Unique Patagonia Cruise Combines Whale Watching and Fly Fishing

Fly fishing for trout and viewing  gigantic blue whales in a Zodiac don’t usually go together but this Patagonia cruise on the MN Atmosphere manages both, and in style. The Andes and sea meet on the southern coast of Chile in a region of Patagonia famous for crystal clear mountain streams and big trout, and where blue whales can be seen in the Golf of Corcovado.  The Atmosphere is the only adventure cruise ship designed specifically to cruise the coast of Patagonia.

The 150 foot ship’s crew includes 9 expert fly fishing guides and a leading whale biologist, Gian Paolo Sanino, and they have two helicopters, a 30 foot rigid inflatible boat (RIB) designed for the Navy Seals in which to explore the most remote mountain streams and the marine coastline.  The Atmosphere was built by a young Chilean adventurer with a passion for fly fishing and it’s perfect for a Patagonia cruise among small remote bays with towering snow covered peaks above.  If the shoreline is too rugged for landing, the helicopters whisk passengers beyond the highest peaks, while the RIB can maneuver shallow or deep water.  There are also sea kayaks for quiet trips in sheltered coves and up coastal river valleys.

The vessel is a sleek work of art that provides sybaratic shelter.  While cruising the coast of Patagonia you can relax in the saltwater hot tubs or sauna, then have a massage.  Meals prepared by Chile’s top chefs and accompanied by excellent Sauvignon Blancs and Carmineres from the Chiles vineyards.  The cabins are relatively small and mostly have two single beds, but this is an expedition style adventure cruise and they’re certainly not spartan. There are three larger cabins with queen-sized beds.

The MN Atmospere sails from Puerto Montt, Chile, every Saturday afternoon from October through April. Puerto Montt is the gateway to the Pacific coast of Patagonia and gateway to the Patagonian Lake District.  There are connecting flights from Santiago to Puerto Montt several times a day.  The ship returns to Puerto Montt the following Saturday morning in time to make connecting flights north to Santiago or south to Punta Arenas, the gateway to the national parks of the southern  Andes.

Trout (Paperback) $30.79 Leaping effortlessly from bright streams into the human imagination, the trout has an ancient fascination that can be traced back to Stone Age cave dwellers, and it thrives today in our diet, religion, folklore, history, science, literature, and, of course, fishermen’s tales. James Owen reveals here why the trout beguiles us so. Taking myriad forms, the fish has a vitality and physical beauty that brings to mind pure waters and quiet, outdoor spaces. This biography of the trout showcases the animal as sacred fish, edible fish, farmed fish, and a fish of scientific investigation. In telling this story, Owen follows the trout around the world: starting in Europe and North America, he then follows the voyage that took the creature from England to Australia in the nineteenth century. Along the way, he presents a diverse cast of characters, from obscure British saints and fly-fishing nuns to visionary inventors, jazz singers, and counterculture novelists—all united by this magical animal. Trout will delight and surprise anglers who have ever cast a fly and anyone who has caught a glimpse of its stunning camouflage.
