Crusing In The Arctic Circle
For Geir Kaasa and his family, the need for protection, safety and comfort sent them the way of Axopar.

Geir’s boat Ferd ( “journey” in English) has opened the gateway to breathtaking cruising grounds and wildlife that most of us could only dream of seeing.
“We have seen polar bears, walruses and different types of whale during our cruises,” he says. “When the weather is bad it is like being trapped in a black and white movie but when it’s good it is very beautiful.”
“You don’t cruise in this region without knowing exactly what your destination is,” he explains, “and I wanted a boat that could cruise at high speed but offer excellent comfort and protection for my family."
“In good conditions I can cruise at 25 or 35 knots and there isn’t a big difference in fuel consumption but the boat is also comfortable cruising at 22 knots in 1.5m seas,” he continues. “Having twin outboards also gives me peace of mind in terms of reliability.”
