Sail with Urchin

Yes, Urchin is experienced in working with corporate clients as a support vessel in remote locations. Urchin is a safe platform capable of supporting crews of up to five guests. Urchin has proudly been deployed by prominent conservation societies, including providing logistics during the recent Gough Island Mouse Eradication Project. We welcome scientific institutes to partner with Urchin in their work. Using Urchin allows for a customized itinerary and cost-effective solution for clients with smaller crews and equipment requirements.

There is no need for sailing experience to join Urchin on a voyage. Guests may be involved in sailing duties to the degree that they wish to be. We take joy in sharing our sailing knowledge and taking time to teach our guests “the ropes on the boat”. However guests are required to participate in the day to day running of the vessel when it comes to preparing meals, and keeping the vessel tidy.

Urchin sails all over the world. Some of the places we frequent regularly include the South Atlantic Islands, West African Coast and the Arctic.

Urchin’s design allows her to sail anywhere in the world. We sail in the Summer season in the respective hemispheres for the safety and comfort of Urchin’s guests and crew. However there is no limit to Urchin’s ability to sail anywhere.

Yes! While it is not part of our normal itinerary we welcome charters to Antarctica. Urchin is looking forward to visiting the following locations: Patagonia, North-west passage, Antarctica, and North-West Africa with our guests on future voyages.

Yes, we welcome children, and Urchin is a safe place for anyone of any age should they act responsibly on the vessel.

Yes, Urchin loves to learn about new ways to make tasty meals to accommodate all guests onboard. Let us know your dietary requirements and we will prepare meals to accommodate your needs.
