Services
Servicing the needs of expeditions to Antarctica and the Southern Ocean region since 1988, Pelagic Expeditions can offer both consultancy and support to expeditions of every type including those wishing to re-enact great explorer’s exploits, conduct scientific surveys, make films, dive, climb, ski and kayak.
Skip’s consultancy services are now supplied through a joint venture with EYOS expeditions where Skip was appointed Director Sailing Operations . See www.eyos-expeditions.com for details or e-mail: skipnovak@pelagic.co.uk for a preliminary discussion and introduction.
Mountaineering and Skiing Support
Our sea based mountaineering support experience is second to none in this
region and the meticulous preparation and care needed for this most
demanding of all activities underpins all our other expedition support work. Click here for a photo

Film Project Support
Since 1988 we have supported, help make and many times featured in over two
dozen films. Having the expertise in mountaineering, diving, kayaking and
wildlife locations, we are one of the most flexible of vessel based
organizations that fully understand production company’s requirements.

Dive Support
Our vessels can be fully kitted out for cold water diving, providing the
client group with bottles, weights, two compressors and dive first aid gear.
Our Zodiacs, which we always use in tandem for dive projects give maximum
flexibility and safety cover.
Kayak and Small Boat Support
We have supported two circumnavigations by kayak of South Georgia and a film
project on the Antarctic Peninsula that used kayaks as the mode of travel.
In 1997 we supported the South Aris Project with a James Caird replica
sailing from Elephant Island to South Georgia. See Kayak and Small Boat
Support for details of the services we can offer in what is becoming an
increasingly popular high latitude activity.
