New Charter Option in Chile

Edmiston & Company continues to surprise me with new-to-fleet boats offering truly unusual charter experiences. This past summer, I told you about the 194-foot motoryacht Senses becoming available in Madagascar. At that same time, I wrote about the 226-foot motoryacht Tia Moana seeking charters in the Tuamotu Islands. More recently, I posted about the 120-foot motoryacht Sheleila being available for charter at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Now comes word that Edmiston is moving even farther afield from the traditional Caribbean and Mediterranean charter grounds, with a 28-guest boat called Atmosphere that is available for charters in Chile.

As you can see from the photographs that the company provided, this charter experience is being marketed as anything but standard. The tenders include no fewer than five jet boats, each 23 feet long; 36 fishing skiffs; and at least a pair of Bell 407 helicopters that will allow guests to enjoy heli-skiing, dining atop glaciers, and more. Hot springs and salmon fishing can also be part of the itinerary, along with kayaking through the raw, natural surroundings.

Charters will run round-trip from Puerto Montt, which is a port city of about 150,000 people in southern Chile. Edmiston describes it being similar to locations in Scandinavia, and says that both commercial and private flights can access the location easily.

Available charter dates run Saturday-to-Saturday, and just four weeks of availability remain between now and February. The rate for 28 guests with 32 English- and Spanish-speaking crew depend on how many helicopters and fishing guides you request.
