  • Port of Gøtuvík

    The harbour of Gøtuvík is a beautiful, quiet harbour. The wide bay this is a natural choise for anchorage, and will exclusively be marketed as a such. There are two quays for dinghies to enter. There is no current in the bay and the tide has a maximum change of 1 m. under normal curcumstances. Gøtuvík is a destination well suited for expedition ships because of the small and picturesque villages full of tradition, culture and history. Furthermore, the locals are eager to show their village, their home, their food, their home-knitted products and their animals to guests visiting. We are thinking of this as a sustainabe experience where some lucky guests can visits into the hearts of the locals, while the local community gets supported in return.
