Perfect for exploring by luxury superyacht, with many popular hiking trails and popular for its freshwater diving, Norway is the perfect escape for those who love the outdoors.

Fjord with a View

Arrive at Ålesund Vigra airport, where your helicopter will be waiting to take you to your superyacht in Geiranger, anchored in the fjord. Settle in onboard and enjoy amazing views of the deep fjord and steep mountains. Enjoy your first meal onboard your motor or sailing boat prepared by your private chef.

Hiking in the Fjords

Enjoy breakfast onboard your superyacht and meet your guide for a beautiful hike, ending up at Me Åkneset mountain farm with beautiful views in stunning surroundings. Your guide will arrange a picnic lunch at the farm. In the afternoon, visit Geirangerfjord, one of UNESCO’s world heritage sites and one of the most beautiful fjords in Norway. Travel among beautiful waterfalls and historical mountain farms surrounded by steep mountains rising from the deep fjord. Fjord village Geiranger is a popular stop. Here you will find charming boutiques, the Waterfall Walk and The Norwegian Fjord Museum.

Norangsdalen and Hjorundfjord

Explore beautiful scenery by bike and kayak.

Explore what many believe to be the most beautiful valley in the Norway fjords with your motor or sailing boat.

After lunch, your guide will take you kayaking in the fjord of Norangsfjord, spotting eagles and other wildlife.

The Kingdom of Norway (Norwegian Kongeriket Norge). This country,  occupies the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern  Europe. Its name originates from the Old Norse word Nor?rvegr – “way to  north." Norway is a great sailing destination, surrounded by three seas:  the Barents Sea to the northeast, the Norwegian – to the West and  Northen Sea – to the south-west it has a lot to offer to most  experienced sailors. Norway has a long and narrow territory with 30%  covered by forests, many rivers and lakes. More than half of the  country's territory is occupied by mountains.

Only Norway yacht charter vacation can offer a unique blend of  gorgeous scenery, diverse wildlife and spectacular Nothern Lighst  watching. Explore drammatic northern nature and spectacular landscapes  form the comfort of your yacht or catamaran.

General description: The kingdom of Norway, one of the largest  countries in Europe, spreads its borders along the North Sea, the  Norwegian Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Norway yacht charter is an ideal way  to explore magnificent fjords, which are unique geological formations  stretching deep into surrounding mountains, indenting its rugged  coastline, present the most spectacular features. Norway is also the  home of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Places of interest:

The capital, Oslo, is a vibrant city centered round a harbor and  guarded by the 14-th century castle. The center of Oslo is home to the  Royal Palace, Viking Ship Museum, a lot of parks and galleries, as well  as other public institutions. Rent a boat in Norway and discover the  area close to Oslo, that is well built-up, with bustling harbors,  guarded by fortresses as early as 1643. But further south the scenery is  like post cards depicting dramatic towns and serene villages with  quaint clapboard houses and boats galore.

Bareboat charter in Oslofjorden area will bring you to the oldest  settlements dated back to Stone and Bronze Ages. Hanko is one of the  islands in this area. Its harbor town has the oldest naval museum in the  world, established in 1853. Although it sits on a bare rock, facing the  fjord, its sheltered eastern side is well forested, providing a  much-favored harbor and anchorage. The Norwegian Yachting Association  was founded here in 1882. Since then the island has been a venue for  national regattas, sailing races and world championship events. Norway  yacht charter in July will give you a chance to see most popular Hanko  Regatta that collects over 200 boats.

Southern Norway bareboat charter

The southern coast ( Oslo and Bergen ),  lined with silver-sand beaches set against a backdrop of high mountain  plateau, and white-painted houses in fish-farming villages, is known as  the sunny side of Norway and summer paradise for holiday-makers. Renting  a boat here you will find numerous harbors with all necessary  amenities.

Western Norway yacht charter

The long lacy western coastline borders the North Sea. This part of the  country is a true land of fjords, waterfalls, glaciers and secluded  beaches. Bergen is the second biggest town in Norway and offers number  of yachts for charter. Back in 10170 Bergen was the largest town in the  country and the capital of a region that included Iceland, Greenland and  parts of Scotland. Even after Oslo became capital of Norway in 1299,  Bergen continued to grow as a trading center, especially for the exports  of dried fish. Now it is a true center of shipping. Bergen is a World  Heritage City and the official residence of the king of Norway.

Northern Norway

Northern Norway ( Tromso and Lofoten )  has been called as "the land of excitement" or "the land of the high  flames". These expressions capture the essence of it - the shimmering  Northern Lights of winter and the midnight sun that shines day and night  in summer. With bareboat charter, you will be able to explore its  unspoiled coast that consists of a multitude of islands, fjords,  snow-clad peaks and glaciers. The northernmost point in Norway, Nordkapp  (the North Cape), is a place of pilgrimage for all-time traveler. Sheer  1,014-ft (309-m) high perpendicular cliffs form this most amazing  landmark as Europe's most northerly point.

Rent a boat in Eastern Norway

The route between Tonsberg and Tjome, known as World's End, is only  19 miles (30 km) but plenty of time needed to explore this stunning  archipelago. There are impressive coves, narrow sounds, old skipper's  houses and boathouses, also a string of inviting holiday resorts.  Bridges connecting the larger islands and the sea is never far away for a  refreshing swim. Mountains, valleys and lakes dominate this incredible  landscape. It has a special appeal for rock climbers and hikers: from  the easy alpine pastures in Alvdal to demanding peaks in the national  parks.

Festivities. There are four defined seasons in Norway and "every  season has its charm". And Norway finds its enjoyment in each of them by  creating a number of festivals: snow and ice sculpture tournament, ski-  kite event, white-water canoe racing, dog-sledding, boat festivals -  fairs and games all the way along the coast.

Although sometimes wind or cold, rain or snow, can bring those  pleasures indoors (Jazz, folklore and dance festivals, film premieres  and art exhibitions), but nothing can spoil high spirit, because  festivals are important part of the nation's cultural life.

While on the yacht charter in Norway do not miss its vibrant cuisine  rich in fresh seafood (smoked, pickled or dried fish including whale  meat and seal) and wild game (reindeer, elk, pheasant, etc.). Although  over the years the local restaurants have become incredibly diverse,  including exotic international meals in the menu, Norwegian specialties,  such as lamb and cabbage stew or reindeer medallions or marinade of  rabbit, cannot be missed. Other traditional favorites include cured  smoked sausage and pheasant breast served with mushroom sauce. One  should not forget Norwegian most famous cheeses, best served on Ryvita  crisps. And for desert try fruits and especially berries (gooseberries  or black- and red currants).

Climate in Norway

Much of the country is habitable due to the warming effects of the  Gulf Stream. It comfortably creates mild winters and cool summers on the  west coast. The south and west of the country have the highest average  temperature 72F (22C) in Oslo in July. Norway is a vast country with  wide variations in its geographical and climate conditions. Both at sea  and in the mountains the wind and weather can change rapidly, thus it is  advisable to consult local people with knowledge of the sea before  setting forth into unknown waters.

Magnificent scenery combined with the wide range of outdoor  activities (whale and seal safaris; cave walking; dog-sledging, mountain  climbing, etc.) - that what makes Norway so appealing to adventurous  travelers. Norway has enormously long coastline interspersed with fjords  and islands, making boating a pure haven. And the most rewarding way to  explore the remote and enticing parts of this unique country is  definitely by sailing. The western coastline provides the most  convenient and safe mooring for the boats. Although anchorage is  free-of-charge in Norway, there are certain (and sometimes complicated)  specifics about mooring and berths. That's why it is better to let  experts deal with it. No matter how well-organized your sailing event  looks like, it is always wise and safe to consult and present your  vacation dream to professionals and let "12 Knots" do what they are good  at.

Summer is also an excellent time to visit, when you’ll enjoy sun-soaked, blissfully long days ideal for cruising the fjords and enjoying a myriad of outdoor pursuits. To view the Northern Lights, head to Norway in September, when the dark nights are ideal for seeing this superb natural phenomen, and the weather is not too cold.

Can I see the Northern Lights in Norway?

Yes, it’s possible to view the Northern Lights in Norway, also called the Aurora Borealis. The best time to see the Northern Lights is during Spring (March/April) and Fall (September/October), although it is possible to see aurora activity during November, December, January, and February when Mother Nature puts on a spectacular light show.

Wander through its cities, and you’ll find a warm, welcoming people, cobblestone streets, delicious restaurants, and a wealth of bars. The real charm of Norway, however, is its familiar vibes.

From iconic fjords and glaciers to its towering mountain peaks and forested plains, there is nowhere in the world quite like Norway. And to make sure you check off all the things on your Scandinavian bucket list, when planning your next yacht charter in Norway, make sure you pick the time of year that works best with your itinerary.

Spring Spring in Norway is just as beautiful as the summer — except for the fact that the temperatures are much colder. That said, late spring is a good time to sail through Norway. After a cold Scandinavian winter, spring in Norway means all the streams, brooks, rivers and waterfalls flow freely with the snowmelt, and the country’s vast population of wildlife come out of hiding and start roaming through the forests. This is also the time of year when the trees and flowers start blossoming again, so the scenery you’ll sail past will be nothing short of stunning.

Summer This is definitely the most popular time of year yacht charters in Norway to sail through the fjords, and that’s only because the weather is absolutely perfect. During the day, the temperatures will be warm and sunny, and there will be so much to see — from glaciers and forests, to animals, beautiful landscapes, and if you go far enough north, the “land of the midnight sun,” where the sun never sets.

Fall Early fall is a great time for a Norway yacht charter. During this time of year, the trees will just start to lose their leaves and turn multiple shades of red, orange and gold. You won’t see as many yachts around this time of year, which has its own merits; you get beautiful Norway all to yourself.

Why is Yachting in Norway so Spectacular?

Norway is filled with dramatic landscapes

From seemingly impossible fjords and vast green space to glaciers, ice fields, mountains, and rocky coasts, Norway yacht charters are nothing short of natural wonders. Because of its diverse landforms, its beauty rivals some of the world’s most raved-about travel destinations. Adding to its intrigue, these Arctic landscapes are just a backdrop for Norway’s ever-growing population of wildlife: polar bears, reindeer, musk oxen, and schools of salmon, to name a few.

The fjords alone are reason enough to visit

Who doesn’t want to see the fjords of Norway? Flanked by steep cliffs, mountains, and glaciers, the fjords are naturally beautiful; a result of their narrow, steep-sided crystalline rock walls that stretch from 1,640 feet below sea level to 4,593 feet above it. Some of Norway’s fjords have been dubbed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The sun always rises

In northern Norway, above the Arctic Circle, you can see the sun 24 hours a day. In the summer, “sunrise” is at midnight, leaving plenty of time for sailing, climbing, and exploring.

It’s one of the best spots to see the Northern Lights

Best spotted in autumn and winter, the Northern Lights are a sight to be seen in northern Norway. Attracting travelers from around the world, these cloud-like lights can only be seen at night. The Northern Lights come in shades of green, pink and violet, and look like a light show dancing across the evening sky.

In Norway, adventure is encouraged

For Norwegians especially, nature is a part of life — one they have a passion for exploring. As a result, Norway has become one of the world’s top adventure tourism destinations. Depending on the seasons, travelers and locals alike can be found hiking, cycling, white-water rafting, dog-sledding, skiing, snowmobiling, sailing and more. They do this for good reason; Norway’s most beautiful assets are its stunning landscapes.

Charter guide

Home to some of the best scenery to be found the world over, Norway treats her visitors to truly awe-inspiring views as they make their passage through her coastlines and fjords. Flanked by steep, dramatic mountains, the mainland also serves as a source of endless inspiration.

With an island count comfortably in the tens of thousands, and a distinctly vibrant city life, Norway presents a wealth of opportunities when it comes to compiling a uniquely memorable charter itinerary. Indeed, as a firmly established yachting hub with a centuries-old marine tradition, Norway offers visitors the chance to enjoy the most sublime sights of Scandinavia both when underway and at anchor. A favoured destination amongst expedition yachts, Norway also benefits from a number of quiet bays which offer charterers the opportunity to vacation in total peace.

Providing something of a bustling alternative to the rolling rural landscapes surrounding the fjords, the city of Bergen is defined by the cosmopolitan vibe which pervades its historic streets. Located on the west coast of Norway, the city is populated by a number of boutique stores and restaurants as well as a number of quaint buildings preserved as part of a World Heritage Site. Due to being one of the smallest cities in Europe, visitors are able to easily take in Bergen’s various charms in a relatively short period of time.

Getting out of Bergen and back into the iconic fjords is nicely straightforward, and it is here that the sheer tranquility of Norway can be felt. With over fifteen thousand miles of coastline being inhabited by less than five million, visitors are afforded a vast amount of space to enjoy their company and surroundings in a totally uninterrupted fashion. Expertly maintained, the Geiranger and Nærøy fjords are UNESCO-protected and boast an assortment of cascading waterfalls, mountain peaks, and even glaciers.

Norway's most pristine cruising area is Lofoten, where rugged pinnacles protrude from the sea. The most visited fjords are Vestlandet, which in cases a long stretch of the Norwegian coastline. The landscape here will inspire the stereotypical images of Norway. Imagine yourself here, cruising through the incredible peaks, on your own yacht charter.

We are back from our arctic adventure and had a wonderful time. Everything went perfectly: the boat was excellent, the captain and crew were positive and helpful beyond our expectations, Martin was a great guide, and the sun was shining almost every day. We saw all of the wildlife we expected, including the most unique narwhale sighting imaginable. We were so impressed that we are considering a trip to Antarctic in December M.P chartered HANSE EXPLORER in Norway and Svalbard Archipelago in August.

The ultimate guide to a Luxury Yacht Charter in Norway

Destinations  >  Regions  >  Northern Europe > Norway

Location spotlight: Luxury Yacht Charter in Norway

The Norwegian Fjords showcase the most dramatic results of the ice age, with some of the world’s deepest fjords and glaciers carved high into these mountains. The best way to experience this region is with a Norwegian yacht charter – giving you the ability to navigate deep into the heart of the country. The longest Norwegian fjord stretches 205 kilometres inland, and two others are UNESCO World Heritage natural sites.

YACHTZOO is proud to have worked with local experts from PELORUS, to unearth the hidden secrets in and around Norway’s fjords, where breathtaking scenery and some of the most striking views on the planet can be found around every corner.

Highlights of a yacht charter in Norway

Aside from soaking up the scenery from below, why not take to the skies paragliding from the mountains down to the shore, or hike to waterfalls and enjoy luxury lunches in deserted huts known only to your guides?

Kayak up the fjords before meeting your specialist guide who will take you trekking over this region’s glaciers. With snowshoes on, ascend the picturesque slopes and be greeted by one-of-a-kind vistas before rock climbing and bouldering across, all with your safety as paramount. You can also take advantage of the altitude and go summer skiing in alpine snows.

E-bike the Atlantic highway whilst your luxury vessel cruises on the horizon or try your hand at white water rafting in hidden locations before being escorted back into the arms of luxury.

Go fishing for cod and halibut on a specially chartered local vessel before bringing your catch to a private island where your chef will create a luscious meal. Afterwards, why not visit the beautiful Runde Island with a naturalist, to visit the roosts of over 200 species of seabirds, including Puffin Gannets and Cormorants?

Rappel and abseil from overhanging cliffs before leaping into the water. Get kitted up and enjoy the world-class cold water diving available – you will find rich wildlife, exciting terrain and a gratifying number of WW2 wrecks. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the waters of Norway are comparable to the temperatures found further South. Whatever the season, you can get up close and personal with the sea life, snorkelling with seals and exploring the coral reefs and shoals of fish, right off the deck of your charter yacht

The food and art scene in Norway is booming, aside from the many wonderful restaurants. YACHTZOO and PELORUS can organise personal guided tours of cities, visiting illegal street art made by world famous names or trying traditional foods accompanied by local Akavit, beer or cider – the breweries of which can be visited during your trip.

YACHTZOO also offers family friendly yachts for charter around Norway. If cruising with your family, you can investigate the lives of the Vikings and learn what village life was like for the legendary explorers, learn how to make a traditional wooden longboat or for the science-minded, try out being an archaeologist for a day with experts to guide you in the techniques needed to unearth artefacts from history.

When Is the best time to rent a yacht in Norway ?

The best time to rent a yacht in Norway would be May to September, when charterers can expect warmer temperatures, midnight sun and the most stable weather.

Must-see towns and Fjords of Norway

Whether your YACHTZOO charter takes you North to South or vice versa, you will experience the beauty of the longest and deepest fjord in Norway, the Sognefjord, stretching 205km from the coast to the mighty Jostedalsbreen Glacier, take a side trip into the world-famous Naerøyfjord, now included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Stare up at the mountains in Nordfjord, a few thousand meters straight up from the water, interrupted only by spectacular waterfalls. The innermost part of this region also contains Europe’s deepest lake, Hornindalsvatnet.

Hardangerfjord

Hardangerfjord offers spectacular nature and can easily occupy an entire charter alone. At 179km long, the third longest fjord in the world is home to some of the most amazing hikes and views in the area.

The multicoloured city of Bergen demands a night or two in harbour where you can roam through living history, the Hanseatic wooden buildings of Bergen are UNESCO monuments in themselves and are one of the loveliest cityscapes in Europe.

Norway Northern Lights

Norway is renowned for being among the best locations to view the Northern Lights because its northern region is located directly beneath the auroral oval.

While there is no certain time of year to experience the breathtaking Aurora Borealis, your chances will be higher if you travel between September and late March. This also happens to be when whale watching is at its peak, so you can easily combine the two during your luxury yacht charter holiday.

What are the major yachting ports in Norway?

Alesund, Bergen & Stavanger all have suitable berths for superyachts.

5 Day Northern Europe Charter Itinerary - Bergen to Bergen

Ideal for Summer Season

Home to some of the world’s most spectacular scenery, the fjords stretching up Norway’s western coast were practically made for sailing. Weave in and out of their bays, ogling the green mountains rising up out of the water around you and landing to hike or bike along the shores whenever you want. Encounter glaciers, blossoming orchards cascading down hillsides, glassy waters, and cities and villages that have lived in this landscape for centuries.

Arrive in Bergen,  the second-largest city in Norway and the gateway to the Fjords. This is where your luxury yacht charter adventure will begin.

The city has a beautiful setting between 7 mountains offering stunning views of the city and surrounding fjords and islands. She has now gained a place on UNESCO’s world heritage list. Founded in 1070, Bergen grew up around its colorful harbor - it was the hub of commerce, seafaring and craftsmanship. Aside from their commercial interests, Bergen merchants had a nose for culture; this city has one of the world’s oldest symphony orchestras, the country’s first national theatre, a host of international festivals, and a whole range of museums and institutions.

• Bergen Area Guide

The second day of your yacht charter sees you in the romantic city of Rosendal, located between Stavanger and Bergen.

The region is most famous for its music festival at the end of May and the Barony, which is the smallest “palace” in all of Scandinavia . Visit the museum and take a guided tour of the premises, including a grand garden that is often thought to be the most magnificent Victorian garden in Norway, to get a real feel of the royalty that resided there for centuries. Other activities you might enjoy here are kayaking in the Hardanderfjord or exploring Stone Park in the Folgefonna National Park Centre.

Lysefjorden

Wake up ready for a day full of adventure as you explore one of the most spectacular fjords in Norway , the mountains are more than 1000 meters high, and the fjord is about 500 meters deep.

The mountain Fantahåla seems to close over your head when the yacht is inside. Further along the fjord, you’ll see some friendly goats that have become an attraction to the ships passing through. A popular activity is to feed the goats from the bow of your charter yacht.

The Pulpit Rock is only a short distance away. It is a massive cliff 604 meters above the fjord. The top of the cliff is approximately 25 by 25 meters, square, and almost flat. Once on the edge of the top, as many hikers have experienced, one may definitely feel the desire to jump, invited by some sort of mystic voice, in a real dream of flying, which contributes to Preikestolen’s majestic reputation. It is quite normal to see people up there sitting with their feet over the edge.

Today marks the day that you get to witness the blissful Stavanger, a culturally rich region that includes mountains, waterfalls, fjords and beaches, and is home to the third largest city in Norway.

Countless possibilities await you here, including kayaking, hiking, cycling, fishing, exploring the city, and maybe even swimming if the weather allows. Known as the oil capital of Norway, businesses thrive here and it is always easy to find something to do. If you’re interested, embark on wildlife safari to see gigantic king crabs, reindeer, musk oxen and elks.

• Stavanger Area Guide

Enjoy an idyllic cruise back to Bergen where you will say goodbye to the crew and disembark.

Admire the picturesque views from the sundeck of your motor yacht and toast a glass of champagne to an incredible Norway yacht charter vacation. If time allows, have a look at the quaint shops and enjoy a coffee from one of the colorful establishments along the waterfront. Say your farewells to the crew and take a private transfer to the airport for your onward journey back home to reality, leaving you with fantastic memories as you go.

Yacht Charter From Bergen

SAILING WEST COAST NORWAY

Sailing West Coast Norway

Bareboat yacht charter in Bergen is a unique, varied and interesting experience. Due to the large cruising ground and infinite sailing options available a west coast Norway yacht charter will appeal to yacht charter groups for many different reasons. Some like the breath taking scenery, island hopping and quaint villages whist other charterers enjoy the history sites that Norway has to offer. 

Stretching from Tananger and Stavanger, south of Bergen all the way up to Trondheim, the Norwegian coast has a unique geographical make up and follows a very distinct pattern. Outer fringes of sheltering islands of various sizes adorn this impressive coastline and a series of large sounds and fjords, formed millions of years ago by glaciers cut into the landscape to form horizontal waterways penetrating miles inland and forming some of the most spectacular natural scenery in the world.

SAILING IN THE FJORDS

Sailing in Norwegian Fjords

This is fjord Norway, a sailor’s paradise in the North Sea through deep and dramatic fjords lying in gorges cut between majestic mountains. The climbing mountains on either side of the fjords are steep and high, and continue as far below the water as above.

The headland of Statt divides the west coast into a southern section, starting in Stavanger, and a northern section, ending in Trondheim, where south and north Norway meet.

Bergen is Norway’s second largest city, and lies conveniently between two of the most famous and interesting fjords, Hardangerfjord, which goes under several names winding its way northwest between low-lying landscapes and steep impressive mountains, and Sognefjord, one of the world’s longest natural fjord.

Stavanger is situated in the southwest corner of a large bay of islands surrounded by fjords. Lysefjord, with its dramatic pulpit rock (usually seen in most of the Norway Fjords’ tourist literature) is as steep and dramatic as the larger longer fjords further north.

Fjord scenery is spectacular, but care and good planning is required for fjord sailing in many regions of Norway. There are small settlements, anchorages, and towns but due to some of the distances attention to detail when planning your passages is required. Winds can be unpredictable in the fjords and can occasionally funnel down through the fjords or from the mountains. 

Many people prefer to island hop on either side of the inner lead, and admire the dramatic scenery of the mountains and fjords from a distance whilst ensuring some spirited and varied sailing days and passages.

Harbours are not crowded and you will find only a few other yachts. The islands themselves are diverse and varied – rich in cultural and historical interest. The history of the area tells tales and shows evidence from the era of the Vikings and the small fishing villages and fishing way of life is still abundant today.

Travel connections are excellent to Bergen with many low cost carriers flying in from Europe, the UK and further afield. There are good internal and international flights, along with ferries, trains and long-distance buses.

Places to visit

There are many different interesting sites to visit on a yacht charter in Norway. From Bergen you will find a lot of well protected mooring facilities so that you can get on and off the boat as you wish. There are many small-town docks for you to tie up to and you will always find a space between anchoring and mooring.

After a lovely sail, dock at Bergen and take the Ulriken Cable Car high into the mountains or take a ride on Fløibanen Funicular to the top of Mount Fløyen and once at the top you will have the most magnificent views of Bergen.

Enjoy a walk in the Troll Forest, a film setting for the movie Frozen which is situated at the top. Take a picnic with you and enjoy sitting at the lake at Skomakerdiket on Mount Fløyen and canoe on the lake. There is a café and restaurant at the top if you prefer a full meal after a leisurely day sailing. These will be precious memories made with your family and friends in Norway.
