HISTORY
After 15 years of professional sailing, focused mainly on expeditions in the Arctic, we have taken the course that connects our two biggest passions: expedition sailing to documenatary film.
The dream came true when we met film director Victor Kossakovsky and his crew. Together we sailed in Greenland, chasing the biggest spectacles of Arctic nature, then across the North Atlantic riding down the winter storms. All that for filming "Aquarela" onboard the beautiful 100ft expedition schooner Polski Hak.

It was a life-changing experience.
Never before our sailing talents have contributed so much into the creation of something so beautiful. It became clearer than ever that a combination of expedition sailing and art was our favourite course to steer.

Today Arctic Yachts team works closely with natural history and documentary filmmakers providing expedition support that makes their shoots in remote areas of the Arctic safer and more efficient. We source the most suitable yachts, provide network, advice, local knowledge and plenty of experience. Artists can focus on the actual shoot, while we take care of the expedition, well being, safety, and make sure they are always at the right place at the right time!

The first edition of ESVBS is an independently produced pilot, explaining who we are, pointing the direction we want to go, and inviting others to support it.
We made it free for everyone to participate and attend it.
We created it in the middle of a pandemic and global recession, with closed borders and our humble resources, but most importantly with a lot of drive, joy, sweat and passion!
