Z05-24: Passage from Shetland to Norway (280 miles)

We will sail from Lerwick on the first day to one of the northern Shetland islands. This will allow everyone to get used to the ship and the sea, and it also provides us time to see some of this special group of islands. We then have a distance of about 240 miles to sail to the Norwegian coast. With good weather conditions, about two days non-stop, but it may take longer or shorter, depending on the weather.

We will sail with a 3-watch system, 3 hours on and 6 hours off. In this way, you’ll get your rest, and it allows you to run a proper watch, also in colder conditions.

The destination will be determined by the weather, but the plan is to spend a day in port after the passage to recuperate and see some of the surroundings. We will finish this sailing voyage in the pretty town of Alesund, where we will eat out to conclude the sailing trip.

In short, a nice passage with lots of sailing, steering and with beautiful sun and moon rises/ sets. With a bit of luck we can enjoy beautiful starry skies and / or a luminous sea and dolphins. This sailing voyage is a nice combination of making miles, sailing through the night, but also with a bit of time ashore to enjoy and to recover and nice weather (according to plan).

The sailing distances are between 20 and 240 miles.
The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide.

Sailing holiday Prices 

The ‘board price’ of the voyage is the rent for ship and crew, which must be paid up front.

The ‘board cash’ is the amount per person for the food and drink on board (including crew), as well as fuel, water, shore, port fees and taxes, but excluding trips, food and drinks ashore. This amount must be paid upon embarkation in cash to the skipper (in the appropriate currency). What remains after the sailing holiday, will be refunded.

With less than 3 participants, the ‘board cash’ is usually not sufficient. In that case, there will be a surcharge of up to € 50 per person.
