Nomads of the Seas offers an entirely new way to explore the heart of the lush evergreen Chilean Patagonia: by air, land and water.

The Atmosphere, a 28–passenger expedition cruise designed to that end, is equipped with a Bell 407 helicopter, six jet boats and a spectacular Hurricane 920 Zodiac, as well as several drift boats, sea kayaks, catacrafts, river rafts and other fun water toys.

Whale watching, bird watching, fly fishing, nature photography and glacier expeditions, as well as horseback riding, sea kayaking and soft rafting, trekking and hiking, hot springs and boating excursions mean unique experiences, carefully devised to offer the unparalleled opportunity of enjoying one of the last virgin and unexplored territories on earth.

The definition of enjoyment comes complete with a grand-class on–board experience: comfortable and elegantly casual interior design, a spa with thalassotherapy pools, gourmet cuisine, daily food and wine tasting, lectures and gracious hospitality provided by 32 professional crew members.

"Fishing and Nature have been my life's passion, and have prompted me to travel the most unexplored corners of my country and the world. I have flown and sailed many hours and scouted many lands looking for the best fishing spots, only to conclude that the Chilean Patagonia is definitely one of the best and most wonderful places on the planet.

Along with a highly specialized team, we have organized an unprecedented operation: we have built a ship especially designed to sail the Patagonian fjords, and we have equipped it with helicopters, several jet boats, jon boats, drift boats, cata rafts, kayaks and Zodiacs to reach any place we desire with utmost versatility and safety: the best fishing spots and eco tour locations and areas where no one has ever set foot before.

Some say that trips are personal experiences, that every person perceives these experiences differently and cherishes every memory according to their own history and sensibility. To every collective memory there is a vision behind it, a vision where adventure, cuisine, engineering, flight, fly fishing, ecotourism and service go hand in hand with experiencing untouched nature. I have always wanted to share this vision with you and every other adventurer. In Patagonia it is not man who dictates the schedule but nature, with all its force and splendor. Every time we chose a route, navigate through a fiord or a rapid river, we stopped in a lagoon, reached a mountain top, flew over unexplored territory or headed towards a glacier; it was Patagonia itself who showed us the way. The same happened when we adventured through millenary forests, we travelled through plains or we bathed in exquisite thermal waters.

For everybody on the Nomads team it will be a great challenge and privilege to share this expedition with you. Just as the Patagonian landscape is a vast one, so are the different persons that sail each time with us. Precisely, it is in that human diversity where I get the greatest treasures from each new journey; allowing friendships to last a lifetime or just fade away into beautiful memories. We truly wish that you are able to enjoy the Nomads experience. Our love and passion for this activity it what makes us true Nomads.

We invite you to sail, walk and fly over the Chilean Patagonia with us, to live an unbound experience of endless adventure." Andres Ergas, President, Nomads of the Seas
