NOW TWO BOATS - ARCTICA and ARCTICA II

STATUS BOOKING 2012 and 2013 - SEE BELOW

S/Y Arctica and S/Y Arctica II are available for charter during the summer season 2012. We also arrange expeditions for individuals who want to participate in a small group of crew members on a relatively small boat. Arctica is perfect for maximum 5 participants, Arctica II is perfect for 8-10 participants.

Both sailing yachts are based on Spitsbergen. Arctica has "always" been here. Arctica II is a second boat in our fleet and will arrive Longyearbyen in May 2012. From then Spistbergen will be her base.

Both boats are perfect for exciting expeditions - tourists, scientists, photographers, film teams, televison producers, etc.

This website is not yet updated with all necessary information. Most of the information is about Arctica since this is the boat we have operated up here since 2003.

In the mean time you can have a look at the specifications of Arctica II here: Arctica II Spec.
