Sailing trip in Norway
The homeland of Vikings attracts tourists with the authenticity and the severe, still, fascinating nature of Scandinavia. Here, the season is short but it could be interesting and memorable for yachtsmen.
The Barents Sea washes the country from the north, the North Sea — from the west, the Skagerrak Strait separates Norway from Denmark in the south. All waters are suitable for yachting during the season. The eastern and southern coasts are more popular among the skippers. Also, to the jurisdiction of Norway, the Svalbard archipelago and more than 50 thousand islands belong. It gives the opportunity to gain the unforgettable sailing experience.

The yacht service and yacht charter in Norway are available in the northern cities Harstad, Bodo, and Tromso. In the south, the boat rental in Stavanger, Bergen, and Oslo is open.
