Sailing holiday Norway – Lysefjord & island hopping

From Haugesund, we sail through several islands in the wide Boknafjord and then on to the breathtakingly beautiful ‘Lysefjord’. A pristine and varied landscape with steep and forested mountain slopes, waterfalls and many islands.

The first day we sail to the island of Karmøy, with its picturesque harbour Skudenshavn with wooden fishermen’s cottages and nice walks along the coast. Depending on the weather and currents, this can be outside at sea, or inside. On the small island of Talgje, there is also another lovely walk with beautiful views of the Fjord and many deer roaming around.

Weather, wind and currents will determine the exact route, but the plan includes staying a day in Tau, from where the option is to hike to the spectacular viewpoint the ‘Preikestolen’.

We end the sailing trip in atmospheric Stavanger, full of colourful wooden houses, cosy streets with galleries, street art, shops and cafes. Here we end the sailing trip in a cosy restaurant and a nice pub.

The daily distances are between 15 and 25 nautical miles this sailing holiday.
The above schedule depends on weather, wind and tide, we will deviate from it if necessary.

Information on transfer options to the departure and from the arrival port are available from us on request.

Category C: Relaxed sailing holiday with shorter day distances and plenty of time for sightseeing.

Frequently asked questions

We still handle your bookings personally and therefore do not have an automatic booking system. This way, we can enable you to reserve individual places for a few days without any obligation. This allows you, for example, to arrange your holiday without someone stealing your place from under your nose. For this reason, we cannot keep track of the exact number of free places on a daily basis. However, we regularly check the availability of our sailing holidays. Therefore, you can generally assume that plenty of free places are still available on all trips that are not marked as ‘fully booked’ or ‘Last Minute’. Call us or use our booking form if you want to know the exact number of places available.

If you are travelling alone and have not booked a private cabin, you will be accommodated in a shared cabin. Shared cabins are normally divided by gender. Only on the Belle Amie and Seatrips Yachts do they sometimes have mixed cabins.

Yes, vegetarians and allergies/intolerances can be catered for on most ships. However, there is only one menu per day on the programme. Therefore, please let us know during your booking if you have any special dietary requirements.

In principle, all our trips are suitable for both experienced and novice sailors. The professional crew on board will teach you everything you need to know. In some cases (e.g. on Atlantic crossings) initial sailing experience may be an advantage/requirement. In this case, this will be clearly indicated in the cruise description.
