Disclaimers
- Catching a Fish is Not Gauranteed
Our crew is committed to providing a memorable and enriching fishing experience, sharing their knowledge of the area and helping you make the most of your trip. While we strive to take you to the best fishing spots, it’s important to note that catching fish is not guaranteed, as it depends on factors beyond our control, such as weather, fish behavior, and seasonal patterns. Additionally, the duration of fishing time may vary from the planned itinerary, and our route is flexible to adapt to the conditions and optimize the experience. Every outing is a one-of-a-kind adventure, guided by nature, offering opportunities to explore, connect, and enjoy the beauty of the Arctic. - Wildlife Sightings Not Guaranteed
Our crew are passionate about pointing out any wildlife observations, including majestic whales, playful dolphins, soaring eagles, and curious seals. However, it's essential to understand that these sightings are subject to nature's unpredictability and cannot be guaranteed. Each moment on our journey is a unique discovery, offering the thrill of unexpected encounters with the wonders of the wild. - Dress to be Outdoors
Rain or shine, you'll be outdoors to enjoy the breathtaking fjord scenery! Dress warmly and bring waterproof layers for comfort. The yacht's cozy interior is available to warm up, with small windows at the water line adding nautical charm.
