Last November, the Chiloé archipelago welcomed Lagoon owners for a three-day Escapade in the heart of Chilean Patagonia — where breathtaking landscapes, local culture and shared sailing came together.

From 21 to 23 November 2025, the Lagoon fleet explored one of South America's most singular territories: the islands of Chiloé, in southern Chile.
In these waters shaped by Pacific tides and winds, crews sailed between lush islands, colourful villages and sheltered bays, alternating coastal passages with landfalls ashore.
The first leg took the catamarans to Cheniao Island, in the heart of the Chauques. The boats gathered at anchor before a convivial evening in a typically Chilotan setting, sharing local specialities and regional wines. The following day, participants explored the village and its natural surroundings.
A guided tour of the Cheniao wetland sanctuary offered the chance to observe the many migratory bird species that stop over in the archipelago. Depending on conditions, some crews also spotted dolphins swimming offshore.
The fleet then set course for Añihue and Tenaún, gliding past wooded hills, houses on stilts and timber churches listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites — a landscape that speaks to Chiloé's singular identity, shaped as much by its people as by the sea.
Anchored in front of the bay, a tasting session gave crews a chance to breathe, connect and let the scenery sink in.
The Escapade drew to a close in Quemchi, with a last shared breakfast at anchor before each crew set off towards their own horizons. The kind of morning that lingers, where departures feel reluctant.
Sailing in Patagonia means embracing the intensity of the elements — and coming back changed. This Escapade offered far more than an itinerary: a collective immersion in an exceptional natural environment, and a new shared chapter for Lagoon owners.
