Real enough to feel alive. Premium Arctic sailing in Northern Norway and Svalbard. Whole boat, small groups, since 2003. See our experiences: https://boreal-yachting.com/experiences ## Sailing the Arctic, properly. Boreal Yachting has been sailing the waters of Northern Norway and Svalbard since 2003. We operate a fleet of ten vessels prepared for Arctic conditions, with experienced skippers and crew, under the guidelines of AECO — the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators. We are not a luxury yacht charter, and we are not a mass-tourism operator. We sit in the space between the two: premium experiences built on trust, small groups, and real Arctic competence. 2003 Sailing Arctic waters continuously since 10 Arctic-prepared vessels in the fleet AECO Member of the Arctic expedition operators' association Eco-Lighthouse Certified environmental management ## Experiences - ### Ski & Sail Norway Sail to a different mountain each morning.

Guests remember three things from a sailing trip: the nature, the people they were with, and the crew. Our skippers and guides are not a service layer — they are the reason the experience works. Some have sailed these waters for twenty years. Some grew up on them. All of them are why guests come back. Meet the crew (https://boreal-yachting.com/about/crew) ## How a Boreal Yachting journey comes together 1. 1 ### Tell us what you have in mind. Dates, group size, and what you want out of it. Nothing more complicated than that. 2. 2 ### We shape a proposal. The right boat, the right crew, a route that suits the season and the people on board. 3. 3 ### We sail. Everything on board is handled. You are a participant, not a passenger. Most journeys are booked six to twelve months ahead. Ski & Sail weeks in Lyngen and Svalbard expeditions fill earliest. > “We expected a sailing trip. We came home talking about the crew, the weather we sat through together, and a glacier we anchored under for two nights. It was not a holiday. It was something else.” Thomas K., Germany — Ski & Sail Norway, 2024 ## From the field - Itineraries ### 10 Days from Tromsø to Lofoten https://boreal-yachting.com/journal/tromso-to-lofoten - Itineraries ### One week sailing and trekking in Lofoten https://boreal-yachting.com/journal/sailing-trekking-lofoten - Itineraries ### One week sailing and trekking on Senja https://boreal-yachting.com/journal/sailing-trekking-senja Read the Journal: https://boreal-yachting.com/journal ## Start planning your Arctic journey.
