Sylfiden - sightseeing and boattrip from Ålesund

With over 110 years of history, Sylfiden is a living piece of Norwegian maritime heritage and a true gem of the fjords.

During the Prohibition era, she served as a smuggling boat along the coast, and she has even transported King Haakon VII himself. Today, Sylfiden lets you explore the fjords and islands around Ålesund in majestic style. For a day, you can feel like royalty, surrounded by an atmosphere of exclusivity and elegance that few other experiences can offer.

As her name suggests, Sylfiden is sleek and elegant, often referred to as the “ballerina of the fjords”. She is a one-of-a-kind luxury yacht, built in mahogany in 1911, designed by Carl Gustaf Pettersson (1876–1953).

Pettersson was a renowned Swedish boat and vessel designer, responsible for over 1,000 boats, mainly recreational crafts. He is particularly known for developing the iconic “Pettersson boat”, a design that has become a hallmark of Scandinavian boatbuilding.
