English Narrows: a voyage through Chile's tumultuous waters

Weigh anchor and explore the tumultuous waters of English Narrows, a narrow and spectacular passage located on Chile's southwest coast.

Known locally as Angostura Inglesa, this maze of islands and currents stretches for 18 kilometres, connecting Isla Moat to Paso del Indio.

Adventurous captains, prepare yourselves for a thrilling challenge! With a width of barely 180 metres, English Narrows puts navigation skills to the test, even for the most experienced sailors.

Navigate between the islands and the Chilean mainland on an eight-mile course, where wild nature reigns supreme. Admire the grand landscapes and watch for the marine wildlife that inhabits these waters.

If weather conditions are favourable, exercise caution during spring tides. The current can then reach six knots and the wind can be unpredictable.

Whether you are a seasoned sailor or a novice seeking adventure, English Narrows promises an unforgettable experience.

A wild and pristine sanctuary

As you navigate English Narrows, let yourself be transported by Chile's wild beauty. Discover the sheer cliffs rising over 200 metres high and the deep waters of the passage that create an exceptional environment. Admire the dense vegetation and the variety of wildlife. Expect to encounter diving petrels, steamer ducks, dolphins and, more rarely, whales.
