Seil Senja - Introduction to sailing

Senja in Northern Norway offers the full diverse spectre of norwegian nature at its best. Out here steep mountains rise up from the sea. In the archipelago Bergsøyan right outside Hamn i Senja you can gaze over to long stretched white beaches, enclosed by crystal clear waters in turquoise and blue. The sun shines on the islands in an open scenery, and is simply as close to paradise as you can get. In the summer the midnight sun colours the beautiful landscape.

Surrounded by Senja´s wild, colourful landscape, and unexplored spots, our ambition is to give you an experience you will treasure for a long time after you leave us.

Itinerary

Seil Senja gives you the opportunity to experience contact with the sea and nature of Senja in Norway in a new and exuberant way, without the need for any foreknowledge other than your own curiosity about trying out sailing.

Through our sailing trips we wish to share the fascinating world of sailing with everyone who is looking to experience nature in a different way, where the wind and the forces of nature itself is what brings you closer to the surroundings. You will learn the basics of how a sailboat works, and if you want you get to try out the different tasks on board.

We always start our trips with a talk about security on board and a quick round of theory about the functions of the sails and the boat. After that we hoist the sails and head towards the beautiful Bergsfjord. If the conditions allow for it, we will also sail westwards in the direction of Andenes. Surrounded by some of Norway’s most spectacular mountains on the outer side of Senja, only pulled forward by the natural and eco-friendly forces of the wind, everything should be ready for a truly unique experience of nature which you will hardly forget.
