Making the most of Cape Horn
Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.

Arriving at the port
Cape Horn is viewed on a sail-by rather than visited ashore.
A Cape Horn sailing reaches the precise meeting point of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Water-current patterns can produce rocky rough waves at some times of year and unexpectedly calm seas at others.
Look out for marine mammals and wildlife, including sea lions, penguins and whales.
