The North Atlantic Ocean surrounds the 18 islands of the Faroe Islands. No point in the Faroe Islands is further than five kilometres from the ocean. Sailing is a fantastic way to experience the beautiful landscapes of the islands, offering completely different views compared to the ones from the land.

You can discover these views of the Faroe Islands by sea while sailing with ships, boats, or even an old schooner. Some of these ships or schooners are old and have a great history, making the journey even more interesting.

Some offer scheduled trips, while others offer tailored trips according to your wishes.

PRIVATE SIGHTSEEING OR FISHING TRIP WITH A SKIPPER

Experience the Faroe Islands from the sea, with front-row views of the islands’ most breathtaking spots, like Drangarnir sea stacks and the iconic Múlafossur waterfall in Gásadalur.

CHARTER A FAROESE BOAT

Explore the fjords of the Faroe Islands with a Faroese boat. Whether you enjoy fishing or just sailing along the seashore, this is a unique experience for a family or a group of friends. You can also book guided fishing tours that include a meal using what you catch!

Boats can be chartered with or without a skipper, provided you hold the required qualifications. When you charter a boat, it is suitable for onboard accommodation. Anchoring in the marina, you are in the heart of the town or village. You may use your marina as a base and make sightseeing tours with your boat. Alternatively, you could visit other rural villages, mooring overnight in local marinas.
