THE SAILING YACHT
NAUTICAT 515 " SILLAGE "
The Nauticat 515 is classical, elegant and spaciously designed.
For our Arctic cruises this yacht was the obvious choice.
Its central pilothouse and its outside view allows for great navigation comfort in the Artic.

OUR HISTORY
Discover the story of Christophe and his wife Marie-Diane, the ARCTIC SAILING ESCAPE expedition skippers and their vessels.
Following Christophe’s acquisition of his first sailing boats, an Elisabethan 35, then an Arpège, Christophe and Marie Diane sailed a Chance 37 and later a Passoa 47.
Now, in 2016, they invite you to discover the Arctic aboard a Nauticat 515, a larger, more comfortable sailboat, ideally designed for navigating the northernmost latitudes.

PHOTO SAFARI IN THE ARCTIC

Svalbard is an archipelago (of which the largest island is the Spitsbergen).
This archipelago encompasses well the biodiversity of the Arctic. The tundra is varied, the glaciers are magnificent and impressive in size.
The fauna is very diverse with many birds and different species of mammals such as foxes, reindeer, walruses, seals and especially the polar bear, emblem of Spitsbergen and the Arctic. The polar bear has been classified as an endangered species since 1973. Encounters with the polar bear are very frequent around the archipelago. Longyearbyen is the only city counting 25,00 inhabitants.
