NOMADS OF THE SEAS
Nomads of the Seas Ultimate Fly Fishing program is, without a doubt, an experience full of adventures and surprises that will captivate the hearts of all courageous explorers that go deep into this adventure. Reaching places where man has never been before, fishing in places that haven’t suffered human alterations, pollution or any kind of intervention other than that of Mother Nature is the privilege that our guests will experience with Nomads of the Seas and its Ultimate Fly Fishing program.
To keep its promise, Nomads of the Seas relies on its cutting edge aero-maritime transport system consisting of a Bell 407 helicopter, 6 jet-boats, a Hurricane 920 RIB zodiac, and other lesser watercrafts such as zodiacs and catacrafts. Meanwhile, 36 McKenzie boats and 12 jetskiffs are placed in strategic spots of the Patagonia, readily available for fishing trips in deeper territory. This equipment allows us to penetrate into the most secluded rivers, lagoons and mountains, some of them lying untouched and unseen, waiting to be discovered.
In Ultimate Fly-Fishing, the angler may become part of a scouting team, which adds a whole new dimension to each expedition. There is no such thing as being bound to a specific location; groups are free to explore privileged sites, including some that have rarely, if ever, seen a fishing line. Due to these conditions, trophy catches are not hard to find at Nomads.
With over 250 million acres of impressive geography, Patagonia still remains as one of the rare corners on the planet yet to be discovered. Keeping its invaluable treasures and exquisite biodiversity for the few who venture to discover and appreciate them.
This voyage to the central-southern and southern areas of Chilean Patagonia covers over 1111 kilometers/600 nautical miles from the bay of Puerto Montt (latitude 41°S and longitude 72°W) to the Taitao peninsula (latitude 46°S and longitude 73°W).
Our unique journey through a hidden area of Patagonia enables our guests to enjoy a superb combination of blending glaciers, snowcapped peaks, summits and volcanoes of the southern Andes with luxuriant cold jungle forest, as well as abundant rivers, lakes and lagoons.
Daily itinerary
Each day aboard Atmosphere is unique and different. The specific programs are defined between 12 and 24 hours in advance, so that fishing and wildlife expeditions can take into account immediate climatic conditions and other relevant factors such as cetacean location, fish behavior, and tides, among others. Day by day, routes are studied and defined, there is no specific track; we tailor each trip differently in order to provide the very best scenery and excursions for all our guests.
Weather
Temperatures in Patagonia are not extremely low due to the influence of the sea and the action of the winds; hence, the coldest months are rarely below 4°C / 39°F. Conversely, on warmer days thermometers may rise up to 20° C/ 68° F; an actual proof of how changeable weather in Patagonia may be. With a proper dressing, this fact should not get in the way of experiencing the Nomad adventure.
