01.11.2024 - VINSON OF ANTARCTICA IN SOUTH GEORGIA - OPPORTUNITIES TO JOIN US

Vinson of Antarctica alongside at Grytviken S. Georgia in the moonlight

After a somewhat sobering South Georgia mountaineering expedition in September where we were reminded yet again what the weather can be like on the island, we are all back home licking our wounds – and planning on next year’s adventures. See the video/photo gallery below.

Vinson of Antarctica is now beginning a 20 day dive charter in the Falkland Islands, followed by Rick Tomlinson’s photo safari in November/December on South Georgia, hopefully in better weather conditions!

Our RYA programmes are in full swing this season based in Puerto Williams. The Ocean Yachtmaster Theory and delivery to Cape Town is fully subscribed. As is the Offshore Theory and Beagle Channel and Cape Horn cruise.
