Charter a superyacht in
Let a yacht charter in Norway take your breath away. Float through silent, awe-inspiring fjords, visit Viking villages, and venture north into the Arctic Circle, where the northern lights weave purple and green patterns across the sky. From your Norway charter yacht you can watch whales breach against soaring mountains, summer-ski on glaciers, and hike through vistas of wildflower fields and orchards so pretty that they could almost break your heart. With more than 50,000 islands and a thousand fjords, the Land of the Midnight Sun is one of the world’s most breathtaking yacht charter destinations.
Norway’s western coast is a chaos of deep fjords and tens of thousands of islands created by ancient ice ages — a coastline so intricate that if stretched out into a straight line, it would circle the globe two and half times. With high mountains plunging down into fjords just as deep again, a Norway yacht charter is the only way to explore this life-affirming, watery place in privacy and luxury. Fill your days river rafting, hiking, mountain-biking, climbing, surfing, and scuba-diving, and explore cosmopolitan cities— the fairy-tale delight of art deco Alesund, the foodie havens of Oslo, and the opera houses and galleries of Bergen.

The majority of Norway charter yachts cruise the area around Bergen, Stavanger, and Alesund on Norway’s southwest coast, with Hardangerfjord and Geirangerford often considered the most beautiful fjords in the world. Other spectacular fjords in this region include Sognefjord, Romsdalsfjorden, Nordfjord and Nærøyfjord. Further to the south lies the magnificent Lysefjord, home of Pulpit Rock, before cruising round to Oslo, which lies on the fjord of the same name.
Late June to August is certainly the peak time to cruise Norway. In mid summer, the Gulf Stream warms the coast of Norway, bringing temperatures into the low 20s (low 70’s F). Even in the Lofoten Islands, the snows melt away and the landscapes become lush and green under the 24-hour sunlight of the Arctic Circle. While average sea temperatures in Norway generally hover in the mid-teens in summer, some fjords have temps of 20 degrees (68F) in midsummer, perfect for a refreshing dip. It is wise to expect some rainfall and fog during your Norway yacht charter, as the fjords experience quite high rainfall. Occasional gloomy weather only adds to the dramatic, haunting landscape.
In the far north of Norway lies the searing beauty of the Arctic Circle. In the Lofoten Islands, Trollfjord is unmissable for its almost haunting, otherworldly beauty, while even further north is the majesty of Lyngenfjord. Charterers visiting in autumn or early spring can ski or snowboard down the Lyngen Alps directly back to their yacht, the northern lights dancing above them as they slice through the snow. In this land of dramatic mountains and remote islands at the top of the world, this is phenomenal cruising, wild and free.
In Oslo, Aker Brygge Marina accommodates yachts up to 60m. Bergen Marina lies at the entrance to both Hardangerfjord and Songerfjord and accommodates superyachts up to 150m. Rosendal Hamn Marina accommodates megayachts up to 120m. Lofthus Marina opposite the Folgefonna Glacier, accommodates yachts up to 40m. To Bergen’s south lies the pretty village of Bekkjarvik, which accommodates yachts up to 100m at Bekkjarvik Gjestehavn. In the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, superyachts up to 120m can find a berth at Flam Marina, while yachts up to 60m can find a berth at Gudvangen Marina.
