Private Cruise — Half Day

3 hours on the Oslofjord with your own captain. Your route, your pace.

The experience

Your afternoon on the fjord

3 hours on the Oslofjord with your own captain. Your route, your pace.

A private route, planned around what your group wants. You board at Tjuvholmen, meet your captain, and together you decide where to go. Some groups want to cruise past the Opera House, swing by Dyna Lighthouse, and find a quiet cove for a swim. Others want to head straight for the islands and spend most of the time anchored at a beach. It's your call.

Your captain knows the Oslofjord inside out — every hidden beach, every sheltered bay, every spot where the light hits just right in the afternoon. They'll suggest a route based on the weather, the wind, and what your group is after, then adjust on the fly if you want to stay somewhere longer or explore a different direction. The experience is intimate, tailored to your interests, and completely unlike anything you'll find on a crowded tour boat.

Norwegian snacks and soft drinks are included. Bring your own wine or champagne if you like — there's a cooler onboard. Most groups add the champagne and strawberries package, but it's not required. As one guest put it: the experience was "intimate, luxurious, and authentic."

Drone photography is available on most trips (weather permitting). Your captain flies the drone during the cruise and you get the footage afterwards — aerial views of your boat cutting through the fjord, the Oslo skyline behind you, the islands from above. It's the shot you can't get any other way.

"Simon was very flexible, tailoring the itinerary to our interests. The scenery was absolutely stunning."

Simon made us feel immediately welcome and was very flexible, tailoring the itinerary to our interests. The scenery was absolutely stunning and we were all able to go swimming in a cute secluded spot.

Simon took us for a tour of Oslo's waterfront and had great information about the city and history of the area. After, we boated around the islands and coastline to see some of his favorite places.
