Getting to the mountain summit with ocean views on all sides is an incredible feeling.
We have extensive experience tailoring tours for all ability levels.
Enjoy your own classic yacht cruising above the Arctic Circle, powder hunting with local guides, showing you their secret skiing spots.
Laying at anchor, alone in a fjord, ski-touring up to the an island, skiing down the other side to the sea to be picked up by the boat with a cold beer in hand.
Doesn’t get any better than this!
It is quite incredible to have your own chef, crew, guides and yacht and to sail into the fjords where you lie at anchor surrounded
by the next day’s touring opportunities.
Get up at sunrise and enjoy the first coffee out on the deck. Watch a couple of small fishing boats slowly pass by, embrace the weather
and prepare to be on your way.
We’ll give you the finest summit experience in the north!
You charter the entire yacht for your company, your group of friends or family and we create the trip around your wishes.
We’ll organise magical days with our certified guides, fully tailored to your requirements.
All sailings are private charter which means that you rent the entire ship with room for a maximum of 8 or 12 guests, depending on the vessel.
Onboard, you will help decide the days itinerary in discussions with guides. There’s a high level of flexibility to go to islands and mountain areas
that are not accessible to anyone other than those coming by sea.
Enjoy the tranquillity of being alone in these remote areas of incredible, northern Norwegian nature!
Being onboard is much more than a raw nature experience with fantastic ski touring.
It is the freedom to choose, to be with those you want to spend quality time with while adventuring to some of the most beautiful places in the north.
This is the perfect private social arena where you can share your experiences with your loved ones, friends or colleagues.
Our vessels are a fantastic floating base for adventures, whether you want to enjoy yourself on the deck watch the coast go by maybe spot the famous fishing village of Gryllefjord, you could also relax in the lounge, maybe hop in the Jacuzzi or try your luck with one of the available fishing rods on board.
Hope you get to see the Northern Lights or a whale…

Guides
One or two certified local area expert mountain guide and one WSA Swiss certified Ski touring guide
They will facilitate tours for all levels of ability – from beginner to highly skilled summit tour enthusiasts.
You’re in safe hands with our certified guides.
The guides are always available for any questions you may have, and the ship’s boat crew are attentive and helpful.
Certified mountain guides are qualified to guide and lead in challenging mountain terrain and other aspects of active outdoor life.
They are therefore experts in: climbing, glaciers, mountain skiing, steep skiing and avalanche assessment.
Small groups – huge adventures
Safety always comes first, and we are committed to promoting nature-friendly and safe adventures in line with solid, traditional Norwegian values.
Whatever type of group, whether you are a beginner or vastly experienced, you will get the same high level of care and attention.
The guides are keen to share their knowledge and expertise about snow conditions, mountains and routes with the guests along the way and are happy to discuss their evaluations.
With certified guides controlling the tour risk assessment, it will be easier for our guests to enjoy views, scenery and the freeriding in the North.
Safety
Your safety always comes first, and our tours are organised based on group ability.
With two or three guides, we have the flexibility to split into two different groups.
Our activities are safety and quality controlled. We work to provide safe, satisfying and enriching experiences for all guests, regardless of gender, race, disability or other factors.
Some of our guests have concerns about security and safety factors; avalanche risk, danger in steep terrain, professionalism of the guides, general risk assessment of the trips and whether they can expect to be seasick. Below you will find information about these aspects of the trip.
Safety first. Always.
Our guides on board are certified, with a great deal of experience. They are all professionals who guide hundreds of tours throughout the year, and have mastered the art in tailoring tours to suit different levels; from beginners to high level skiers.
Our goal is for you to have a wonderful ski-tour experience, with magnificent views and spectacular skiing from mountain to shoreline.
Mountains and routes are always chosen based on the current weather, snow and wind conditions, along with the guests’ skiing ability and physical fitness level.
Sea sickness
If you have concerns about being seasick, we can reassure you that we sail close to land and rarely in open sea areas for most of the voyage. In our experience guest seasickness has been limited to being very minimal, if at all. If any of our guests should still experience discomfort, we always have sea sickness tablets available on board.
Avalanche risks and safety
Avalanche danger in mountains is always present.
The multiple snow&weather conditions that make areas prone to avalanches
are not fully comprehended as it is not a science.
We have years of experience at recognizing areas and snow conditions that are a high avalanche hazard to avoid them.
On the first day we will make sure that everyone has the adequate gear and check that everyone knows how to use it.
We will provide you with a tutorial on this topic, if we feel this is necessary or if you wish.
Thought you must accept all the risks that come with skiing remote and uncontrolled areas. The correct mountain attitude is of essence.
