Leaving for Chaiten on the main land is more tricky. One ferry leaves from Castro, the other from the town in the south-west. Only one ferry per week per port. Friday and Sunday, but I can't remember which day is which port. Check Navimag.cl - they run the ferry service.

I would be weary of the Island of Chiloe ferry that goes to the Southern part of Chile. I waited on that ferry for 6 days, before finding out that it was delayed 3 additional days. I backtracked and drove back North and into Argentina.
I would not count on that ferry. It is very expensive to do that route too. You are better off driving South through Argentina.
