The Selheim family has welcomed guests to its holiday home since 2018, and has run private cruises aboard its own vessel since 2020. That means we know where the current turns at Alverstraumen, which coves are best for a picnic when the north wind blows, and where the fish are most likely to bite. The experience lies in the routes, not in a brochure.
