Náttfari

Náttfari

Náttfari, built in Stykkishólmur in 1965, is typical of Icelandic herring boats used in the 1960's and 70's. Náttfari was later used for trawling, net and line fishing until 1990 and then left idle in Reyðafjörður until North Sailing bought it in 1998. During the following winter it was renovated and its hold converted to a 50 seater dining room. Náttfari has proved to be a highly suitable whale watching boat, possessing the highest crows nest of North Sailing’s fleet and providing good visibility for passengers all around the boat.
