Arctic and Nordic
sailing trips

   You travel on a specially built Saxe 55 expedition steel boat, constructed with steel reinforcement and double insulation to withstand ice and demanding conditions. The boat has previously explored Greenland and Svalbard, and it has been hired to make nature films for the BBC and National Geographic.

   Our tours focus on escaping the stress, the hustle and bustle, and the A4 life. We seek to anchor as much as possible and minimize time in ports, even though they can be cramped and noisy. Of course, we take breaks where necessary.

   We also hope that you can learn something new during the trip, whether it’s sailing, navigation, knots, fishing, gutting or appreciating nature and the challenges it offers.

   The boat has 5 cabins, each with a double bed and either a small bunk bed or a bunk bed. It comfortably accommodates 8 guests, skipper + 1 crew. There are 2 bathrooms and 1 shower room on board.

   When sailing in northern waters, a warm boat is always welcome! Even on summer evenings it can get chilly in Norway and Northern Europe in general. On the boat, we always ensure good opportunities to stay warm indoors. If you feel a little chilly during the voyage, you can retreat to our wheelhouse, which provides a 360-degree view of everything that’s happening – something that few other sailboats can offer.

   We encourage you to rediscover your curious and intimate self, which may have been lost in the digital and busy world. Likewise, we look forward to learning from your stories, thoughts and experiences. Explore Lofoten, the Helgeland coast, Shetland, the Trøndelag coast and the Orkney Islands with us. Or you can create your own sailing trip.
