Our vessels are lightweight tour catamarans designed for operation in Norways. Additionally, the battery packs on board provide us with the ability to silently approach wildlife with as little disturbance as possible.

Om oss
Vi tror på å beskytte og bevare havet ved å ta med mennesker inn i dets liv, for å vise hvor sårbart og majestetisk det er
Hybrid-electric boats in the fjords of Norway
Our ships Brim & Bard are designed and built with two main philosophical pillars in mind: the guest experience and minimising pollution. This has resulted in what Brim Explorer is today. Providing a comfortable, unobstructed and ‘front-row’ experience for all our guests, while at the same time operating eco-friendly tours with hybrid-electric boats on the fjords of Norway.
The synergy and overlap of these two pillars comes to fruition nowhere better than through the silence of our electric engine. Enabling our guest to hear and experience the fjords better, while at the same time minimising pollution in the Norwegian sea and minimising disturbance and noise for marine life in the fjords of Norway.
5 facts about our (hybrid) electric ships:
- Quiet hybrid-electric engine & propulsion,
- Panoramic windows in the lounges on both decks,
- Norwegian design with recycled aluminium,
- 800 kWh battery pack. Equivalent to 10x Tesla Model S,
- Designed with the guest experience in mind.
