Dragin

Dragin is a historic sailing vessel based in Klaksvík. It offers unique experiences at sea in the Northern Faroe Islands. The ship combines tradition, learning, and tourism in one place.

The vessel was restored by dedicated enthusiasts. Today, Dragin sails again as a beautiful and functional ship. It mainly serves as a training vessel for students. On board, young Faroese learn traditional seamanship. They practice sailing, navigation, and life at sea.

During summer, Dragin also welcomes visitors. The ship departs from Klaksvík harbour and sails along the coastline of the Northern Islands. These trips often pass by the impressive bird cliffs near Kalsoy, Kunoy, and Viðoy. Here, steep mountains rise directly from the ocean.

On board, guests can relax and enjoy the surroundings. The sound of seabirds and the fresh sea air create a calm atmosphere. Some tours include light refreshments such as coffee or soup. This adds to the cosy experience at sea.

Dragin also offers private and group tours. These trips can be adjusted to suit different needs. Families, companies, and small groups can all enjoy a customised experience. Guests may also take part in sailing activities. For example, they can help set the sails or steer the ship.

The vessel is approved for passenger transport. It also has modern safety equipment. This ensures a safe and comfortable journey.

Overall, Dragin is more than just a boat trip. It is a chance to experience Faroese maritime traditions. At the same time, you explore dramatic landscapes and connect with the islands’ history.
