Chief One
Our nautical marvel born of a six-month renovation starting in April 2023. The yacht, now boasting three additional cabins and a third bathroom, offers a haven of luxury amidst the Arctic wilderness. With a total of 5 cabins accommodating 2 and 3 passengers, and a spacious mess hall with a common area for tourists-sailors, Chief One beckons those seeking a distinctive Arctic expedition. Modernizations introduced for the adventurous include northern lights chasing, whale and killer whale watching, and snowshoe treks, all complemented by the unspoiled beauty of the north. As you embark on this Arctic adventure with Chief One, relish in the region’s finest flavors. Indulge in delicious breakfasts and dinners prepared with naturally sourced, incredibly fresh regional products—from succulent fish and seafood to savory meats hailing from the pristine regions of Northern Norway. This is your invitation to explore the Arctic’s wonders in unparalleled comfort, discovering the untouched beauty of the north, guided by a crew committed to excellence.
