Spirit of Sydney Expeditions

Consulting Antarctica is a vessel management and consulting company focused on Antarctic operations as part of Spirit of Sydney Expeditions. The company started 24 + years ago offering yacht-based expedition support to the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, and The Falkland Islands aboard the 60ft aluminum sailing vessel Spirit of Sydney. Due to the network of clients and field experts that we have developed throughout the years, our company has evolved. Now our focus is management, consulting, and logistics. We partner with clients and provide them with solutions to sort out the difficulties of operating in the complex Antarctic Universe. We have been operating superyachts, icebreakers, and sailing yachts, including helicopter and submersible operations. We especially pride ourselves on our pioneering work in heli-skiing, submarine exploration, multi-vessel operations, first descents, and accessing the remotest areas of Antarctica: for example, the Blood Falls in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Some areas that we cover are: Itinerary and Expedition Planning, Permitting and Required Documentation, Expedition Staff, Ski-Mountaineering, Mentoring for New Operators, Ice-Pilot Training, and Certification (Certified through the Australian Maritime College), Risk Management, Vessel Inspection, etc. Some of our clients: Pelorus, Cookson Adventures, HBO, VICE, Animal Planet, BBC, Disney, NRK, Scott Polar Research Institute, Discovery Channel, Oxford University, Oceanwide Expeditions. www.consultingantarctica.com
