Itinerary
We sail past the Government Buildings on “Tinganes”. A perfect photo opportunity.
On this trip we will stop for an hour or so to engage in fishing with the same equipment that the Faroese fisherman used when the ship was a fishing vessel in it’s glorious past. The equipent is called “Snøri” (snoeri) and is surprisingly easy to manage. When a larger fish is on the hook, the retrieval is considerably easier than using a fishing rod.
While fishing the cook will spoil our guests with hot beverages and something sweet to bite into.
We will prepare our famous Prima fish soup with local bread and the catch of the day on the side. Beverages will also be offered.
The meal can be enjoyed on deck or at the handcrafted table in our cosy forecastle.

Please Note:

- Setting sail and experiencing the unique feeling of travel by wind alone is something everybody must enjoy at least once. Still, you have to accept the possibility that the sails can not be set due to the day’s sailing conditions. Also the time available may prevent us from setting sails.
- We want to make the tour available to as many guests as possible, The scheduled trips, available for individuals, are a part of this effort. However, the ship has to function as a business to ensure funds for maintenance and repairs. Therefore we have to insist on a minimum of eight guests for the scheduled trips with individual bookings. It may be postponed or cancelled if your trip has fewer than eight guests. We will make sure that you are informed twenty-four hours before the event so that you can make alternative plans.
