The yacht slips away from Ushuaia’s quay under a sky that alternates between steel and sun, the Beagle Channel daring travelers with an ever-changing horizon. Passengers stand at the rail as wind and salt spray draw their attention to rocky islets where cormorants roost and sea lions claim ledges; the captain eases the boat toward a small pier for a short guided walk to a panoramic point that frames the town and the serrated mountain range beyond.
