- South Pacific
From the mystical shores of Rapa Nui, where ancient moai watch over the sea, we set sail into the wide blue silence of the Pacific. This is not a cruise—it’s a true ocean voyage, a journey through history, solitude, and the poetry of the sea.
As the last cliffs of Easter Island disappear over the horizon, the Tecla turns her bow southeast. The days stretch long and open, with only the wind and stars to mark our course. Flying fish skitter across the waves, the sails fill with shifting breezes, and each sunset writes its own farewell.
If wind and weather are in our favour, we may make a rare landfall at the Juan Fernández Islands—home of Robinson Crusoe and volcanic beauty far from any usual route. But this stop is not guaranteed, only whispered by the sea gods.
Then onward we go. As the Pacific cools and the long swell grows deeper, the winds begin to shift. The roaring forties beckon, and Tecla answers with grace, her sails tuned to every mood of the ocean. The camaraderie of life on board grows stronger with every watch, every shared sunrise, every pot of coffee brewed in a heaving galley.
By the time we reach the fjords and forests of Chilean Patagonia, we’ve crossed thousands of miles under sail alone. Puerto Montt rises from the mist like a promise fulfilled—landfall at last, in a place shaped by water and mountain.

Please note: All days at sea are subject to change based on wind, weather, and sea state. Any potential stop at Juan Fernández Islands is entirely weather-dependent and not guaranteed.
Day 1 – Arrival on board
Join Tecla in the anchorage off Hanga Roa. Familiarise yourself with the ship, meet your fellow explorers, and enjoy your first sunset with moai watching from ashore.
Day 2 – Preparations and departure
We spend the day making final preparations, completing immigration procedures, and setting sail in the afternoon or evening, bound for the open sea.
Day 3–7 – Into the Pacific
We settle into the rhythm of life at sea. Watch rotations, shared meals, and endless horizons. Nights under a canopy of stars; days marked by the creak of rigging and conversations in the wind.
Day 8–10 – Possible approach to Juan Fernández Islands (weather dependent)
If conditions allow, we adjust course for a potential landfall at Robinson Crusoe Island, part of the Juan Fernández Archipelago. A rugged, remote paradise with a small fishing community, dramatic trails, and history woven into every volcanic cliff. If seas or authorities make this impossible, we continue without pause.
Day 11–19 – Crossing into southern latitudes
The Pacific grows cooler, and Tecla sails deeper into the roaring forties. Winds build, swells lengthen. We sail in the spirit of ancient navigators—carving our course by wind and will alone.
Day 20 – Approaching the Chilean coast
Land returns to the horizon. We thread our way between islands and fjords toward the continent. Birds wheel above, and the scent of pine and rain reaches the deck.
Day 21 – Arrival in Puerto Montt
We drop anchor or tie up in Puerto Montt, the gateway to Chilean Patagonia. After over 2,000 nautical miles, a hot shower and a fresh breeze through the hills await.
