Our Whale Watching boat,
Rósin or “the Rose”, offers an
absolute innovation in Whale
Watching in Iceland. The boat
is brand-new, it was built the
winter of 2009/2010, and is both
a fast cruiser and an extremely
luxurious Whale Watching boat.
The boat is both safe and quiet,
as well as being equipped with
the latest technology. The boat
has a comfortable heated seating
area as well as large windows for
uninterrupted views.
Skúlaskeið or “Old Skuli”
is an old charming wooden
boat we use for o u r
Puffin Watching Tours.
Old Skuli is the perfect
Puffin Watching boat
as it is especially
designed to get close
to the islands due to
it’s shallow draught,
providing a better view
of the Puffin Islands.
Our Sea Angling boat,
Haffari or “Ocean-
Rider”, is a beautiful
oak boat, especially
equipped for sea angling. In June
2007 Haffari was renewed and
m o d i f i e d ,
making him
the ideal
boat for
sea angling
expeditions.
