We are always looking forward to greet the majestic whales who seek food in the fjords during the winter time. Humpback whales and Orcas come far into the fjords each year to hunt for herring. This is a very unique phenomenon to witness while sailing in a luxurious and safe atmosphere on board a catamaran.

The Arctic fjords are breathtaking, but with the presence of the whales, words can truly not describe how magical the experience is, and we have made it our passion to create an epic day out at sea for those wanting to witness wild whales swimming in the Arctic.

Our skippers and guides have great knowledge and a lot of experience to keep you safe and comfortable while watching whales in the wild. On this tour, you will be able to see the whales, have a go at one of our secret fishing spots, catch, prepare & taste your own catch all while sailing on a warm, comfortable yacht in the Arctic.

Here on the North side of the Arctic Circle, the mountains, the sky and the sea blur together to create a magical ambiance and incredible scenery one could only dream of.

While many marvel over the cozy candle lit streets & quaint coffee shops of Tromsø, what many explorers do not realize is the magic and mystery of Tromsø lies out at sea.

As you make your way down the snow filled harbor, our team will be waiting to welcome you on-board for fresh coffee and tea while your captain provides a tour & safety briefing before departure. As you get comfortable on one of our warm reindeer fells, the crew will cast off to cruise through Tromsø’s breathtaking fjord in ultimate comfort.

Tromsø is famously known for the Northern Lights and one of the most special ways to experience this natural phenomenon is from the water due to the lack of light pollution, and high saturation of colors that the lights have to offer.

Tromsø is famously known for their populous nature and natural beauty, especially the thriving marine wildlife. One of the best ways to experience this natural phenomenon is from the water as the fjords provide a magnificent day-cruise experience while sailing with a small, intimate group (12 persons maximum).

On this tour, your skipper will navigate your yacht to some of our secret fishing spots where an abundance of healthy fish swim deep below the surface. After a quick safety briefing, an introduction to the gear, your skipper will teach you about the types of fish you can catch and then you too can catch the fish of your life.

So far, we have a 100% success rate for catching fish during our tours. Your skipper will demonstrate how to prepare the fish for cooking, with some luck - you can enjoy your own catch for a delicious lunch. On this tour we will be fishing for Atlantic cod, Pollock and the one and only, Halibut.

The wildlife in the far North is one of the most spectacular sights in the world. Whales, Eagles, Seals, and sea birds flock here every winter. We always look forward to seeing the whales feed, and the eagles soar through the polar night.

The Arctic fjords are breathtaking, but with the presence of the whales, and other wildlife words can truly not describe how magical the experience is. We have made it our passion to create an epic day out at sea for those wanting to witness the Norwegian nature while out at sea.

Our team has put a lot of passion into creating a special Norwegian fish soup with a Pukka twist. We now want to share our favorite meal with you to share with your friends and family back at home.

During this cooking class, we will sail into the fjords while your personal skipper will anchor in a secluded bay and explain how to make our home-made fish soup from scratch, a Norwegian delicatessen. The group will work together to chop up the ingredients, learn how to fillet the fish and make a master-piece while at sea.

All of the fish is caught fresh the same day, and we try to source local ingredients when we can.

If you are visiting Tromsø, you have the chance to sail through the fjords, see the Northern Lights and go on a whale safari in one affordable package. In our effort to provide you with the absolutely best of Tromsø, we realised that an unforgettable evening with the northern lights, sleeping on a spacious, warm 72 foot sailing boat, Duen III, in a protected bay, and waking up to humpback whales and Orcas outside of your window had to be a part of your itinerary.

We believe the two most incredible activities you can do while in Tromsø is experience the Northern Lights and watch the whales hunt for fish in the fjords. These moments are absolutely amazing and in this unique overnight package we provide both, in addition to maybe the most exotic sleeping arrangements in the Arctic.

This tour leaves in the evening, and arrives back to Tromsø in the early afternoon after watching the northern lights, sleeping in a secluded bay, eating a homemade candlelit dinner and fresh breakfast.
