Iceland is a breath-taking destination in the Northern Europe. It is a rewarding experience for a wide range of reasons: Historic mansions, delicious cuisine, unique shopping opportunities, scenic coastal landscapes, excellent conditions for all water sports, and of course, beautiful beaches. What's more, this year-round destination is strikingly different and offers winter sports and a whole host of festivities over the Christmas and New Year period.

Reykjavik alone has an abundance of activities, from the golden sands of Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach and peninsular golf clubs, to myriad museums and an electric nightlife. Farther from the capital, discover scenic parks like Reykjanesfólkvangur, a nature reserve with a Mars-like landscape created by volcanic and geothermal activity. Whales, seals and puffins can be sighted along the coast while guests kayak, fish, snorkel or Scuba dive, and arctic foxes roam across the land while you scale mountains, visit icy caves and enjoy a whole season of winter sports.

Five quick reasons to visit Iceland

Dramatic coastlines, Unusual volcanic and geothermal sites, Fantastic nightlife, Thriving modern culture, Captivating wildlife

More about this part of the Arctic Circle

Iceland is ideally positioned west of Northern Europe and Svalbard, with Greenland, Canada and the northernmost corners of the USA farther west. This makes Iceland an ideal destination for a luxury yacht charter itinerary that takes in multiple destinations, particularly on extended cruises by explorer yacht. The region has an abundance of natural wonders, including glaciers, waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal sites of interest and many worthy UNESCO World Heritage Sites both natural and industrial. Winter sports lovers and wildlife watchers will be enchanted with the diversity on offer, while photographers will be richly rewarded with sensational land and seascapes at any time of the year.

The waters are rich in sea life and fishing enthusiasts of all experience levels will have myriad opportunities to catch something delicious to be cooked by your professional on board chef. Scuba divers, meanwhile, will have the chance to try dive sites much different to those of the tropics, swimming beneath glaciers and discovering cold-water corals and seagrass meadows.

Icelandic Yacht Charter Experiences

Iceland is a place of stark contrasts, and this is most prominent in the brilliant bright days and the void-like nights. The play of light makes this destination a photographers’ paradise for unusual sights such as the ice caves and glaciers, and in summer when wildflowers such as arctic cotton is flourishing, the coasts come alive with beautiful bright colours.

The sunlight provides surprising warmth from July through to September, and although it is advisable to bring layers for all weather, it is possible to spend your days outside in T-shirts and shorts. On land, hike through magnificent parks such as the Snæfellsjökull National Park and pass by amazing waterfalls and some of Iceland's flourishing bird species.

The beaches are amazing wherever you travel and vary between golden white sands to black volcanic grains. The coasts around Snæfellsjökull National Park and Reykjavik are particularly spectacular.

In winter, take a helicopter ride into the mountains for winter sports, dog sled across the tundra and marvel at the shifting Northern Lights.

In the water, kayak to beautiful seagrass meadows and coral-covered lagoons, drift dive beneath ice fields as the sunlight pours through the surface. After so long in the cold, warm up in one of the geothermal spas surrounding Reykjavik or dip into your on board Jacuzzi and whale watch while your expert chef prepares a delectable lunch or dinner. As night falls, savour the warm interiors of your luxury yacht as you host your own party to rival the capital's, or have a cosy and intimate evening watching the latest blockbusters as you cuddle up on the sofa.

Even when the weather isn't perfect for outdoor activities, there is still plenty to do during your stay: In addition to Reykjavik's aforementioned nightlife, the capital boasts fantastic cafes, restaurants, boutique shops, international brands and galleries. The museums offer an illuminating look into local history and geology as well as more unusual topics, such as the Icelandic Phallological Museum, where most of the country's marine and land animals are represented.

Things to Consider:

Yachting seasons & climate:.

The heart of winter in December and January sees a low of -3°C/27°F and a high of 3°C/37°F, while the peak summer months of July and August experience a low of 8°C/46°F and a high of 13°C/55°F, which can feel all the warmer in the sunshine. The rainfall is at its lowest during July and August, and heaviest in January when it is more likely to fall as snow.

Sea temperatures average around 5°C/42°F in winter and 11°C/53°F in summer.

Clothing to Pack For Your Charter:

The changeable weather in the Arctic could mean that you are wearing winter layers one day and then T-shirts and shorts the next: A windproof, waterproof layer is an essential item, especially during the winter, as are a good pair of gloves and a warm woollen hat. Clothing should be breathable for sports and for comfort, and layers should be easy to add or remove to suit activity level, the time of day and local weather conditions. Bug spray is also recommended for the summer months to keep away biting midges.

Main Ports and Marinas:

Reykjavik Port (Iceland), Keflavik (Iceland), Rif Port (Iceland), Vestmannaeyjar Port (Iceland)

Famous Restaurants & Clubs:

Dill Restaurant (Reykjavik, Iceland), Matarkjallarinn (The Food Cellar) Restaurant (Reykjavik, Iceland)

A Must See Attraction:

Snaefellsjokull National Park, Londrangar (Hellnar), Svodufoss (Rif), National Museum of Iceland (Reykjavik), Art Museum Ásmundarsafn (Reykjavik), The Culture House (Reykjavik), Gelleri Fold (Reykjavik)

Best beaches to visit in your yacht:

Alftanes, Búðir, Grótta, Reynisfjara, Breiðamerkursandur, Vestrahorn Beach, Raudasandur, Sandvik Beach

Best time to go:

When to go is dependent on what you want to do and see: There couldn't be more of a difference between the winter and summer months, making Iceland a destination you could return to and discover even more. Summer is when the wildlife awakens and birds flock to the shores for mating displays and nesting. Daylight hours are long and this is a fantastic time for water sports and sunbathing along the various beaches. In winter, the landscape is covered in a thick blanket of snow for dog sledding and other winter sports. This is the best time to visit ice caves and dine or party beneath the Northern Lights.

YOUR GUIDE TO ICELAND

STEEPED IN NATURAL WONDERS

Dramatic fjords, peaceful shores and crystal-clear air make Iceland a wonderful cruising ground for superyachts. It’s a country steeped in natural wonders, with jagged landscapes carved by vast volcanic eruptions, bubbling geothermal lagoons, mineral-rich mountain lakes, plunging waterfalls and misty, cinematic canyons, like a scene from The Lord of the Rings.

Your Guide to Iceland

Wonderous Landscape

The north coast features jagged, geologically younger peaks and waters teeming with sealife. Natural wonders here include the storied Goðafoss waterfall, the eutrophic Mývatn lake and the old trading station town of Akureyri, nestled at the head of Iceland’s longest fjord. Akureyri is often branded as the capital of the north, and it comes alive in summer, with al fresco dining, verdantly flowering gardens, open-air concerts and long sunny days spent lounging by the pool (despite its proximity to the Arctic Circle).

iceland yacht charter

Atypical Destination

Iceland, today, isn’t your typical yacht charter destination. But as a pioneer in expedition charters to less accessible territories, Y.CO is planning to help put Iceland on the superyacht map by offering yachts for charter in this unique and captivating destination.

iceland yacht charter

Sturdy Fisherman

Grímsey is the northernmost inhabited landmass in Iceland, about 40 km off the coast of the mainland and the only part of the country that is genuinely in the Arctic. Sail here on your charter yacht and you’ll find a community of sturdy fisherman harvesting the rich fishing banks that surround the island. It’s home to just 100 people, in comparison to its one million seabirds.

All the Fjords

The East Fjords and West Fjords are different again, and just as beautiful – peppered with quaint old fishing villages and immersed in folklores of their own. The East Fjords stretch for 120 kilometres from Berufjörður in the south to the small fishing village of Borgarfjörður Eystri in the north, with hiking trails, lava caves and countless other natural phenomena in between. Here you can visit the amazing Álfaborg, believed to be the home of the Queen of Iceland’s elves. It’s also home to herds of wild reindeer — the only place in the country where you’ll find them.

iceland yacht charter

Dive into the Depths

A Picturesque Isthmus

The West Fjords, facing the east coast of Greenland and connected to the rest of Iceland by a 7-km-wide isthmus, are geographically remote and so often overlooked by visitors to Iceland. They’re home to the lively little town of Ísafjörður, the extraordinary 400-metre-bird cliff Látrabjarg (mobbed by millions of puffins, northern gannets, guillemots and razorbills), and Vigur island, where you can visit Iceland’s oldest windmill and view the mountains in all their majesty from the sea.

iceland yacht charter

Every Day Diversity

Straddling the Eurasian and North American plates, the Greenland Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, a circumnavigation of Iceland by yacht would reveal an immensely complex and varied geology — powder-topped mountains, churning oceans, evergreen forests and landscapes so lunar-like that astronauts once trained there. Every day on a yacht charter here would provide an unforgettable snapshot of that diversity – a spot of whale-spotting in the morning, a visit to a herring museum before lunchtime, a dip in a bubbling mud pool or a zodiac cruise out to an uninhabited, ice-age island in the afternoon, then a long, indulgent dinner on the deck of your superyacht, the sky lit by a soft, glowing sun.

REASONS TO VISIT

WHY WE LOVE ICELAND

iceland yacht charter

Explosion of Colours

Most commonly imagined under a blanket of snow in winter, Iceland is also captivating in summer. National parks explode into a kaleidoscope of greens, oranges, reds and browns, puffin colonies pitch up in their thousands, the beautiful highlands become ripe for hiking, a pink sun simmers in the sky until midnight, and not a week goes by without some cultural event or village festival popping up. Unpassable areas in winter reopen for visitors. Days stretch into infinite evenings. And travelling the Icelandic coastline by superyacht is an amazing, fluid way to experience it all.

iceland yacht charter

Natural Paradise

If you’re lucky enough to encircle part or all of the country by boat, you’ll see just how diverse it can be. The south is a land of windswept black sand beaches overlooked by colossal glaciers such as the volcanic glacier Eyjafjallajökull. Rivers flow from its meltwaters into rushing waterfalls. The land is dramatic, ancient and very much alive. Reykjavík, the world’s most northerly capital, is a jolt of energy amidst the wilderness – creative, quirky and free-spirited, with a dining scene to rival any southerly European capital, a magnificent old harbour and knockout views of the flat-topped mountain Esja.

iceland yacht charter

Reasons to Visit

True Isolation

There are 18 ports in Iceland, each with their own opportunities for exploration, while a superyacht charter in Iceland of course gives that opportunity to stop wherever the mood takes, often in a bay or fjord with nothing but the sky and surrounding peaks for company. The cities and port towns offer art, culture, music, and a thriving culinary scene, but true isolation, equally, is yours for the taking.

Superyacht Charter Iceland

Iceland Yacht Charter

Private Yachting Cruises in Iceland

Formed by the pure, raw energy of glaciers and volcanoes, an Iceland superyacht Charter offers a fascinating landscape – from flat plateaus and mountainous peaks, to ice cold glaciers and steaming thermal springs. Small towns and villages are clustered on the edge of dramatic fjords and thunderous waterfalls. Rent a crewed motor or sailing boat with YPI to have the best cruising possible in Iceland. This is an example of a nine day yacht charter itinerary for Iceland. Yacht charter itineraries are created individually for every client based around personal preferences and how you want to spend your time onboard your superyacht in Northern Europe.

Superyacht Charter Rejkavik

Hubble Bubble

Once settled on your superyacht in Rejkavik, the northernmost capital city, head straight off with your private guides to explore the Reykjanes Peninsula, a UNESCO Geopark – your first taste of Iceland. Walk across the Mid Atlantic Ridge at the only point in the world where it comes ashore on the Bridge between Continents linking Europe and North America. Head to Gunnuvher, a bubbling, boiling area of thermal springs and steam vents – also home to Iceland’s largest mud pool. Visit the fishing village of Grindavik set in the lava fields. Finally, immerse yourself in the warm, mineral rich geo-thermal waters of the Blue Lagoon – perfect to ease the kinks after your flight. For cocktails and dinner explore the vibrant town of Rejkavik; try The Lobster House for wonderful fish and seafood or perhaps The Food Cellar with great cocktails and piano bar.

Superyacht Charter Grundafjordur

Grundafjordur

Journey to the centre of the earth.

Arrive in Grundafjordur overlooked by the Kirkufell Mountain. Earlybirds may like to take a pre-breakfast stroll to the Kirkufellsfoss – the waterfalls at the base of this spherical mountain. After breakfast, head for the Snaefellsjokul National Park with your local guide team. Make an attempt at the Snaefells mountain – a stratovolcano topped by a glacier, made famous by Jules Verne who used this mountain as the starting point for his famous novel; more recently it will be recognisable to fans as locations in the Game of Thrones blockbuster series. Take a snowmobile or snowcat to reach the summit. Go underground at the 8000 year old Vatnshellir lava cave; visit the black sand beach of at Djupalonssandur or Black Pearl Beach, so named for the perfectly smooth round pebbles of lava. Snap the money shot of the Snaefellsjokull glacier through Gatklettur – a hole in the rock which perfectly frames the glacier. Finally, enjoy a delicious dinner on board your private motor or sailing yacht.

Superyacht Charter Flatey Island

Flatey Island

Birds galore.

Wake up as your private superyacht arrives at Flatey Island. This is the largest of a group of 40 islands in the bay of Breidafjordur. The colourful, well-preserved houses are over 100 years old – great for your Instagram. See the fertility god Freyr fashioned from driftwood by artist Jon Gunnar Arnason.. Visit the church: the ceiling mural is of the local landscape and residents of the island. Jesus is depicted wearing an Icelandic sweater. Enjoy the scenery as the motor or sailing boat cruises to the Latrabjarg Cliffs, the westernmost point of Iceland. These impressive cliffs – the largest sea-bird cliff in Europe - are home to countless nesting seabirds such as puffins, gannets, razorbills, fulmars and guillemots. The photogenic puffins will pose obligingly providing more Instagram moments. Cruise round the and north-western coast of the Westfjords to the stunning Arnafjordur. Enjoy a gourmet dinner on deck in these magnificent surroundings under the midnight sun.

Superyacht Charter Isafjordur

Horseriding and Hiking

Make an early start to hike to the Dynjandi Waterfalls or take the superyacht's tender ashore to its base. Dynjandi are the largest falls in Westfjords, cascading down 100m of tiered rock. Enjoy a late breakfast while the yacht continues its journey around the craggy coast to Isafjordur, the capital of the Westfjords, first established as a trading post in the 16th century. Take a stroll around the town; visit the Maritime Museum and the Museum of Modern Life for a true insight into the Icelandic culture and day to day life. Hike to the top of Naustahvilvt, 500m high, known as the Troll’s Seat, overlooking the town. Horseriding can be arranged with treks through the valley or take to the water for some kayaking. A private visit can be arranged to Aedey Island, home to one farming family breeding Eider ducks for the production of Eider down. Head into town for dinner – try Tjoruhusid for great fish and seafood or stay on board for another gourmet feast from your chef.

Superyacht Charter Hornstrandir

Hornvik, Hornstrandir

Outlaw country.

Wake up off the spectacular Hornstradir National Park. There are 580 square kilometres of stunning views including what was formerly known as the Western Horn, Hornbjarg, which has cliff peaks reaching 534 metres above sea level providing habitat for many seabirds. This nature reserve is a haven for wildlife; with no roads and uninhabited by humans since the 1950’s, the Arctic fox, the birds, seals and plantlife have all thrived. Spend the day with your professional guides exploring this wonderful wilderness. Hike to the top of the spectacular Hornbjarg; trekking south, see Iceland’s most northerly glacier, Drangajokull, in the distance. Keep your cameras at the ready for any wildlife spotting – the arctic fox particularly is unafraid of human contact since hunting has been banned for many years. Hike through the lowlands in the footsteps of Iceland’s famous outlaw Fjalla Eyvindur – the man of the mountains. After a long day, soak in the hot tub sipping a cocktail before enjoying dinner in the tranquillity of your private luxury boat.

Superyacht Charter Siglufjordur

Siglufjordur

Herring heritage.

An overnight cruise brings your superyacht to the pretty town of Siglufjordur. Siglufjordur’s interesting heritage was as the main processing port for herring on the north coast and it is still reliant on fishing – although no longer for herring. Now it is a nice well-established town. Visit the Era of Herring museum to learn of the challenges faced. There is also a pictorial memorial to be seen in the Photographic Museum. The town’s second claim to fames is as the setting for the dark TV drama ‘Trapped’. Golfers can finally get their fix at the 9 hole course just outside the town and shoppers can hunt for some local handicrafts. Take the kayaks for a tour of old shipwrecks or go hiking in the surrounding mountains with local, knowledgeable guides. Visit the Folk Music centre located in one of the oldest houses in the town, Madame House, to see recordings of people playing folk instruments, chanting poetry and nursery rhymes. Take a tasting tour of Icelandic beers at Segull 67 brewery before enjoying dinner in town.

Superyacht Charter Husavik

Bay of Houses

Superyacht Charter Akureyri

Crossing the Arctic Circle

Walk to the north of Grimsey island to cross the Arctic Circle; see the large concrete sphere marking the current position. It is calculated that by the year 2050 the Arctic Circle will have moved north beyond the island and, indeed, Iceland due to the shifting in the earth’s axis. See thousands of birds, including puffins, perching on the basalt columns of the cliff face. Cruise south into the Eyjafjordur past the island of Hrisey to the capital of the north, Akureyri, with your private motor or sailing boat. Akureyri is immediately identifiable by the distinctive Akureyrarkirkja, the Lutheran Cathedral designed by Guojhon Samuelsson in the 1940’s. See the impressive Botanic Gardens which thrive in the microclimate of the one of the northernmost cities. Head to Glerartorg Mall for some shopping or follow the Glera river along the walking trail. Enjoy the lively evening scene in town. Try the local beer Viking or why not bathe in beer at the Kaldi Beer Spa?

Superyacht Charter Dettifloss Falls

Dettifloss Falls

The father of the falls.

After a hearty breakfast on board your superyacht, professional guides will collect you to drive you inland to the most geologically active area in Iceland, Myvatn. The lake, at 277m above sea level, provides panoramic views of boiling mud pools, surreal formations in caves and craters in the lava fields wetlands rich in birds and plantlife. Experience hot spring bathing at Myvatn Nature Baths. Take a dog sled ride with Siberian Huskies across this stunning landscape. The trip will continue to Godafoss – the ‘waterfall of the gods’ – a hundred foot wide spectacle of water tumbling over the cliff. Adrenaline junkies may like to take a separate trip to the Jokulsa Austari – the East Glacial River Gorge - do some exhilarating whitewater rafting. Return to the yacht for a farewell cocktail party organised by the crew.

Superyacht Charter Dettifloss Falls

Disembarkation

The following day, enjoy a champagne breakfast onboard your crewed superyacht and some last minute souvenir shopping ashore before heading for the airport for your connecting flights home.

The ethereal Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun provide extraordinary experiences that only Iceland can offer. With such an array of natural phenomena, every day brings a new spectacle to capture your imagination.

Beyond the unique scenery, Iceland’s seas are brimming with marine life. Sailors can often spot playful dolphins, puffins, and even majestic whales in their natural habitat. The thrill of witnessing these creatures up close from the deck of a yacht is an experience like no other.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Iceland

When planning a sailing adventure in the enchanting waters of Iceland, choosing the right vessel is crucial for the experience. At Yachting.Rent, we provide both sailing boats and catamarans, ensuring we cater to all your sailing needs.

If it’s an intimate and traditional sailing experience you seek, our fleet of sailing boats is ideal. These vessels are perfect for closer encounters with Iceland’s nature, weaving through the narrow fjords and close to the dramatic cliff faces. The maneuverability and agility of a sailing boat provide an unmatched sense of connection to the wind and the sea, offering a journey as exciting as the destination.

On the other hand, our catamarans offer an excellent choice for those seeking more space and comfort. With their double hulls, catamarans provide more stability than a monohull, making them a popular choice for families or groups. They feature larger living spaces, both inside and out, perfect for enjoying the panoramic views of Iceland’s stunning landscapes. With their shallow draft, catamarans allow you to get closer to the shore, perfect for exploring secluded bays and inlets.

Both our sailing boats and catamarans come equipped with modern navigation and safety equipment, ensuring a secure and enjoyable sailing adventure. Our expert team at Yachting.Rent will guide you in choosing the perfect vessel based on your needs and sailing skills.

Nearby sailing areas

  • The Sea of Norway
  • The Arctic Ocean surrounding the Norwegian Sea, Scandinavia’s peninsula to the east, and northern Iceland to the west.
  • Sailing from Reykjavik’s Old Harbour to the Norwegian Sea
  • Set off from Reykjavik, Iceland, towards the Faroe Islands, Bergen, Haugesund, and Stavanger, Norway.

Locations to visit

Visit the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik , where you can see Hallgrímskirkja, the enormous Lutheran church in the south-eastern part of the city center, before embarking on your sailing holiday. Built between 1945 and 1986, it is made of concrete; it has a spire of 74.5 m and was planned by Guðjón Samúelsson.

Explore the Harpa , a concert hall made up of steel frames and glass panels in various shapes and colors. You can see a famous metal sculpture named the Sun Voyager as you walk through the city’s old port, evoking the form of a Viking ship sailing towards the setting sun. Another landmark not to be missed is Perlan , a building that initially housed geothermal hot water. It’s a museum today, with a panoramic terrace and a revolving restaurant.

Stop by the Faroe Islands and visit the old city of Tórshavn, the capital of the islands. This town is packed with wooden houses with grass roofs, and the thoroughfares are lined with local shops. The cultural center is to the north, offering theatre, dance, and music performances in a contemporary, urban space. The national museum presents items from the Viking age and various church decorations.

In Bergen , where you can explore the beauty of the fjords. You can also indulge in fishing or take any amount of hikes. To give you an outstanding view of the fjords, visit the funicular that will take you up to 320 m. Next, go to the Bergen Aquarium, home to many fish species, including Vitus, Dodraugen, and Ping Kong, a treat for both young and old alike. On the quay in the center of town, you can find Bryggen and the fish market district, where you can also see some traditional fishing houses. You can find local restaurants offering cuisine based on fresh fish caught the same morning, such as lutefisk, a specialty of dried fish served with green pea purée, bacon, and potatoes.

Stop at Haugesund and see the monument to Haraldshaugen, a Norwegian national memorial to honor the first King of Norway’s memory, Harald Fairhair. Continue your visit to the church of Vår Frelsers, designed in the Norwegian red-brick style, located in the town center. This church, built-in 1901, can accommodate up to 1,050 people! Do not skip the Haugesund Theater and Concert Hall Festiviteten, where local shows are performed. Please continue exploring the city with a visit to the Karmsund Civic Museum, which houses a comprehensive collection showing Haugesund’s past, mainly it’s fishing and maritime industries.

At Stavanger , go and see the Swords in a Rock, a historical monument to commemorate the battle of Hafrsfjord. Visit Preikestolen during a hike or climb, an imposing cliff rising 604 m above the waters of Lysefjord. Guaranteed thrills!

Rent a boat in Iceland and sail in style

Charter a yacht for a week with or without a captain. You’ll find what you’re searching for, from a motorboat, a sailboat or even a yacht.

Do you need a license in Iceland to charter a yacht?

If you want a bareboat yacht charter, you need a license; here are some examples of sailing qualifications:

  • INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCE: Your European sailing authority issues this certificate upon request, and you can automatically apply for specific national sailing qualifications.
  • RYA Credentials: You will be eligible to take a bareboat charter from Iceland if you have the following qualifications, including Day Skipper (sail or motor endorsement), Coastal Skipper, or Yachtmaster.
  • American Sailing Association (ASA): Widely recognized is the ASA 104 Bareboat certificate.
  • US Sailing: The Certificate of Foreign Proficiency is generally recognized, and, in many cases, the Bareboat Cruising Certificate is also accepted.

When renting a yacht, what should I consider?

The key points to remember are what your budget is if you have the requisite sailing experience and expertise to run the boat (if it’s not going to have a skipper), with whom you’re sailing, where exactly you want to go, and what the weather would be like on your trip’s proposed dates.

What should I think about before I hire a yacht or a boat?

Before you book, you should consider having the skills to manage the yacht charter or boat rental and where you want to go with the weather. If it looks like the weather will be cold and warm, bring warm weather and cool weather clothing and note that it will be cool on most nights at sea.

Luxury Yacht Charter in Iceland: The Ultimate Guide

Destinations  >  Regions  >  Northern Europe > Iceland

Location spotlight: A thrilling Yacht Charter in Iceland

Iceland is one of the most remote, volcanically active and sparsely populated countries on the planet. It rests on the edge of the Arctic Circle and has an incredibly diverse topography that includes mountains, lava fields, glaciers, farmlands, fjords, lakes, and rivers.

With a craggy coastline a little over 3000 miles long, Iceland has plenty of potential for surf exploration. Without crowds to push the search for empty breaks further afield, much of the Icelandic surf scene is centred around the Reykjanes Peninsula. This peninsula points southwest into the North Atlantic and plays host to a range of surf spots, from lava reefs to boulder points and black sand beaches

What kind of experiences are there to enjoy on a luxury yacht charter in Iceland?

The troll peninsula.

A must for a YACHTZOO yacht charter in Iceland is The Troll Peninsula. It is every skier’s dreamland, with about 90% of the mountains skiable, meaning there are not many cliff faces or flat spots. The mountains are the perfect mix of steep to very steep couloirs and faces, to wide open low-angled glacier runs. What really sets the Troll Peninsula apart from any other heli-ski destination is the fact that you can ski up to 1300 metres, which runs all the way down to the ocean. There are plenty of slopes for skiers of all abilities, from very extreme terrain suitable for pro riders to nice, gentle areas for first-time heli-skiing. The Mountains of the Trolls are up to 1500 metres (or 5000ft) high, but you can, in many cases, ski the entire vertical all the way down to the ocean. The average heli-ski run is around 900 metres (or 3000ft) in a vertical drop. Due to the northerly position, there is no tree skiing in Iceland, in fact, the local joke is that if you get lost in an Icelandic forest, you just have to stand up!

4WD excursions

For another high-octane option, we can arrange with Pelorus to take you to explore the national parks of Iceland in specially modified 4WD vehicles for use in rough environments,; in the mountains or on glaciers. These re-engineered trucks can tackle the most extreme conditions in Iceland. Re-building the body and the frame to fit engineered 38-inch tires plus upgrading suspension and drivetrain. The trucks were used to drive to the Magnetic North Pole with the British TV show Top Gear in 2007, where they carried the presenters and film crew over 1400 km over sea ice, boulder fields and small islands.

Wildlife spotting

Whilst cruising onboard your yacht during your luxury holiday in Iceland, keep a weather eye out for over 20 species of whale, from the prolific humpbacks to the more elusive fin whale, the second largest whale species after the blue whale, therefore the second largest mammal on the planet. Other species, such as dolphins and minke whales, are common but occasional visitors are blue whales, orcas, pilot whales and sperm whales

65-(BH_05478)-AT

When is the best time to go on a luxury Yacht Charter in Iceland?

Whilst the summer is the easiest time to cruise Iceland, the Westfjords are cruise-able all year round and it is safe to do so.

Where to visit on a yacht charter in Iceland?

Langjökull (the long glacier).

Langjökull (the Long Glacier) is the second largest in Iceland. It covers an area of about 950 km² and most of it rises to between 1200 and 1300 m above sea level. Until now, what lay beneath the surface of the Langjökull glacier had been a mystery, known only to a small group of scientists and glaciologists. You will reach the foot of the glacier by helicopter and meet a world-renowned glaciologist, who will bring you into the heart of the tunnel, where you’ll learn about this massive undertaking. You will enjoy lunch beneath the glacier, in specially heated tents. The setup will be a cosy affair in a unique location with a beautiful view over the Eiríksjökull and Langjökull glaciers.

Silfra Fissure

Silfra, one of the world’s most exceptional snorkelling and diving sites, is located on top of the tectonic plates between Europe and America. The Silfra Fissure runs through Thingvellir National Park, which is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Iceland. Discover this spectacular underwater landscape as you float in crystal clear water for a true bucket list experience. The captivating underwater colours of Silfra are sure to leave you thirsty for more. The endless varieties of blue, along with the amazing visibility, make Silfra a unique site all year round. Snorkelling and diving in Silfra will give you the opportunity to explore the depths of the crevasse as you float peacefully through the waters.

Iceland Hot Springs

There are hot springs all over Iceland, not only the famous Blue Lagoon but also smaller secret ones across the North and inside the national parks. The Icelandic tradition of bathing outdoors in volcanically heated pools dates right back to Viking times. A few of these old pools survive today – often sited in spectacular locations – whilst almost all settlements here, however tiny, have installed geothermally heated swimming pools with accompanying hot tubs.

The characteristics of this water are unique in many ways. It contains a large amount of minerals, is alkaline and well suited for bathing. Due to its chemical composition, bacteria do not survive in the lagoon, meaning that it is naturally pure and hygienic water.

What are the major yachting ports in Iceland?

Of course, no trip to Iceland would be complete without a visit to Reykjavik, a great yachting entry port that showcases some stunning restaurants and charming streets. Not only this, but it is also home to Mjolnir Gym, where you can train with superstars of the UFC and try your hand at mixed martial arts. One of Iceland’s most famous athletes, UFC mixed martial artist Gunnar Nelson, trains at the club and his father, Haraldur Dean Nelson is one of the founders of the gym. Irish mixed martial artist Conor McGregor also trains at the gym.

Isafjordur is a small, friendly, ice-free port on the northern side of Westfjords. It is a useful staging post for a trip to Greenland, allowing extended cruising there.
