To approach the wildlife and explore the stunning Arctic environment, we utilize specialized dinghies that are considerably larger, more comfortable, and better equipped than the standard Zodiacs typically used in similar expeditions. These dinghies are specifically designed with the unique challenges of the Arctic climate in mind, ensuring both safety and comfort even in the most extreme conditions. Built to adhere strictly to Norwegian maritime regulations, each vessel is certified to carry a maximum of 12 passengers along with a crew, allowing for an intimate and exclusive experience without compromising on safety or performance.
Hårek is a 27-foot boat, constructed in 1994, has proven its durability and strength over many years of Arctic travel. It is powered by a robust 330-horsepower engine, providing ample power to navigate the sometimes harsh and unpredictable conditions of the Arctic. HAREK is fully outfitted with an array of safety and communication equipment to ensure a worry-free voyage. The boat includes a life raft designed to accommodate up to 16 passengers in case of emergency, an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon), SARSAT (Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking) system, and all necessary pyrotechnical equipment. For medical emergencies, the boat is stocked with a comprehensive first aid kit, and it is equipped with a mounted VHF (Very High Frequency) radio for reliable communication. To assist with navigation, it features a chart display system that ensures precise and accurate route mapping.
