Jakob Campforts has sailed extensively in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions, gaining hands-on experience navigating some of the most remote, demanding, and spectacular waters on earth. From ice navigation and heavy-weather seamanship to expedition logistics and self-sufficient cruising, my work has been focused on operating safely and efficiently in high-latitude environments.

I offer my services as a professional skipper for polar expeditions, private voyages in Arctic and Antarctic waters. I also advise owners and project teams on the preparation of boats for high-latitude sailing, helping ensure vessels are capable, reliable, and properly equipped for extreme conditions.

My experience includes involvement in the follow-up and development of expedition sailboat construction projects, working closely with builders, designers, and owners to ensure that vessels meet the practical demands of polar exploration. This includes systems planning, structural considerations, equipment selection, and expedition readiness.

Whether you are preparing for your first polar voyage or developing a purpose-built expedition yacht, I can provide practical knowledge grounded in real experience at sea.
