5/5
This was my first sailing trip. Hubert did such a great job as our skipper. He was very open and friendly, would always answer questions or explain what or why we are doing it. The trip was very well-prepared, and I felt safe throughout. Also, a quick shout out for the great spots, were we stayed in for the nights. I guess my trip to the Lofoten was one of my best memories, ill ever have. At the moment I'm checking to go sailing with him again in the Caribbeans in winter. I can definitely recommend going with him.

Trip Itinerary

Harstad

Day 1-2
Our journey begins here and we move together onto our sailing boat, which is moored in the marina in Harstad. You can arrive by plane/bus, your own car or train/bus. On the first day we go shopping and get to know each other. In the evening we go out for dinner.
2

Rinøya

Day 2-3
After the safety briefing, we set sail. On Saturday we sail through the fjords towards the southwest. We enjoy nature and get to know each other as a group and the sailing boat even better. We choose a nice anchorage for the night.
3

Henningsvær

Day 3-4
We sail on and enjoy the great winds of the north. We find a nice spot for the night in Henningsvær. The Venice of the North. A colorful, lively little island town with lots to discover.

Ramberg

Day 4-5
Then we head deeper and deeper into the beautiful and legendary island world of Lofoten. Away from the mass tourists, we sail through beautiful fjords in pristine waters and hike up majestic mountains.
5

Sørvågen

Day 5-6
If we are lucky, we will also see whales. According to the statistics, the chances are very good. We might also see the northern lights. We will definitely enjoy nature and soak up the beauty of the Lofoten Islands.
6

Unstad

Day 6-7
On the open Atlantic, we get to know the vastness of the sea and the absolute freedom of a sailing boat. In the evening, we look for a nice and safe spot in an anchorage bay. What we definitely have with us are fishing rods, because you are allowed to fish in Norwegian waters and there are plenty of fish.
7

Svolvær

Day 7-8
On Thursday evening, we arrive at our final stop in Svolvær. Here we spend a lovely last evening together and talk about the highlights and adventures we have experienced together.

Svolvær

Day 8
After a quick breakfast, we clear the boat and pack up our seven things. Everyone has to be off the boat by 9 a.m., because the next group, which will also be spending a week in the Lofoten Islands, is already waiting.
