Norway by Sailing Yacht - Lofoten Islands from Harstad | 16-23 Jul 2027
About this sailing adventure
A new view outside the cabin window every morning. During the day we sail between islands, into fjords and go ashore, in the evening the whole crew sits down at one table on board. This is the Arctic summer, with daylight almost around the clock. The trip starts and finishes in Harstad, and the nearest main airport is Harstad/Narvik Evenes (EVE). The route runs through the Tjeldsundet strait between mountain shores to Lødingen, on to the fishing settlement of Risvær among small islands, into the Trollfjord where the rock walls rise almost straight out of the water (conditions permitting), and then to Svolvær, the heart of the Lofoten Islands, for two nights. On the free day the yacht stays in the marina and you choose one outing, for example the ferry to Skrova or a walk on the islands. Then back via Lødingen and Tjeldsundet to Harstad, with departure times set by the skipper to suit the tidal currents. We sail on a Dufour 48 built in 2026, with a shared saloon and a cockpit made for long dinners. Five main sailing days, one day without passages and evenings in a small crew. You can come alone, as a couple or with friends. The route is preliminary and the skipper may change it for weather, currents and berth availability. ⛵️ Sailing trip with Katran Yachting School 📍 Harstad, Norway 📅 16-23 July 2027 Fjords, Lofoten and endless Arctic daylight from the water.
