At first glance, the Caribbean and the Arctic could not feel more different. One is defined by warm trade winds and long days shaped by sun and sea. The other is a realm of ice and dramatic light. Yet with EYOS, both worlds can be explored aboard a single yacht. Solace is designed to move seamlessly between them, offering rare continuity across two of the planet’s most compelling environments.

Your Caribbean Base
In the Caribbean, Solace is an invitation to slow exploration, with charter opportunities available during the 2026 winter season. Rather than hopping between marinas and crowded anchorages, the yacht becomes a private retreat, positioned close to remote islands and quieter waters.
This season includes the chance to explore areas such as the Bahamas Out Islands and the Dominican Republic, with itineraries that can align with natural highlights like the humpback whale migration at Silver Bank. Your floating base camp takes you deep into one of the world’s most extraordinary whale habitats, where mornings and afternoons are spent launching into the water by tender in search of unforgettable encounters with North Atlantic humpback whales—both above and below the surface.
Guests might begin with snorkeling over vibrant reefs, paddleboarding along sheltered coves, or exploring small islands rarely visited by larger yachts. Afternoons are spent cruising between anchorages, the yacht’s open deck spaces and shaded lounges offering constant connection to the sea. Evenings settle into warm air and calm water, with refined dining and the soft rhythm of the anchorage setting the tone.
The experience is relaxed but intentional, guided by EYOS’ knowledge of the region and an ability to unlock places beyond the usual routes.

A Shift in Latitude, Not Philosophy
As Solace heads north for the 2026 Arctic summer season, the setting changes dramatically, but the approach remains the same. Charter opportunities are available in regions such as Svalbard and Greenland, where the yacht becomes a platform for discovery at the edge of the map.
Fjords replace palm-lined bays. Icebergs drift where coral heads once sat below the surface. The sense of scale expands, and so does the silence. Operating in high-latitude environments, Solace allows guests to explore deep into polar landscapes while maintaining a high degree of comfort and safety.
Zodiac excursions bring you close to glaciers and wildlife. Guided hikes reveal tundra and elevated viewpoints. Conditions dictate the rhythm of each day, and flexibility is essential.

Built for Range and Resistence
What makes this dual-world capability possible is Solace herself. Designed for long-range cruising and expedition-style operations, the yacht is equally comfortable in warm-water anchorages and cold, remote seas. Advanced stabilization, robust systems, and thoughtful deck layouts ensure comfort underway and confidence when conditions shift.
Completing her expedition profile is a semi-custom 12M Windy tender designed by Espen Øino, Solacer (pictured above), capable of extended off-yacht exploration and landfall access in remote regions.
Onboard spaces are warm and understated, offering refuge after active days ashore. There is room to gather, room to retreat, and room to reflect on where the day has taken you. This balance is what allows Solace to feel at home in such contrasting environments.

Wildlife Reimagined
Wildlife encounters aboard Solace span climates and continents. In the Caribbean, that may mean sea turtles, dolphins, or humpback whales during seasonal migrations. In the Arctic, attention shifts to seabirds, seals, walrus, and the possibility of polar bears moving along the shoreline.
With EYOS guiding each encounter, wildlife experiences are approached with patience and respect, shaped by timing, distance, and a deep understanding of local ecosystems.
-
The EYOS Thread
What ultimately connects the Caribbean and the Arctic is not geography, but execution. EYOS Expeditions brings the same philosophy to both regions: personalized itineraries, conservative decision-making, and a commitment to operating responsibly in sensitive environments.
Each voyage aboard Solace is tailored to the season and the interests of the group, whether that means leisurely island exploration or focused polar discovery. The yacht provides the continuity, while the destinations deliver contrast.

One Yacht, Endless Possibility
Exploring two vastly different worlds aboard Solace underscores what is possible when design, experience, and intent align. From warm Caribbean waters to the high latitudes of the Arctic, the journey is unified by access, comfort, and thoughtful exploration. For those drawn to contrast and continuity in equal measure, this is not a choice between destinations. It is an invitation to experience both without compromise.
