Arctic Sky is chartered whole boat; we do not sell individual berths or cabins. | Type | Monohull sailing yacht | | --- | --- | | Model | Delphia 40 | | Builder | Delphia Yachts, Poland | | Year | 2013 | | Length | 11.95 m | | Beam | 3.94 m | | Draught | 2.27 m | | Cabins | 4 | | Berths | 8 berths, all in cabins | | Heads | 2 | | Engine | 55 hp | | Fuel capacity | 210 litres | | Water capacity | 320 litres | | Guests, skippered | Up to 6 guests | | Guests, bareboat | Up to 8 guests | A 2.27 m draught is deep for an 11.95 m boat: she uses the normal deep anchorages and harbours, and the skipper plans around shallow bays. ### How the cabins are laid out - Three double guest cabins - One bunk cabin — taken by the crew on a skippered voyage - Two heads ## Equipment Only equipment confirmed for Arctic Sky is listed here. ### Navigation and safety - Autopilot - Chartplotter at the helm - Radar ### Saloon and cabins - Heating below deck - Pillows and blankets for every berth - Hot shower ### Comfort and equipment - Galley with stove, oven, fridge and sink - Full set of galley equipment - Sprayhood over the companionway - Bow thruster - Tender with outboard ## Life on board Below deck, the saloon is the centre of the boat. It is heated, dry and warm enough to sit in base layers while the outside temperature is below freezing. Wet gear lives forward and stays out of the living space. Meals are cooked on board and eaten together around one table. Breakfast is early on active days and slower on passage days. There is no service hierarchy on Arctic Sky: the crew sail and cook, and guests help when they want to. Nights are quiet. At anchor there is no engine noise, and in most cases no other boat within sight. In winter the cabin lights go down early so the sky outside stays readable; in summer you learn to sleep in daylight. A day on board settles into a rhythm within about 48 hours. Sail, land, walk or ski or watch, return, eat, sleep. That rhythm is most of what guests describe when they talk about the trip afterwards. ## Practical information | Home berth | Eidkjosen, Tromsø | | --- | --- | | Other bases | Harstad | | Season | Year-round | | Bareboat | Available bareboat or with a skipper | | Boarding | Boarding 16:00–19:00 | | Disembarking | Disembarking 07:00–09:00 | | Bareboat requirements | We accept a range of sailing licences.
