Expedition sailing involves navigating a boat or yacht to explore remote or less-traveled areas, often for research, adventure, or environmental purposes. This type of sailing can include long voyages to places like the Antarctic, Arctic, or uninhabited islands, where sailors may study wildlife, ecosystems, or climate change. Sailors participating in expedition sailing typically require specialized skills and equipment, including navigation tools, safety gear, and provisions for extended trips. Many expeditions are organized by scientific organizations or adventure companies, and they often emphasize sustainability and respect for the natural environment.
