Jan has been in the charter business for more than 25 years in Norway. He is discrete and goes on with his job without creating any attention – to the guests there are never any noticeable mechanical problems. Jan has lived on the West Coast all his life and his personal contacts make it possible for Anne Viking to visit private places that are not open to public visitors. Together with the Captain he will be able to arrange almost anything that the guests have in mind and makes last minute changes possible should the guests wish to change their schedule as the days go by.

Arild has 10 years experience as an officer on different vessels in the North Sea and along the Norwegian coast. He has a Certificate as a Master Mariner and has worked as a pilot in the area for the past 4 years in addition to 15 years of experience from working on charter boats along the West Coast of Norway. Arild knows the area very well and thanks to his contacts among the local residents, he can make a charter very different from what a foreign yacht can offer.

Arild knows how important it is to have satisfied charter guests onboard and can guarantee that the rest of the crew will do everything possible to ensure that the guests have a pleasurable experience. He looks forward to the opportunity to show the charter guests some of the most beautiful parts of his Norway in good comfort onboard Anne Viking and will not be satisfied unless the charter guests say that they would like to return.
