Ideal private navigation to enjoy the Beagle Channel alone with your family or group of friends. The excursions are carried out with the “KAMS and“ TELIENKA ”yachts, twin boats of 15 meters in length, which due to their dimensions allow a maximum approach to the islands allowing preferential sightings. The maximum capacity per group is 26 passengers. During our tour we visit Isla Alicia, Isla de Pájaros and Isla de Lobos, where we make very close sightings of the fauna of the Beagle Channel. We know the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse built in 1919, a true emblem of the City of Ushuaia. At the end, we disembark at Bridges Island to walk a path of interpretation of flora and birds, telling the story of the Yámanas aborigines. Here are the largest anthropogenic Yámanas shells in the region. It also has a panoramic point from where we can observe the magnificence of the Beagle Channel with the City of Ushuaia in the distance.

    Great experience

    It was a great experience. we loved seeing the birds and Seawolves. Maria did a great job keeping us informed of the history of Ushauia. Drivers of the boat did a terrific job of navigating us around the islands with the animals. My only suggestion would be to have a microphone onboard. It was hard to hear what Maria was saying. Thank you for a wonderful excursion and a memorable experience.

    Beagle Channel Yacht Tour - so much fun

    Such a great time! Our guide was amazing, she was loads of fun, knowledgeable and spoke perfect Spanish and English. Saw loads of sea lions, birds and dolphins came and swam with the boat. Definitely do this tour if you’re in Ushuaia!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your experience and great review! We hope you enjoyed the tour. Greetings from the whole team!

    Excellent

    We hired this type of tour escaping the large masses of people who go in catamarans, we were no more than 20 people so it was a very quiet and comfortable excursion, the boat is small and so you can get closer to the sighting of sea lions and cormorants, then stop at bridges island for a brief hike with panoramic views, the guide and the sailors very correct and well educated. I highly recommend them.

    Response from the operator: Muchísimas gracias por tan linda reseña y puntuación. Esperamos que hayan vuelto con un hermoso recuerdo del fin del mundo. Saludos de todo el equipo! 😊

    Private yacht sailing on the Beagle Channel: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ushuaia.

    How much does Private yacht sailing on the Beagle Channel cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,430 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ushuaia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private yacht sailing on the Beagle Channel take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ushuaia is not rushed.

    Is Private yacht sailing on the Beagle Channel worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ushuaia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private yacht sailing on the Beagle Channel?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private yacht sailing on the Beagle Channel suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private yacht sailing on the Beagle Channel?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ushuaia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ushuaia and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private yacht sailing on the Beagle Channel start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ushuaia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ushuaia?

    +

Optional Train. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ushuaia?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ushuaia?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
