Qilak has been a part of In The Same Boat’s sustainable fleet since 1. March 2024, and serves as our headquarter and showroom as well as doing the most extreme expeditions and large scale cleanups in the least available areas.

Qilak is a one-off expedition yacht specially built for expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctic oceans. It has all the features needed to stay off the grid for several months.

It is 20 meters long, 30 meters high, and it is fully insulated. There are 11 berths in 6 cabins available, comfortable accommodating 11 people, 3 crewmembers and 8 guests. There’s even a small sauna that can also be used to dry clothes.
