"We had an amazing adventure, it's such a beautiful place to sail and the people are so kind and helpful! The Arctic Sky was dry, warm and spacious above all easy to handle and very pleasant to sail. I'm planning to come again."

"Our trip was beautiful. We had good weather and always excellent seafood. Norway is a fantastic country."

“All perfect. Rich boat equipment for both navigation and life. Friendly weather. Sun first week, wind the second, and some drop of rain to remember us our latitude. Thanks to all”

"Our charter experience was lovely. Rune was the best fit for our trip. What a genuine and thoughtful skipper. We were pleased with the boat and your operation overall."

"Very enjoyable, thank you. The scenery was fantastic with the fjords, mountains, patches of snow and painted houses, and it was really relaxing, sailing from place to place - tying up in small harbours or dropping anchor in peaceful lagoons. The boat, equipment and support was excellent. Really memorable, and suited us perfectly."

"The holiday went perfectly. Excellent navigation, boat in perfect order as well as people to check in and check out."

"Our trip to Norway was absolutely outstanding. The landscape is stunning, the people incredibly friendly and welcoming, the sailing fantastic. The students responded with great courage and a spirit of adventure to each experience we threw at them. The boats were in good shape and met our expectations in every way. Thank you for all of your support, you were integral to a positive and smooth charter experience. All said, it was a remarkably positive experience and one we hope to replicate in a few years.”

“Yes, we had a great trip! We made it to the north cap and back within the week. Except one day with clouds, some fog and rain, the weather was also great. It’s such a great area for sailing that I really missed some more days to stop and look around. But this might be a good justification to come back again."

"It was great – yacht was in very good condition and we enjoyed a lot. Weather was very sunny and hot. We visited 2 key destinations which we liked: Rosendal and Lysefjord with the climb to the pulpit rock. Overall impression was very positive, special thanks to you for being helpful and responsive on all questions."

The Kingdom of Norway (Norwegian Kongeriket Norge). This country,  occupies the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern  Europe. Its name originates from the Old Norse word Nor?rvegr – “way to  north." Norway is a great sailing destination, surrounded by three seas:  the Barents Sea to the northeast, the Norwegian – to the West and  Northen Sea – to the south-west it has a lot to offer to most  experienced sailors. Norway has a long and narrow territory with 30%  covered by forests, many rivers and lakes. More than half of the  country's territory is occupied by mountains.

Only Norway yacht charter vacation can offer a unique blend of  gorgeous scenery, diverse wildlife and spectacular Nothern Lighst  watching. Explore drammatic northern nature and spectacular landscapes  form the comfort of your yacht or catamaran.

General description: The kingdom of Norway, one of the largest  countries in Europe, spreads its borders along the North Sea, the  Norwegian Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Norway yacht charter is an ideal way  to explore magnificent fjords, which are unique geological formations  stretching deep into surrounding mountains, indenting its rugged  coastline, present the most spectacular features. Norway is also the  home of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Places of interest:

The capital, Oslo, is a vibrant city centered round a harbor and  guarded by the 14-th century castle. The center of Oslo is home to the  Royal Palace, Viking Ship Museum, a lot of parks and galleries, as well  as other public institutions. Rent a boat in Norway and discover the  area close to Oslo, that is well built-up, with bustling harbors,  guarded by fortresses as early as 1643. But further south the scenery is  like post cards depicting dramatic towns and serene villages with  quaint clapboard houses and boats galore.

Bareboat charter in Oslofjorden area will bring you to the oldest  settlements dated back to Stone and Bronze Ages. Hanko is one of the  islands in this area. Its harbor town has the oldest naval museum in the  world, established in 1853. Although it sits on a bare rock, facing the  fjord, its sheltered eastern side is well forested, providing a  much-favored harbor and anchorage. The Norwegian Yachting Association  was founded here in 1882. Since then the island has been a venue for  national regattas, sailing races and world championship events. Norway  yacht charter in July will give you a chance to see most popular Hanko  Regatta that collects over 200 boats.

Southern Norway bareboat charter

The southern coast ( Oslo and Bergen ),  lined with silver-sand beaches set against a backdrop of high mountain  plateau, and white-painted houses in fish-farming villages, is known as  the sunny side of Norway and summer paradise for holiday-makers. Renting  a boat here you will find numerous harbors with all necessary  amenities.

Western Norway yacht charter

The long lacy western coastline borders the North Sea. This part of the  country is a true land of fjords, waterfalls, glaciers and secluded  beaches. Bergen is the second biggest town in Norway and offers number  of yachts for charter. Back in 10170 Bergen was the largest town in the  country and the capital of a region that included Iceland, Greenland and  parts of Scotland. Even after Oslo became capital of Norway in 1299,  Bergen continued to grow as a trading center, especially for the exports  of dried fish. Now it is a true center of shipping. Bergen is a World  Heritage City and the official residence of the king of Norway.

Northern Norway

Northern Norway ( Tromso and Lofoten )  has been called as "the land of excitement" or "the land of the high  flames". These expressions capture the essence of it - the shimmering  Northern Lights of winter and the midnight sun that shines day and night  in summer. With bareboat charter, you will be able to explore its  unspoiled coast that consists of a multitude of islands, fjords,  snow-clad peaks and glaciers. The northernmost point in Norway, Nordkapp  (the North Cape), is a place of pilgrimage for all-time traveler. Sheer  1,014-ft (309-m) high perpendicular cliffs form this most amazing  landmark as Europe's most northerly point.

Rent a boat in Eastern Norway

The route between Tonsberg and Tjome, known as World's End, is only  19 miles (30 km) but plenty of time needed to explore this stunning  archipelago. There are impressive coves, narrow sounds, old skipper's  houses and boathouses, also a string of inviting holiday resorts.  Bridges connecting the larger islands and the sea is never far away for a  refreshing swim. Mountains, valleys and lakes dominate this incredible  landscape. It has a special appeal for rock climbers and hikers: from  the easy alpine pastures in Alvdal to demanding peaks in the national  parks.

Festivities. There are four defined seasons in Norway and "every  season has its charm". And Norway finds its enjoyment in each of them by  creating a number of festivals: snow and ice sculpture tournament, ski-  kite event, white-water canoe racing, dog-sledding, boat festivals -  fairs and games all the way along the coast.

Although sometimes wind or cold, rain or snow, can bring those  pleasures indoors (Jazz, folklore and dance festivals, film premieres  and art exhibitions), but nothing can spoil high spirit, because  festivals are important part of the nation's cultural life.

While on the yacht charter in Norway do not miss its vibrant cuisine  rich in fresh seafood (smoked, pickled or dried fish including whale  meat and seal) and wild game (reindeer, elk, pheasant, etc.). Although  over the years the local restaurants have become incredibly diverse,  including exotic international meals in the menu, Norwegian specialties,  such as lamb and cabbage stew or reindeer medallions or marinade of  rabbit, cannot be missed. Other traditional favorites include cured  smoked sausage and pheasant breast served with mushroom sauce. One  should not forget Norwegian most famous cheeses, best served on Ryvita  crisps. And for desert try fruits and especially berries (gooseberries  or black- and red currants).

Climate in Norway

Much of the country is habitable due to the warming effects of the  Gulf Stream. It comfortably creates mild winters and cool summers on the  west coast. The south and west of the country have the highest average  temperature 72F (22C) in Oslo in July. Norway is a vast country with  wide variations in its geographical and climate conditions. Both at sea  and in the mountains the wind and weather can change rapidly, thus it is  advisable to consult local people with knowledge of the sea before  setting forth into unknown waters.

Magnificent scenery combined with the wide range of outdoor  activities (whale and seal safaris; cave walking; dog-sledging, mountain  climbing, etc.) - that what makes Norway so appealing to adventurous  travelers. Norway has enormously long coastline interspersed with fjords  and islands, making boating a pure haven. And the most rewarding way to  explore the remote and enticing parts of this unique country is  definitely by sailing. The western coastline provides the most  convenient and safe mooring for the boats. Although anchorage is  free-of-charge in Norway, there are certain (and sometimes complicated)  specifics about mooring and berths. That's why it is better to let  experts deal with it. No matter how well-organized your sailing event  looks like, it is always wise and safe to consult and present your  vacation dream to professionals and let "12 Knots" do what they are good  at.

When is the best time to visit Norway aboard a luxury yacht?

The best time to visit Norway aboard a luxury yacht is from May until late September. Spring is a wonderful time to visit; you’ll see Norway at its finest, when everything starts to turn green, yet the mountains are still snow-capped. Summer is also an excellent time to visit, when you’ll enjoy sun-soaked, blissfully long days ideal for cruising the fjords and enjoying a myriad of outdoor pursuits. To view the Northern Lights, head to Norway in September, when the dark nights are ideal for seeing this superb natural phenomen, and the weather is not too cold.

Can I see the Northern Lights in Norway?

Yes, it’s possible to view the Northern Lights in Norway, also called the Aurora Borealis. The best time to see the Northern Lights is during Spring (March/April) and Fall (September/October), although it is possible to see aurora activity during November, December, January, and February when Mother Nature puts on a spectacular light show. The peak viewing time is between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., when the sky is clear and dark.

Southern Norway: In the southern parts of Norway, including cities like Oslo and Bergen, average temperatures in the summer (June to August) typically range from around 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F). In winter (December to February), average temperatures usually range from around -2°C to 2°C (28°F to 36°F), but can drop lower, particularly in inland areas.

Northern Norway: In the northern regions of Norway, such as Tromsø and Kirkenes, temperatures tend to be colder. Summer temperatures may range from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F) on average, while winter temperatures can drop significantly, often reaching below freezing. In some areas, winter temperatures can drop well below -10°C (14°F) or even lower.

Coastal areas in Norway generally experience milder winters compared to inland regions, thanks to the moderating influence of the ocean. However, they can also experience more precipitation.

Norway Yacht Charter

Norway Luxury Yacht Charter

A gateway to adventure, incredible natural beauty, and fascinating culture

With immense fjords, majestic mountains, and towering glaciers, Norway is a destination like no other.  Postcard-perfect scenery and rustic villages nestled in sweeping green valleys offer some of the finest landscapes anywhere in the world. And with the world’s second largest coastline, exploring this splendid destination by yacht is the perfect choice to see everything this Nordic sanctuary has to offer.

Cruise during the summer months of May through July and you’ll experience the glowing Midnight Sun, where the sun glimmers across the land 24 hours a day and never fully sets.  At midnight, watch your yacht glide through the waters, illuminated by the ethereal twilight. A unique experience you won’t soon forget.

Navigate your way through the calm waters of this kingdom of fjords past steep mountains, cascading waterfalls, and massive glaciers. With secluded anchorages all to yourself, glorious isolation will be your only companion. For those seeking a little more adventure, entertainment can be found on shore with cycling, hiking, zip lining, or from above by taking a helicopter tour. And foodies will delight in the selection of incredibly fresh seafood available at restaurants on shore, or as prepared by your yacht’s chef.

Cruising Norway delivers a much more diverse experience than that of the well-traveled seas of the  Mediterranean  and the  Caribbean , so be prepared for something different: a spellbinding adventure in the heart of nature.

STAVANGER TO LYSEFJORD

Arrive in Stavanger to meet your yacht, but before embarking on your voyage, stroll the town’s boutiques and shops and enjoy a celebratory cocktail as you catch your first glimpse of Norway’s spectacular scenery. Stopover at one of the more popular tourist spots in the fjords, the island of Hidle, known for its exotic gardens full of blossoming plants and palm trees. Enjoy a delicious meal ashore or dine on the deck of your yacht.

PULPIT ROCK & HAUGESUND

Adventure-seekers can head ashore and hike up to Norway’s famous Pulpit Rock. This three and a half hour trek is somewhat challenging, but rewards the experienced hiker with incredible outlooks and panoramic views from atop the steep cliff. Return to your yacht and make your way to Haugesund, a young, vibrant city that hosts several festivals every year. History enthusiasts can tour the Viking Farm, and anglers can choose from several excellent spots to drop a line.

AKRAFJORDEN TO ROSENDAL

As you cruise to Akrafjorden, relax and absorb the sweeping scenery as you prepare for your next adventure. For an exhilarating on-land experience, a visit to Trolljuv Adrenalin Park offers thrill-seekers the chance to zip line across the Trolljuv Gorge and bungee jump from the bridge. When you return to the calm respite of your yacht, don’t miss the view of Langfoss waterfall, which cascades a total of 2,008 feet in all. An exquisite anchorage awaits you at Rosendal, where you can enjoy a compelling range of leisure activities.

ROSENDAL TO LOFTHUS

Continue your voyage with a scenic passage that begins at Norheimsund, where you’ll find the Steinsdalsfossen waterfall. Then cruise to the Kalrassen waterfall, where your yacht can get close enough that you’ll be able to touch the cascading water from the deck. End up at the port of Lofthus, where you can head ashore for elegant dining at the Hotel Ullensvang.

LOFTHUS TO EIDFJORD

Take advantage of the helipad at the Hotel Ullensvang and charter a helicopter for a truly elevated, bird’s eye view of the Folgefonna Glacier and the Trolltunga viewpoint. For yet another adrenaline-packed experience, head to the Trolltunga Zippen, a 2,000 ft. zip line that descends its riders 650 ft. to the lake below. Return to the comfort of your yacht and unwind with a cocktail on deck before cruising onward to Eidfjord. It’s here you’ll find one of the most visited tourist attractions in Norway, the famous Voringsfossen waterfall, where the pristine water has a free fall drop of about 475 feet.

EIDFJORD TO TYSNESOY

With all the heart-racing activities Eidfjord has to offer, it’s a thrill-seeker’s paradise. Downhill cycling through the Hardangervidda National Park is sure to get your blood pumping. Or for a truly unique experience, White Water Jump is an exhilarating combination of abseiling, zip lining, and aerial acrobatics high above a rushing river. After all that activity, your reposeful home on the water awaits, ready to transport you to a splendid anchorage off Tysnesoy Island.

TYSNESOY TO BERGEN

Tysnesoyis the perfect spot to splash around with your yacht’s water toys, try your hand at fishing, or visit a local salmon farm to enjoy a catch-of-the-day that doesn’t get much fresher. When you’re ready for boutique shopping and entertaining nightlife, cruise to the city of Bergen, an ideal ending to this incredible journey.

Norway Yacht Charter

Norway is a departure from conventional yachting hotspots – an otherworldly destination rich in Viking myths, local folklore, and breathtaking landscapes of deep fjords and snow-capped mountains. Let yourself become enthralled by the country’s sparkling lakes, staggering glaciers and pine forests as you cruise silently along Norway’s western coast. Renowned for its stunning, raw and stark beauty, the Norwegian fjords are a true natural masterpiece. Protected under the UNESCO World Heritage List, there is no better way to explore Norway’s fjord lands than via the water. Cruise in between secluded bays, taking in the low hanging mist over its luscious mountains dotted waterfalls and charming villages. Picture porpoises and seals swimming along with the yacht, while an eagle soars above in the pine-scent air. A Norway yacht charter will ensure you feel at one with Mother Nature and leave you yearning for more magical experiences.

Norway The Norwegian Fjords

Sail away from the well-trodden seas of the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and be prepared for something different, a spellbinding adventure in the heart of nature. Norway is a destination like no other and will bring you closer to nature like never before. A charter on board a yacht in Norway is the perfect way to discover the true beauty and wilderness of this location. Step on board and experience dreamy landscapes, amazing wildlife, and complete tranquility. This is your chance to escape for a while, to embark on a journey with your family and friends and experience something totally natural and different. In the land of the midnight sun, you'll share your yacht charter experience with few, other than the local fishermen and several species of wildlife.

More Details

Navigate your way through the calm waters of this kingdom of fjords, past steep mountains, roaring waterfalls, and glaciers. It is of no surprise that the Western Fjords feature prominently in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Don’t be fooled, Norway is not always a snow covered land. The country benefits from weather reflected in all four of its seasons, and during the summer enjoys many hours of sunshine.

Morning Rundown: Tim Walz gives Dems a pep talk, new Covid vaccines set for approval, and a poignant end for gay penguin 'power couple'

Five bodies found inside superyacht that sank off Sicily

PORTICELLO, Sicily — Divers recovered four bodies Wednesday from inside a superyacht that sank in a sudden storm off Sicily , Salvatore Cocina, director of the island's Civil Protection Agency, confirmed to NBC News.

Cocina later confirmed to Sky News that a fifth body had been found and was being brought to shore. One passenger remains missing.

The identities of the bodies were not immediately released. Their recovery follows a dayslong search in the deep waters off Italy where British tech tycoon Mike Lynch  and several others were believed to be trapped in the hull. Fifteen of the 22 people aboard survived.

The rest had been missing since early Monday, when the Bayesian was caught in the storm anchored off the coast of Porticello, a village near the Sicilian capital city, Palermo.

The body of the ship’s cook, identified as Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian Antiguan national, was recovered Monday. 

On Wednesday, NBC News witnessed what appeared to be at least three body bags being lifted from fire department boats after they pulled into port at Porticello. It was unclear whose bodies they were. Some were later transferred to ambulances and driven away from the dock.

Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah; Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife, Neda, are also missing. 

The Bayesian is owned by a firm linked to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who was among the survivors rescued by a nearby vessel after they got into a lifeboat.

Built by the Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi in 2008, the U.K.-registered yacht could carry 12 guests and a crew of up to 10, according to online specialist boating sites. Its nearly 250-foot mast is the tallest aluminum sailing mast in the world, according to CharterWorld Luxury Yacht Charters.  

Regularly described in U.K. media as “Britain’s Bill Gates,” Lynch was  acquitted of fraud by a San Francisco jury this year, stemming from the sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011.

The Mediterranean sailing vacation was designed to be a celebration for Lynch, who brought Bloomer, who testified in his defense, and Morvillo, one of his U.S. lawyers, on the trip.

Lynch's co-defendant Stephen Chamberlain was not aboard the Bayesian, but in what appears to be a tragic coincidence, a  car struck and killed  him Saturday as he was jogging in a village about 68 miles north of London, local police said.

Claudio Lavanga and Claudia Rizzo reported from Porticello. Henry Austin reported from London.

Claudio Lavanga is Rome-based foreign correspondent for NBC News.

Claudia Rizzo is an Italy based journalist.

Henry Austin is a senior editor for NBC News Digital based in London.
