Journey:

This sailing adventure covers two amazing destinations, Iceland and Greenland and crossing of famous Denmark Strait. In the thousands of miles covering the coasts of Eastern Greenland there are only 7 settlements, these settlements are home to only 3500 residents and we will be visit five of them. It is one of the last wild places in our hemisphere where people are still living a traditional way of life. Our yacht will sail between spectacular icebergs of Sermilik Fjord the most iceberg productive fjord in Greenland. Sermilik Fjord is a big fjord west of the village Tasiilaq. The name Sermelik translates to 'place with glaciers' in Greenlandic. The fjord is full of icebergs as it's fed by several glaciers. We will see numerous whales and seals in their natural habitat, we may be even lucky to see a polar bear wandering the shore. We will hike the mountains above the giant ice river Knud Rasmussen glacier. We will pay a visit to an abandoned second world war army base. Eat fresh fish and wild berries harvested and caught by Inuits. Anchor surrounded by breath taking scenery, and experience first hand the land where the sun never fully goes down. We will experience the real taste of isolation but also lively atmosphere in native settlements. In our opinion this is the most amazing sailing experience of a lifetime and pictures in your camera will be beyond expectations.

The return from Greenland to Iceland will be by small plane from Kulusuk back to Reykjavik.

The adventures are led by either our Chief or Senior Instructors Danny, Ales or Simon the passages will be a combination of day and overnight passages to make the most of your time exploring this extreme place. Our skippers are Yachtmaster Instructors so whether you are an experienced sailor or novice they will be able to pass on some tips along the way.
