The Norwegian fjords are Europe's most dramatic charter destination. Vertical rock walls rise a thousand metres from water that runs hundreds of metres deep, waterfalls plunge directly into the sea, and in midsummer the sun barely sets. From a yacht, the experience is visceral and unforgettable.
What makes Norway distinctive as a charter ground is the combination of extreme natural beauty with excellent infrastructure. The fjord towns offer good provisioning, the waters are well-charted, and the marinas are modern. You are cruising through genuine wilderness — eagles overhead, seals on the rocks — but with the comforts of a highly developed country.
Drivas Yachts arranges fjord charters on expedition motor yachts and explorer vessels capable of navigating the narrower waterways. The crew's local knowledge is essential here: understanding tidal currents in the narrow passages, knowing which waterfalls are running, and choosing anchorages where the midnight light is most spectacular.
