Punta Arenas / Ushuaia yacht support
Punta Arenas and Ushuaia are established gateways to Antarctica. 60 South can provide or coordinate the local services required before and after your yacht expedition, helping owners, captains and management companies manage the logistical requirements surrounding an Antarctic programme.
Most yacht services can be coordinated from either port. Each gateway has different practical advantages depending on the yacht, itinerary, flag, logistical requirements and planned operation.

Modular support
Use the services you need
A yacht may already have its own agent or logistics arrangements and require assistance with only part of the operation. There is no requirement to purchase a complete package.
Two established gateways to Antarctica
Both Punta Arenas and Ushuaia are established gateways to Antarctica, and most yacht services can be coordinated from either port, including provisioning, fuel, agency services, freight, technical assistance and crew logistics.
However, each port has different practical advantages depending on the yacht, itinerary, flag, logistical requirements and planned operation.
Choosing the right gateway
60 South can advise which gateway, or combination of gateways, is most suitable for each programme.
Punta Arenas & Fly-In operations
Flights to King George Island are operated from Punta Arenas. When owners or guests intend to fly to or from Antarctica, Punta Arenas normally becomes an important part of the overall logistics.
Local services before and after your expedition
60 South can provide or coordinate the local services required before and after your yacht expedition, from port and agency services to provisioning, fuel arrangements, freight, technical support and crew logistics.
The service can complement the yacht’s existing operational structure rather than replace it.
