FIRST PERSON INFORMATION AT NOMADS OF THE SEAS
 
First impressions are lasting...unless each subsequent impression leaves you in a state of bewilderment that goes beyond expectation. My first impression of Nomads was being greeted with a smile at the Santiago airport. Then it was a cup of fabulous espresso in the airport cafe with my long time friend Pablo Negri. All I can say is that the impressions kept coming for five days and none was below excellent. This is luxury and attention to the detail like no other destination I have seen. Most operators attempt to control all the things that can be controlled. Nomads also attempts to control the uncontrollable. My trip here in December of 2006 took over the top spot on my all time favorites for a number of reasons. First and foremost is the ability to fish lakes and streams that are almost untouched. These trout willingly take flies even in the early season. I can just imagine what the fishing is like in the prime months of January through March. This is "new frontier" fishing with five star luxury surrounding you.
 
GENERAL INFO FOR NOMADS OF THE SEAS

Nomads of the Seas is a new concept that revolves around the Chilean Patagonia with a revolutionary approach to fly fishing, ecotourism and cruises.

Our company has developed a unique and trustworthy new venture that assures highly demanding clients willing to visit the Chilean Patagonia, unparalleled levels of personalized and professional service in an area honored by many as the world ultimate fly fishing and ecotourism destination.

We have carefully designed one-week extreme fly fishing adventures and ecotourism expedition programs for a very limited amount of guests, all of which can securely fulfill their highest expectations while traveling aboard our Mother Ship specifically designed for the area. This ship accommodates a maximum of 18 fishing guests and 10 non-fishing guests for each trip.

With the capability of self-carrying one of the most spectacular air-water transportation systems known to date, we cover de deepest areas of Patagonia by air, land and water.

Our sailing journey through gentle fjords and channels in which ancient native aborigines and famous explorers navigated in the past, provides delightful and untouched natural parks and reserves, unique and spectacular flora and fauna, as well as breathtaking views of the Andes Mountain Range, which here softly plunge into the Pacific Ocean. Everyday our guests wake up in a spectacular new setting, having all the needed flexibility to deal with constantly changing weather and fishing conditions.

Each exploratory fly-fishing and ecotourism daily journey grants clients with the very best professional guided service and safety-precaution standards. Delicious Chilean gourmet cuisine and wines, and our on board spa with Thalasoterapy treatments gives total comfort to the guests, while heading for striking virgin waters packed with trophy brown, rainbow and brook trout, as well as silver and king salmon, and territories that provides dazzling biodiversity and scenery.

We have designed special outings for our non-fishing guests: sighting wide variety of dolphins and elusive giant whales in our specialized rigid inflatable boats, bird watching, spotting and identifying native and endemic flora and fauna throughout the wilderness. In fact, memorable experiences interacting with biodiversity, wild nature, glaciers, hot springs, geography and history are highlights of this one-on-a-lifetime experience. It is not by chance that Charles Darwin and Captain Fitz Roy wrote long notes regarding the beauty and uniqueness of this part of the world in their logs. Our guests will also have all our on board activities such as our daily wine tasting program, gourmet regional cuisine, Thalasotherapy and Spa, specialized lectures and more.
 
 
FISHINIG INFORMATION AT NOMADS OF THE SEAS

How many times have you thought of fishing in virgin and unexplored lakes and rivers? This is your chance to make that happen, and become one with some of the most amazing landscapes you will ever see in your lifespan.

Nomads has prepared a flyfishing adventure for all the unconditional lovers of fishing and nature who are willing to experience an unforgettable and wild journey.

  
Our one week program departs every Saturday, from the second fortnight of October thru April.
The Chilean Patagonia offers unique for our guests to make this dream come true. Imagine yourself sailing through the world's most beautiful fjords, rivers and lakes; and fishing for brown trout, brook trout, rainbows, salmon, steelhead and a few other species too. All of this in a region with the best fishing conditions in the entire world. This is a region where multiple streams, creeks, rivers, lagoons and lakes, and endless and unexplored fishing spots can be discovered; and where most trout and salmon have never seen an artificial fly. This is a plentiful area of blending glaciers, snowcapped peaks, summits and volcanoes of the southern Andes with luxuriant cold jungle forests, marvelous pure streams, creeks, rivers, lagoons and lakes among natural parks, reserves and monuments.
After being introduced in Chile in the late 19th century, salmonids found exceptional conditions to settle and reproduce over time in the grandeur of the infinite, pristine and fertile streams, rivers, lagoons and lakes of this sector of Chile. Nowadays, resident, coastal and anadromous varieties of Rainbow and Brown Trout, along with Brook Trout, attain abundance in these waters and a size that is difficult for their congeners in the northern hemisphere to beat. The same occurs with Silver and King Salmon and occasionally with Atlantic Salmon. The development of all these salmonids is not only confined to continental waters, but they also live in those estuaries, freshets and river mouths of infinite fjords, inlets and channels that make up this South Pacific Ocean. Some native species like the Robalo, Bonito and Sierra (endemic Barracuda type), which can offer large challenges for fly-fishing, add value to the infinite spectrum of possibilities in the area.

THE MOTHERSHIP AT NOMADS OF THE SEAS
 
In order to fulfil our mission and provide a flawless tour, we needed something that would make Nomads unique. And our MotherShip, called Atmosphere, helped us achieve this goal. Only on this cruiseship we can transport our guests in comfort and consistency.

Our robust and safe ship was the right alternative to carry out this incredible adventure and Chile the ideal environment to perform it. The Atmosphere has a steel hull, twin engines and twin propellers with variable pitch to be able to manoeuvre easily no matter the current or sea conditions. Also providing the ability to deploy the jet boats or the Bell 407 helicopter.

Our MotherShip is reliable and possess unique characteristics that provide comfort to our guests. Among them we must point out our spectacular cabins and a spa service that pampers the guests like no other.
