The Ship

With her five cabins (four doubles and one quadruple), Milagro can accommodate up to 12 people. However since the quadruple cabin is (relatively) less spacious than the others, we prefer to restrict the capacity to 10 people for projects lasting more than a week.

Karukinka entrusts this ship exclusively to a professional crew consisting of two to three people qualified with a French Sailing License (Brevet d’Etat Voile) and through the French Merchant Navy (‘Capitaine 200 voile’ ‘mecanicien.ne’, ‘matelot’).

The ship is fully insulated (>10cm insulation) and equipped with central heating consisting of a powerful boiler and about ten radiators distributed throughout the cabins, the lounge, and the bathrooms. It’s always comfortable to live aboard!

Because sailing with Karukinka means supporting projects that have a real social impact for indigenous peoples in regions like insular Patagonia and enabling the realization of bold and ground breaking research projects conducted with them.

The Karukinka Association is fundamentally multidisciplinary and, to maintain its independence, self-funds the majority of its projects, only occasionally resorting to public subsidies.

We bring together real enthusiasts with artistic, scientific, and sports-related interests and skills.

Since its establishment in 2014, Karukinka has been exploring and studying historically significant places and furthering knowledge of those who preceded us: Yagán and Sámi peoples, explorers, scientists, etc.

Our ship offers the unique opportunity to explore places on a small scale whilst always respecting the inhabitants and heritage.

And finally, we are also open to new ideas and requests to leverage our team’s expertise and vessel to support your own projects, drawing from our experience of conducting scientific and artistic expeditions since 2013.
