Deep Fjords with 1000m vertical cliffs. Blue glaciers and drinkable ice cold water from the glacier river. Thousands of big and small islands protecting you against ocean waves and winds. Good harbors and anchorages always at hand. Not a day without seeing several classic wooden boats of different sizes.

This is only some of the things you will experience when you sail the magnificent coast of Norway. The coast of Norway is the Coast of Differences!

The sea to the north of Norway is special because of the midnight sun during the summer season and the thousands of majestic islands. "Lofoten" and the "Helgeland" coastline are considered as "the pearls". The north of Norway is the main area for the great Norwegian fishing industry. Fishing has kept people there alive for thousands of years, and in spite of the fact that there are less fish now than in the old days, it will be difficult not to get a bite if you decide to try fishing yourself. Whales, seals and fishing eagles are also common sights when you are sailing the northern coast of Norway.

The western coast of Norway is known for its deep fjords with 1000-meter cliffs hanging out over the water and the blue ice of the glaciers. In some places the locals can arrange horsecabs to bring you closer to the ice. A lot of the glacier branches have a lake of melting water beneath, and as well as walking around the lake, it is also possible to rent a rowing boat.


The south coast may be considered as an area of "peace and harmony". This is where the Norwegians travel to soak up the sun and for reasonable water temperatures when the weather is bad in the rest of the country. The coastline is protected from ocean winds and waves by thousands of small, low lying islands. The rocks were scrubbed and rounded by the ice 10,000 years ago. In spite of the relaxing scenery and the calm "everything is ok" attitude of the locals, the South coast of Norway can be a great challenge. The thousands of rocks, rocks awash and reefs make it a perfect place for sailing and navigational training, and it is almost completely safe because of the very good system of markers and buoys. This area may be the perfect place for families with children. All the small islands, hidden harbors and small coves invite you to do plenty of exploring, and the huge restored German fortresses from World War II are a guaranteed to be a hit among both young and older children.
