BERGEN YACHT CHARTER
Discover the Hidden Fjords of Osterøy
Private yacht, gourmet meals, secluded fjords, and curated adventures - experience Norway's fjords as few ever will.
Step aboard Stella Oceana and uncover the hidden beauty of Osterøy — the largest inland island in Northern Europe at 328 square kilometers. Just northeast of Bergen, this spectacular destination offers dramatic fjords, cascading waterfalls, and secluded anchorages untouched by mass tourism. Your private Bergen yacht charter takes you into this exclusive world, where every detail is curated for comfort and discovery. With a professional crew, tailored meals, and the freedom to explore at your own pace, this journey is unlike any other yacht charter in Norway — combining luxury, authenticity, and the rare chance to sail where few travelers venture.
An unforgettable journey! As food lovers with very specific dietary needs, we were a little nervous before the trip — but the crew of Stella Oceana went above and beyond. Every meal was beautifully prepared, creative, and perfectly adapted to us. The flexibility and care made us feel completely at ease, and the combination of luxury, adventure, and personal attention was unlike anything we’ve experienced before. Four days we will never forget.

Things You'll Do on This charter
Private Drive Through Bergen
Your Bergen yacht charter begins with a private transfer from the airport, a scenic 30-minute drive through the historic city of Bergen. Along the way, you’ll pass iconic landmarks and charming neighborhoods before arriving at Bergen Harbor, where Stella Oceana awaits by the famous UNESCO-listed Bryggen wooden buildings. This introduction to Bergen offers a glimpse of the city’s rich cultural heritage and sets the tone for your exclusive journey through Norway’s fjords.
Cruise Through Steep Fjords North of Bergen
As you set sail, the yacht glides through the majestic fjords north of Bergen, where towering cliffs rise dramatically from the water’s edge. Waterfalls cascade down lush mountainsides, creating unforgettable scenery that defines the Norwegian landscape. The cruising area around the island of Osterøy — the largest inland island in Northern Europe — offers untouched natural beauty and a rare sense of seclusion, far from the crowds of larger fjords.
Hiking With Fjord Views
On your first evening, before the sun dips behind the mountains, join the crew for a guided hike near Stanghelle. Choose between a gentle, short walk perfect for a relaxed start, or a more moderate trail that rewards you with sweeping panoramic views over the fjords. Either way, this hike offers the chance to stretch your legs after a day of sailing and take in the breathtaking scenery that makes Norway’s fjord region so unique.
Stand-up Paddle Boarding
In the late afternoon, you’ll have the chance to paddle across calm, mirror-like waters in a secluded bay near Paddøy, an uninhabited island surrounded by untouched nature. This stand-up paddleboarding session is a highlight of the charter, offering peace, adventure, and the chance to spot marine life along the way. Afterward, you can swim in the clear fjord waters before warming up in the yacht’s hot tub — the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.
Cruise through Mostraumen to Mo
The journey through the narrow Mostraumen strait is one of the most striking parts of your Bergen yacht charter. With steep cliffs, powerful waterfalls, and wildlife along the shores, this fjord passage feels like stepping into another world. Your destination, the tranquil village of Mo, is nestled in a secluded fjord and surrounded by unspoiled nature. It’s a place where time slows down, offering guests the rare chance to connect with Norway’s wilderness in complete privacy.
E-Mountain Bike, Zip-line or Gondola + Hike
For guests on the 4-day Bergen yacht charter, a private drive takes you to Voss, Norway’s adventure capital. Here, your group can choose one shared excursion: a guided e-mountain bike ride through forested trails, an exhilarating zip-line park above rivers and waterfalls, or a scenic gondola ride followed by a self-guided hike at the mountain top. Each option showcases the dramatic landscapes of Western Norway and provides a unique way to experience Voss’s outdoor culture.
Dine on Norwegian food
Dining aboard Stella Oceana is a celebration of Norwegian flavors and traditions. The crew prepares gourmet meals tailored to your preferences, blending modern techniques with classic recipes. Fresh seasonal ingredients are sourced from local farmers, fishermen, and small producers, ensuring each dish reflects the region’s culture and natural bounty.
Meals can be enjoyed in the spacious indoor salon or outside on deck, with panoramic fjord views as your backdrop. From freshly caught fish to artisanal cheeses and wild berries, every bite connects you to Norway’s culinary heritage. Dietary preferences and restrictions are gladly accommodated, so every guest can enjoy unforgettable dining throughout the voyage.
Relax in The Hot Tub
After each day’s adventures, there’s no better way to unwind than soaking in the yacht’s outdoor hot tub. Whether under the golden light of a late summer evening or beneath the crisp northern sky, this is your private sanctuary for pure relaxation. With a glass of wine in hand, surrounded by fjord landscapes, the hot tub experience becomes a highlight of the journey — blending comfort, luxury, and nature in one perfect moment.
