated into every trip. Quixote Expeditions runs trips throughout the Southern Ocean.
