Why? Well after spending 13 years exploring the world's most remote and best spots to kite, surf, and SUP, we feel the Pacific is simply the best for a number of reasons. Firstly, it's massive. The largest swells in the world and the most reliable winds have the greatest fetch on the planet there. So conditions for kiting and surfing are just more reliable there than anywhere else on Earth. Second, logistically the Pacific is very challenging. Distances between major ports are vast, airports are minimal, services nearly non-existent. So while this makes it more difficult for us to operate there, it also keeps the punters where they belong- in the Caribbean and in the Med. We've gone many months at a time WITHOUT SEEING ANOTHER BOAT in the Pacific (TRUE!). Lastly, the region is politically stable and piracy doesn't exist. So yes, it's hard to get to, yes it's hard to access, yes it requires serious planning and logistics- but trust us, it's worth it. And this is our specialty. Details on the first two years of the expedition will be live shortly. In the meantime, enjoy a slideshow of our last 5 years to get you psyched!

This small island nation off the west coast of Africa boasts some of the best waves and most consistent wind of any tropical location on Earth. We spent over 4 months there in 2011 on The Best Odyssey, and it is no accident that we are returning here first!
Some of the world's finest waves get really pumping in the winter and the winds lock in at a consistent and steady 20 knots. Glorious anchorages, heavenly women, great nightlife and some of the best wave kiting in the world.
The unspoiled terrain in the Chilean archipelago and Patagonia is both stunningly distinctive and rarely sailed. It's a land of windswept crags and buttresses, calving glaciers, fathomless lakes, and consistent left-hand point breaks. The Chilean archipelago is vast and remote. Cold water, big big big waves, and all of it right off our swimstep.
An island nation as large as Europe with hundreds of post-card pretty isles, each intriguingly more magnificent than the last. Reef sharks, serious surf, black pearls and translucent lagoons are just a few of the gems awaiting further exploration. We return to this vast archipelago for the 3rd time on the Ocean Odyssey for very good reason, very few places on Earth compare.
