Get to know Brim Explorer

Brim Explorer started from a passion for the ocean. While working in Arctic ocean tourism, Brim Explorer’s co-founders Agnes and Espen saw the challenges presented by polluting, noisy and poorly-designed ships that restricted guests’ experiences and harmed the environment.

With an idea and dedicated partners, they set out to build a ship unlike any the world has seen. In March 2018, Agnes and Espen teamed up with designer Einar Hareide, the shipyard Maritime Partner and a team of daring suppliers to build a unique platform for ocean experiences.

A year and a half later, with the first ship Brim and more to come, Brim Explorer is combining innovative climate technology and experience from the travel industry to create experiences that are truly unique and sustainable.

'Brim' is an Old Norse word that means ‘breaking wave’. And like a breaking wave that brings energy and change, Brim Explorer’s vision is to change the way we experience the ocean.

By creating experiences that bring us closer to the ocean, we hope to leave our guests with a stronger environmental understanding and engagement than when they arrived.

We provide ocean excursions without noise or pollution onboard silent hybrid-electric ships because the epic, rugged, and awe-inspiring Arctic coast deserves to be experienced from a silent, clean, and comfortable ship.

Fred and Carlos were both very good. Could use bigger/more video screens so everyone could see better. Also docking at the fishery took a very long time.

Bien organisé, instructions claires. Équipage du bateau sympathique.

Une petite remarque....pour voir correctement les aurores boreales et les photographier une petite préparation serait bienvenue à l aller....tout le monde ne sait pas qu il faut des filtres spéciaux et qu à l oeil nu on ne voit qu un nuage blanc....c est un peu décevant. Un peu d aide pour les novices que nous sommes nous aurait permis d en profiter pleinement....

Nous avons été ravis et agréablement surprise de la passion et du respect que tout les membres d’équipage avaient pour la nature et le milieu maritime. Ici nous voyons des animaux exceptionnels dans leurs milieu naturel tout en respectant leurs territoires et leurs envie (pas de course aux baleines ou aux orques, si il veulent se rapprocher de vous c’est à eux de décider et non au bateau de manœuvrer pour en être le plus proche possible pour vos photos Instagram). Merci encore à toutes l’équipe pour leurs gentillesses.

The crew was great. The food in the café was good. Paperwork was required to be completed the night before and it was apparent that very few of the passengers completed it ahead of time so that was delaying us boarding the boat, so maybe those instructions need to be clear upon booking.

Très bien, guides enthousiastes ; partie sur la pêche intéressante, celle sur le cuirassé coulé un peu moins dans le contexte de l'excursion.

Bien dans l'ensemble

Nous avons vu orques et baleines de loin mais c est tout de même un bon moment, les bateaux coupés de leur moteur sur le spot rendent le moment sympa en revanche n imaginez pas être sans moteur pendant le voyage plusieurs membres fe l équipage parle français c est dommage que les conférences ne soient proposées qu en anglais !

Il y a avait beaucoup de français à bord ce soir là le personnel parlait aussi français ce qui est très appréciable qd notre Notre niveau d anglais est moyen, seul regret qu il n en ai pas profiter pour doubler les explications en français ça aurait été un plus pour nous!!

très bonne organisation

Sam, our guide, was a marine biologist who was funny, energetic and thoroughly knowledges in these animals. We got a humpback right in the side of the boat and it was almost more exciting to see his excitement. The boat staff was polite and professional and the captain did a captain of a job! …especially being a little sneaky with those silent motors.
