Planning a voyage into the world's wildest waters? Don't go it alone—go prepared.
As the author of High Latitude Sailing, the definitive guide to voyaging in polar and sub-polar waters, I bring hard-won, firsthand expertise to sailors preparing for the most demanding passages on Earth. From the fjords of Norway and Greenland to Svalbard, Patagonia, and beyond, I have spent years navigating ice, reading polar weather, and refining the systems and seamanship that high-latitude voyaging demands.
What we offer:
Voyage planning — route selection, permits, timing, weather windows, and ice strategy tailored to your itinerary and experience level.
Vessel preparation — guidance on boat choice, heating, insulation, anchoring systems, and equipment proven in polar conditions.
Crew readiness — training and briefings on cold-weather seamanship, safety protocols, and emergency self-sufficiency.
Expedition support — practical advice on permits, logistics, remote anchorages, and operating far from rescue services.
Whether you are dreaming of your first Arctic cruise or preparing a full polar expedition, I will help you turn ambition into a safe, well-executed voyage.
