Perfect way to see the Northern lights away from the city! - One of the best experiences ever! The crew was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The hot tub underneath the northern lights was an out of this world experience, not to mention the food afterwards was delicious!! Would book again in the future!

Aurora sighting on boat with ex navy captain - Firstly, what wonderful people the hosts are! The boat is so comfortable and classy, cosy inside. Our host is an ex captain so he knows his stuff! Saatchi made the most delicious reindeer stew, cooked with time and love. (I always said that I would never eat reindeer stew but it was amazing!) :)
The captain called us up to deck when the lights appeared (so that we didn’t have to stand in the cold on deck). There was lovely coffee and hot chocolate, cookies at our leisure. And then a miracle happened before our eyes! Her majesty aurora came out in all her glory and beauty and she dazzled and danced across the sky all around us! Nobody back home could believe how incredible our pics were! Even people who had visited before said that our show was nothing compared to theirs!
I highly recommend these lovely people!!!!

Overcast Luck - The owners are phenomenal!!!!!!!! The vessel had plenty of room below to get out of cold. The food was amazing. You can tell they really love what they do.
We went out on an overcast night with not much expectation of seeing anything. The Captain was still optimistic that there was a chance. We mothered for a bit and the we saw a break in the clouds. We waited a bit longer and then the Captain’s face lit up. The Northern Lights came out and he got so excited running around the boat to make sure everyone knew. The Captain and his wife both went around offering to take photos of everyone.
Was a great experience and would do it again.

Amazing experience - We capped off our Norway trip with this stunning trip around the fjords in search of the northern lights. Kenneth and Sachi were amazing hosts and truly care that their guests have a most enjoyable experience aboard their gorgeous sailing vessel. We didn’t see the lights, but that’s out of their control, they did provide us with some of the most delicious reindeer soup that we tasted during our trip. Cannot recommend this experience enough.

Hopefully you get a clear night (we didn't) - It was a nice enough way to spend the evening however there are a couple points to keep in mind. First thing, make sure to wear underclothes, as ski pants and other "outside clothes" are forbidden and have to be removed every time going above and below deck. Second thing was that the boat never left sight of Tromso. We had taken the tour after being told that boat tours, like driving tours are happy to take you out as far as it takes to see the lights. That wasn't the priority however and the crew kind of shrugged and referred to the schedule. I'm not complaining but this one really doesn't come with a guarantee of seeing the lights (or at least the standard "we will do everything we can" other companies offer.)
The hot-tub was a nice idea but we found the concept a bit awkward with other visitors of the tour walking about.
Actually it would have been a cool idea if they made the guests introduce themselves (as cringe as that sounds) because at first it felt super awkward sitting across from each other.
The owner of the boat was friendly and chatty however and we really enjoyed conversations with him above deck.
The guest coordinator seemed a bit
