With a crew of seasoned sailors, you’ll enjoy a relaxing cruise surrounded by breathtaking nature. A true relic of its era, few boats like this remain along Norway's coastline. Just the special sound of its engine ticking over has been known to cause floods of nostalgia in guests!
As you sail, look out for majestic Sea Eagles, fish for crabs, and listen to tales of Norway’s seafarers. A true highlight is passing by the well-known landmark, Kjerringskrevet, which has guided sailors safely through these waters for generations.

As you head back on the boat, you’ll get to taste some freshly caught crab – a great way to round off a nostalgic trip.
