Several days: from Oslo and south
Below Drøbak the fjord opens again, and that is where the trips begin that cannot be done in a day.

Anything longer than twelve hours is priced per day rather than per hour. That is not just an accounting change; it is a different kind of trip.
On a day charter everything is arranged around getting back. On a multi-day charter you tie up in a harbour, eat there, sleep on board, and wake up somewhere entirely different from where you fell asleep. That difference is what people are paying for.
What lies south
Below the Drøbak narrows the fjord opens again. From there down towards Hvaler is some of the finest water in the country: islands packed together, shallow channels, small harbours. It is not somewhere you reach and return from in a day.
Two to three days gives you Hvaler with room to breathe. A week takes you to the south coast, with time to stay put where it is worth it rather than pressing on.
How the price is calculated
The daily rate is fixed per boat. If the charter runs seven days or more we count whole weeks at the weekly rate, which is lower per day. Nine days is therefore one week plus two days, not nine times the daily rate.
The system always picks whichever of the two calculations is cheaper. You do not have to ask.
The skipper's working day
A boat can stay out for twelve days. A skipper cannot work twelve days straight. On longer charters we arrange a changeover or additional crew, and that sits on top of the daily rate.
Worth putting in the budget from the start rather than discovering once the route is planned.
Fuel on long charters
On a day charter fuel is included within the agreed area. On multi-day trips we calculate it from the route and it is stated in the offer. A boat sitting in harbour burns nothing; one running six hours a day for a week does.
We base it on an estimate of how many hours you actually cruise per day, not twenty-four. A boat lying still overnight is not burning diesel and should not appear in the accounts as though it were.
Sleeping on board
Both boats have cabins and heads. Chancer has four cabins and five bathrooms plus separate crew quarters. The Butler is comparable. That means eight to ten people can sleep on board without anyone feeling stowed away.
It is still a boat, not a hotel. The cabins are comfortable and generous by boat standards, which is a different thing from generous by hotel standards.
How to ask
On the request form choose "Several days" instead of a day trip. From and to dates appear with times, and the page works out how many days it comes to while you fill it in.
Tell us where you would like to get to. We know these waters and will say honestly if the plan is too tight.
