8-day Chilean Patagonia Luxury Fly Fishing and Eco-tour Adventure Tour for Two Guests
Nomads of the Seas has donated an 8-day Chilean Patagonia trout and salmon catch-and-release fly fishing trip for two anglers. Schedule this trip with outfitter for open dates in 2014, only. No alternate dates are available. Discover a rare remote corner of the globe, fly fishing untouched waters by day and cruising the Patagonian coastal fjords by night. Your hotel will be the Atmosphere, Nomads' ship. Atmosphere has been selected among the planet's top ten Explorer Yachts by Super Yacht Magazine, and Forbes magazine rated it as one of the top ten fly fishing lodges in the World! She spoils her guests with a crew of thirty-two serving a maximum of 28 guests, and serves as a mother ship for a Bell Ranger 407 helicopter, six Rogue jet boats, a Zodiac Hurricane 920 RIB, more than fifty strategically located McKenzie drift-boats, and over a dozen jet skiffs and cata-crafts. This last impressive fleet compensates for the remoteness of the fishing grounds, which range from freshwater rivers, creeks, lakes and lagoons to brackish tidal sections of rivers. Nomads reach into Patagonia's isolation so well that they have coined the term 'ultimate fly fishing' to capture their flexibility in the face of changing conditions. Besides fishing and enjoying the Atmosphere's comfort, you can go whale watching, bird watching or on inland tours. This donation includes accommodations (double cabin with twin bed, or queen, if available), meals, open bar (except special liquors), use of spa, thalassotherapy, daily fly fishing excursions as scheduled, daily whale watching and eco-tour excursions as scheduled and transfers to and from local airport. Additional anglers and observers are welcome, and cabin upgrades are available. Consult outfitter for details.
