About Icebird
The Yacht
Icebird is a highly specified aluminium Van de Stadt 61 custom built by the Trintella Shipyard in the Netherlands for high latitude conditions and ice. She is an extremely strong, heavy-duty expedition yacht that will carry her crew in comfort, safety, and speed, worldwide from the Arctic Ocean to the tropic islands of the South Pacific and on to Antarctica. The enclosed pilothouse provides comprehensive navigation, pilotage, and monitoring systems and keeps the sailor in warm dry comfort. With spectacular all round vision, her crew get to enjoy living in a “Room with a View”.

Location
Wildlife
In Antarctica wildlife encounters are incomparable to anything else on earth. Wherever we travel we will encounter numerous penguin species, whales, albatross, seals and so much more. Despite the ice, the cold southern ocean is a thriving ecosystem abundant with wildlife at every glance. By sailing boat and kayak we are travelling with minimum disturbance allowing us to enjoy their presence in the full glory of their natural habitat.
