Cruise along the historic Telemark Canal with its spectacular locks and lakes, explore the wild coastline around Kragerø, or take a dip in the quiet bays near Langesund.
We provide detailed route suggestions and local tips so you can make the most of your journey – whether you want to relax or explore.

Sustainable and Effortless Boating

With a 100% electric engine, our yachts offer quiet propulsion and a range that lets you cruise without worrying about the battery.
You’ll have full control of your energy consumption on board – and plenty of charging points along the route.
Charging is possible in every marina with access to electricity (overnight charging). 
There’s a network of fast chargers along the Telemark Canal that allows you to charge 80% of the battery capacity in 3 hours. You’ll also find charging stations along the coastline.
Examples of range in headwind:
●    4.9 knots: 57.6 nm

●    6.2 knots: 33.5 nm
●    7.5 knots: 20.9 nm
