Barents-sail is flexible with time and experiences as it is you as a guest who decides most of where to go and what to do but within the limits of safety.

On Barents Sail's boats "Njord 2" "Norbreez" and "Lomvi" we offer a starter package with raw delicacy of king crab and snow crab with a bottle of white vine and if you want to try your fishing luck for fish,all the boats have equipment for this too.

The favorite places to sail all year around are Northern Norway, Sørøya, Lofoten, Senja, and outer Tromsø and Lyngen. If you like mountain hikes, why not drop the Anchor in a fjord and take your backpack on and walk or ski in our beautiful nature summer or winter. Personally i can recommend a trip to Årøya which is located in the middle of Lyngen fjord.
