FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT OHANA IN PATAGONIA

One of the most enchanting destinations on Earth, Patagonia is a land of wonder, with the Andes Mountains separating the Argentinian side and the Chilean side. The Argentinian side is full of barren steppes, grasslands and deserts, while the Chilean side has gargantuan glacial fjords and a tantalizingly unexplored rain forest. Visiting Patagonia during the winter months can be a challenge for land dwellers due to the colder weather and tricky hiking trails. By chartering Ohana , you can see all the wonders of this mystical place in total comfort and luxury and, when you disembark, there won’t be hordes of tourists to contend with — enjoy the peace and solitude as well as those captivating scenes. Ohana has an impressive history in sailing regattas (including the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta) and has gorgeous design to boot, with a gray hull and whitewashed oak interior. She has a veritable toy box on board: water skis, a wakeboard and paddleboards, as well as diving gear (the famous dive spot in the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia, is known as the ‘City at the End of the World’). From $169,200 per week.
