Pelorus in the press

We are delighted to see Pelorus and our co-founder Geordie featured in the Financial Times and HTSI, discussing the growing demand for our Antarctic yacht expeditions.

In Grace Cook’s round-up of her epic experience in the Arctic, she discusses the “peaking interest in polar travel, where hard-to-reach landscapes, sub-zero temperatures and snowy, desolate vistas offer an extreme disconnection from everyday life. Demand for adventure yachting down the Antarctic Peninsula is up 400 percent at boat charter specialist Pelorus”.

Our co-founder Geordie was featured in the articles reflecting on the change in travel trends: “The days of a fly-and-flop holiday are done”. Instead, Pelorus clients can get stuck in with experiences that offer something truly different. “Pelorus […] take[s] a scientist on most excursions, with clients contributing to the financial outlay. ‘It amplifies the experience because they’re giving back.'”
