Lending a hand in Hawaii
Exhilarating heliskiing yacht charters
Published 16 February 2021
Explorer yachts have the capability not just to take you off the beaten track, but to take you to places where tracks have never even been made. It's a wilderness experience by day, expertly guided, contrasting with opulently decadent on board living.
Entire mountain ranges of unspoilt powder await, and the trip to the top of the slope offers spectacular views of the landscapes as you fly high into unspoilt nature. Your guides will select the right areas to suit your level of skiing and will offer you the chance to develop and explore new skills. And in the meantime, your crew will be busy preparing a warm welcome for you on your return: massage therapists, personal trainers, pools and private gyms await, not to mention gourmet delights from Michelin trained chefs.
Ski from summit to sea
Finely-tuned logistics handled by experienced and passionate ski professionals, as well as a large choice of other activities. Get taken for a ride with some dog-sledding, hang out with the humpback whales, explore the icebergs by tender and soak up the magical midnight sun…
Our charter experts recommend Greenland from April to June and Iceland from May to June. The pristine wilderness of Alaska offers incredible skiing from April to mid May and for those seeking the ultimate in trophy skiing, Antarctica is perfect from November. 2021 offers added celestial thrills with a total solar eclipse taking place on 4 December in Antarctica.
