Story and achievements

A route as long as a lifetime

Travely-Family did not begin as a brand, but with a family decision to set out around the world. Every ocean that followed added not a legend, but experience.

Key points

Lady Mary becomes home

The Klochkov family begins a long journey on a sailing yacht: oceans, children studying aboard and a life whose route is measured in years.

The first great circle

The Atlantic, Pacific, Oceania and months of self-sufficient sailing. The family becomes a true crew.

Point Nemo

Lady Mary passes through the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, the planet’s most remote point from land.

Cape Horn and Antarctica

An expedition through the Great Capes enters the Southern Ocean. The family crew reaches Antarctica and the South Shetland Islands.

Circumnavigation completed

The first Russian family circumnavigation through the Great Capes and Antarctica is completed: 30,078 nautical miles.

Back to Antarctica

Andrey works as an expedition schooner captain and Marina as a polar guide. Family experience becomes professional practice.

Science on screen

The film laboratory brings together researchers, filmmaking and Antarctica. Schoolchildren produce four popular-science films.

In numbers

Not records. Coordinates of experience.

Behind every figure are watches, repairs, weather, decisions and people beside us.
