Spend your holiday aboard the world’s first all-electric charter fleet!

In Norway, boating license requirements depend on your year of birth. If you were born in 1980 or later, you must hold a valid boating license (as required by Norwegian law).

Our safety requirement (applies to everyone) Regardless of your year of birth, we require all drivers to have at least two seasons of boating experience, for safety reasons.

Our boats are comfortable and easy to handle, but we want every guest to have basic experience with:

safe manoeuvring
navigation
weather awareness and trip planning
Foreign licenses (EEA / ICC)

If your boating license or qualification is issued in another EEA country, it is generally valid in Norway, as long as it covers the necessary competencies.

ICC (International Certificate of Competence) is accepted only if it includes coastal navigation (Resolution 40).

Other foreign boating licenses may also be accepted if they are equivalent to the Norwegian boating license and issued in: English, or a Scandinavian language

If you’re unsure, feel free to send us a scan/photo of your license — we will gladly verify it for you.

We kindly ask you to send us a copy of your boating license in advance, or present it upon arrival.
If the license rules don’t apply to you, please send us your sailing resume in advance or bring it with you for check-in.


To make sure you feel confident and comfortable on the boat, we will give you a thorough introduction upon arrival. We will go through:
– safety routines

– the boat’s equipment

– the devices on the captain’s console

– practical tips you may find useful before your holiday begins

This introduction takes around 1 hour before you leave the marina.
If you would like even more confidence on the water, we also offer an optional 2-hour training session with our captain.
You can add it during the booking process under Extra equipment.

General Rules
(applies to both coastal waters and the Telemark Canal)

The speed limit is 5 knots when you are close to land (within 50 meters), and this is the most common restriction you will encounter during your trip.

Always follow navigation markers and local signage.
Navigation markers can change position from year to year, and the physical markers always take priority over what you see on the chartplotter.

Other restrictions are usually clearly signposted.

You can also monitor your speed and battery consumption using the onboard instruments.

Telemark Canal

On the Telemark Canal, the speed limit is 5 knots.

When going upstream, you will see:

– green/white markers (sticks) on the starboard side, and

– red markers on the port side.

Keep a distance of around 3–5 meters from the markers.

Coastal waters

In most coastal areas, the same speed limit applies as on the Canal: 5 knots.

Further away from land, speed restrictions may not apply — however, you should always consider the boat’s range:

– at a steady speed of 5 knots, the battery typically allows for around 10 hours of cruising

– the boat’s maximum speed is 10 knots

You can charge the boat at any marina with a standard 16A charging point, which is available at most jetties across the Telemark region — both along the canal and the coastline.

In addition, there is a network of fast chargers (21 kW) located along the Telemark Canal and in Kragerø Rørvik. This allows you to cruise between key harbours without worrying about battery levels.

During check-in, we will show you how charging works and provide guidance on local charging points, so you can relax and enjoy your journey.

At the optimal cruising speed of 5 knots (which is also the maximum speed allowed on the Telemark Canal), you can travel approximately 100 km (57.6 nautical miles) — equivalent to around 10 hours of cruising.

On board, you will always have a clear overview of your remaining battery level and estimated range, so planning your journey is simple and stress-free.

Please note that the solar panels supply only the onboard “house” systems (12V), not the main propulsion batteries (400V).

Approximate range in headwind conditions:

– 4.9 knots – 57.6 nm
– 5.6 knots – 43.9 nm
– 6.2 knots – 33.5 nm
– 7.5 knots – 20.9 nm

No — as long as you return the boat to Porsgrunn at the agreed time, you’re free to explore wherever you’d like within the cruising area.
