Why plan before you sail?

Sailing in Chile is not like sailing the Mediterranean. Conditions change quickly, the southern canals have narrow passes with strong currents, and in many anchorages there is no coverage or nearby assistance. Solid planning is not a luxury: it is part of safety.

Captain Rodrigo Troncoso has sailed the austral canals, the Patagonian fjords, the Strait of Magellan and the open Chilean sea for over 30 years. That experience is what he puts at your disposal before you set sail.

The advisory is delivered in a personalized way: we review your specific route, your vessel conditions, your experience level and the time of year you will be sailing. This is not generic information — it is real analysis for your voyage.

FAQ

Questions I'm often asked

What does the navigation planning advisory include?
It includes a complete review of the route and navigation zone, weather, wind, tides and currents analysis, identification of anchorages, harbors and narrow passes, time, distance and fuel consumption calculations, and guidance on safety and crew preparation.
Does it apply to sailing the southern canals of Chile?
Yes, that is one of the scenarios where this advisory is most valuable. Captain Rodrigo has direct experience sailing the austral canals, Patagonian fjords and the Strait of Magellan — areas that require detailed planning due to their unpredictable weather conditions.
Is the advisory only online or also in-person?
Both options are available. Online is delivered by WhatsApp, video call or email from anywhere in Chile. In-person service is available depending on location and the Captain's availability.
Do I need prior experience to book this advisory?
No. The advisory adapts to the sailor's level, whether beginner, recreational or an experienced captain planning a specific route. Captain Rodrigo evaluates your situation and guides you accordingly.
