S/Y Ylva

Ylva is a 65 ft ketch, designed by the legendary Robert Perry. 

Built in 1987, she is not just a boat; she is a world-traveler with two global circumnaviations behind her.

After having served as a corporate events yacht for Rolls-Royce in Scotland for ten years, Ylva found her way to Arctic waters, and is now based in Tromsø and Longyearbyen. 

When you sail with Ylva, you are not just getting from A to B. She is your moving home base — comfortable, welcoming, and always ready to set you at the heart of adventure. Each expedition begins from her deck, and each day ends with warmth and ease when you return.
