Best Time to go Yachting

Peak Season: June to August
This is the heart of the yachting season in Northern Europe. Expect long daylight hours - sometimes over 20 hours - calm waters, and comfortable temperatures around 18–25 °C. Ideal for cruising Norway’s fjords, Sweden’s archipelagos, Iceland’s coasts, and the Baltic and British Isles, when marinas and local ports are fully active. -
Shoulder Season: May and early September
A perfect balance of steady winds, mild weather, and fewer yachts in port. Days remain long enough for extended navigation, offering quieter anchorages and beautiful light for photography and coastal exploration. -
Low Season: October to April
Most yachts reposition south or undergo maintenance during this period. The far-north regions experience cold temperatures and limited daylight, making leisure yachting rare though it’s the ideal time to plan your next northern voyage and secure prime summer availability.
