Custom Trip Consultation and Planning
We specialize in custom trip planning for luxury adventure sailing experiences in arctic Norway
Our collaborative process ensures we put together the perfect trip tailored just for you. We understand that one size does not fit all for yacht charter planning.
We are hired by you as a professional consultant to discuss with your wants and needs for your charter and to draw upon our industry and destination knowledge, as well as our experience and connections, to create a customized full service itinerary for your trip.

After our first point of contact, we get to work! Using our extensive local network of contacts, we start designing your charter.
