Bryggen, Bergen · 60°23′N 5°19′E

The fjords, with no one else aboard.

A fifty-foot Prestige yacht, twelve guests, and a coastline that has no interest in being rushed. Every charter is drawn around your day.

See a full day on the water — Modalen

Vessel Prestige 500 Fly Guests Up to 12 Charters from NOK 15,000

Most people see the fjords from a deck of four hundred. You will see them from a deck of twelve.

There is no timetable, no queue at the gangway and no commentary over a loudspeaker. You tell us what kind of day you want — long lunches on an island, waterfalls up close, a crossing to Rosendal, somewhere quiet to swim — and we plan the water around it.

The Vessel

Built in France.
At home in Norway.

The Prestige 500 Fly carries her length well — a wide flybridge for the crossing out, a sheltered saloon for the weather that inevitably arrives, and enough deck to spread out on when it doesn't. She is comfortable at speed and quiet at anchor, which is most of what matters out here.

Charters

Ten ways out of Bergen.

Each one is a starting point, not a fixed itinerary. Tell us which appeals and we will shape it around your group.

60°36′N
4°51′E Catch & Dive in Øygarden Out into the island belt west of Bergen to haul crab pots, free-dive for scallops and pull oysters from cold, clean water — a fire-bowl feast of your own catch, a night in a still island sound, and fresh pots up before breakfast. From 2 days On request 60°51′N
7°07′E Sognefjorden — Two-Day Expedition Our flagship expedition: two unhurried days up the world's longest fjord, with a night in Flåm and the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjorden before the day boats. The pace is the point — we stop where the water invites it, for a swim, a dive, or scallops brought up for dinner. From 2 days On request 60°07′N
6°44′E Hardangerfjord — Tailor-Made Fjord cruising joined to glacier, mountain and table — Bondhusvatnet, Folgefonna, Trolltunga, via ferrata, cider tasting, and dinner worth sitting down for. Bespoke On request 60°32′N
4°55′E Øygarden & Askøy The shortest way out of Bergen and into water that feels nothing like a city. Narrow sounds, hidden coves, and no schedule to keep. From 3 hrs FromNOK 18,000 60°01′N
5°13′E Bekkjarvik Bekkjarvik is a three-hundred-year-old trading post in Austevoll with a guesthouse that has won more awards than the village has streets. From 6 hrs FromNOK 28,000 60°50′N
5°49′E Modalen Modalen has roughly four hundred residents and more waterfalls than roads. Arriving by sea is the way it was always reached. From 7 hrs FromNOK 32,000 60°57′N
4°55′E Skjærjehamn Yellow timber buildings on a green point of land, a quay that has been in use for two centuries, and the open sea just beyond. From 8 hrs FromNOK 32,000 60°15′N
5°05′E Porsvika 125 Out through the skerries of Sotra to a place that does not appear on the way to anywhere. Cruising first, then a long dinner. From 8 hrs FromNOK 32,000 59°59′N
6°01′E Rosendal — One Way Arrive in Rosendal by sea and stay. The route across bends to the weather and to you, and we put you ashore at whichever quay in Rosendal suits your evening — the hotel jetty, the guest harbour, or a friend's private pier. From 4 hrs FromNOK 46,000 59°59′N
6°01′E Rosendal — Return A full day on Norway's second-longest fjord, with a local guide aboard and time ashore at the Baroniet. From 8 hrs FromNOK 50,000

Aboard Fjord Queen on the Norwegian west coast

Who We Are

A family, and one long crossing in November.

We brought her home from the Netherlands in the worst weather of the year.

It was not the sensible month to make that crossing. It turned into one of the best experiences we have had on the water, and it settled the question of whether we were serious about this.

We started Norwegian Fjords because the coast we grew up on is meant to be experienced rather than photographed from a distance. Every charter we run is still planned by the people who will be aboard with you.

Family-run · Bergen, Norway

Aboard

What every charter includes.

Your group only

The whole vessel is yours. No shared decks, no strangers, no fixed seating plan.

A local captain

Someone who has run this coast for years and knows where the water is worth stopping.

A flexible route

Plans change with the weather and with the mood aboard. That is the point of a private charter.

Refreshments

Snacks and mineral water throughout. Full catering and island dining arranged on request.

Aboard

Where you actually spend the day.

Twelve guests, a saloon that stays warm when the weather turns, cabins for anyone who wants an hour out of the wind, and a galley that does more than make coffee.
