THE VESSEL

Luxury Yacht with a Cozy Saloon

Arctic Queen is described as the newest yacht in the city with a comfortable, high‑standard saloon where warm coffee and tea await; the saloon is the preferred place for many guests while cruising to the fishing area.

THE FISHING

Short Cruise to Prime Fishing Grounds and Fresh Cooking

After a short trip to the fishing area guests fish from a secured platform; while there is no 100% guarantee, the operator reports that success is common and any fresh catch will be cooked on the way back to the city.

THE VIEW

Flybridge Vistas and a Friendly Onboard Atmosphere

For those who prefer views, the flybridge offers the most comfortable outlook in town, and the atmosphere onboard is intentionally warm and inviting — guests can even ask to take the helm for a spell.
