Mutine - Arctic Expedition Sailboat

A floating basecamp for ski touring, whale encounters, and remote Arctic exploration. Northern Norway • Year round • 4–6 guests

Mutine is our floating Arctic basecamp — a warm and capable expedition sailboat adapted for remote exploration in Northern Norway.

Available year-round, Mutine is used throughout all seasons for whale watching expeditions, ski touring journeys, and remote sailing adventures.

Life onboard combines wilderness, comfort, and slow adventure: ski touring directly from the shoreline, sharing warm meals after a day at sea, watching northern lights from deck, or waking up anchored in remote fjords.
