REYKJAVIK FROM THE WATER

Reykjavik reveals itself differently from the sea. The city’s brightly painted houses, the spire of Hallgrimskirkja and the silver curves of the Harpa concert hall sit against the snow-capped backdrop of Mount Esja, with the open expanse of Faxafloi Bay stretching beyond. Few capitals offer this combination of design, geography and elemental scale within minutes of leaving the harbour.

A privately chartered yacht is one of the most refined ways to take it all in. Departing from Reykjavik’s Old Harbour, you move quickly into open water and leave the sounds of the city behind. Depending on the season, the experience can take in midnight sun cruising in summer, whale and dolphin sightings in the surrounding bay, or an evening voyage timed to catch the first appearance of the aurora over the water in winter.

A PRIVATE CHARTER, SHAPED AROUND YOU

Private Travel Iceland arranges yacht charters with the same attention to detail that defines our wider service. Routing, pacing and timing are built around your interests, whether that means a short sunset outing with aperitifs on deck, a longer cruise toward the islands of Faxafloi Bay, or a winter charter aligned with northern lights conditions. The vessels in our network are selected for comfort, discretion and the quality of their crews.

Onboard, the focus is on space, calm and uninterrupted views. Light refreshments or a more substantial menu can be arranged according to your preferences and prepared in advance. Hotel transfers, harbour coordination and integration with the rest of your Iceland itinerary are handled by our team behind the scenes.
