Go to and from Lofoten by sailboat

Travel like a local!

How to get to Lofoten? By sailboat

You may have heard of the Lofoten islands? Almost the whole world now has – and with good reason. This mountainous range of islands stretching far out into the Norwegian Sea is a fantastic area. On board with us on this trip you will get a salty taste of the Lofoten islands by sailboat. Not to forget that sailing is the original and most rewarding way to reach the Lofoten islands from mainland Norway! 

Travel like a local

With our sailboat we navigate out to the Lofoten islands like locals and travellers have done for thousands of years. When we cross over the West fjord and the Lofoten mountains rise up and fill out the horizon, you will understand! By boat, off the beaten track of all road based travelling.
