Alba Yatch

Cruise along the Big Island of Chiloe in style. “Alba” is a yacht designed by experienced carpenters with traditional craftsmanship. A ship built from native noble woods, 66 feet long and led by a navigator with more than 11 years of experience, Alba Yatch is the perfect choice for canal crossings. Accompanied by a team of professional chefs, the Yach also features exquisite, seafood gastronomy for travelers.

The name of the archipelago means “land of Cahuiles”. Cahuiles in the native tongue refers to the many species of gulls that are abundant in the inhabited coastal areas of Chiloé, and along the maritime routes used by fishing boats and other sea vessels. The geophysical isolation and climate of the island has boosted the area’s biological diversity. The island’s abundant amount of rain breeds an evergreen forest, which becomes home to rare species such as the Pudú (one of the smallest species of deer) and Darwin’s fox.

Around the island, the cold sea currents rich in nutrients provide an extremely favorable environment for different species of fish, whales and marine mammals, such as those found in the Gulf of Corcovado, one of the favorite feeding grounds for blue whales, orcas, dolphins and sea lions among others.
