SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for couples or small families wanting stress-free cruising through Norway's inland waterways. The 2021 Greenline is modern, well-maintained, and ideal if you'd rather relax than wrestle with sailing.
Smart eco-features make this boat stand out, solar panels and efficient hybrid-electric systems mean lower fuel costs and minimal environmental impact. The bow thruster is genuinely useful in tight canal locks, and onboard Wi-Fi keeps you connected despite the remote Norwegian scenery.
Solid value proposition at €4,207 per week for a newer, fully-equipped motor vessel on one of Europe's most scenic routes. The 2-cabin, 6-berth layout stretches tight if you're maxing out guests, but works well for two couples or a family of four.
One honest caveat: motor boats lack the romance of sailing, and this particular route (Norwegian inland canals and lakes) demands patience with lock systems and narrow passages, it's leisurely cruising, not a quick getaway. Factor in 3, 4 hours minimum travel from Oslo airport; you'll want at least a week to justify the journey logistics.

The marina & destination
Based at Porsgrunn guest harbour, in Posgrunn, Norway. Skien is operated by Canal Boats Telemark.
Porsgrunn guest harbour sits on Norway's Skagerrak coast in Telemark, giving you direct access to the sheltered inner skerries and island-studded approaches of the Oslofjord within a day's sail; week 1 typically involves exploring the granite-bound channels between Kragerø and the outer approaches, with good holding in protected anchorages between islands. The prevailing westerlies funnel through this region, creating reliable sailing conditions for cruising the rocky, sparsely populated coastline where you can anchor in quiet bays and access small fishing villages by tender. Based here, you can work eastward into the Oslofjord proper or remain in the intricate Telemark archipelago, which offers manageable day passages and escape routes back to the harbour if the weather turns.
