We offer 6 guests the opportunity to join our crew.Unique opport unities along the way Rather than head out to the ocean from Isfjord\, we plan on making this trip a special experience by first following the Spits bergen coast and anchoring at the most beautiful locations we can find. So me options are Belsund and Recherche fjord\, Hornsund with the majestic Ho rnsundtind and the polish research station there before the journey contin ues past South Cape. A pit stop at Bjørnøya (Bear Island) is often prohi bited by weather\, but given some luck we can spend a night under the bird cliffs as its inhabitants head south for the winter like us. Finally\, th e last part of the tour will follow the Norwegian alpine coastline towards Tromsø\, our destination.Do you have what it takes? The Barents Sea is a tract of ocean that demands respect from those who ventures to cross it. The cold water from the shallow eastern seas mix with the Atlantic warmer water. The autumn weather is also unpredictable. This is a proper sailing experience that will test your nerve\, and let you be part of a sailing cr ew at sea. Any questions about this tour?
