Meet your crew
A captain with a lifetime at sea and a boatswain who looks after every guest. Two people, one old rescue boat, and your day on the fjord.
Kjell-Morten Ronæs
Kjell-Morten has spent his working life on and around the sea. He holds a D5 coastal skipper certificate and an M1 chief engineer certificate. He sailed for 13 years as a seaman and has worked more than 30 years in oil and gas, over 20 of them as an offshore manager. On board he plans the route, finds the fish and tells the story of RS56 and the King who once stood on her deck.
Kim Kloster
Kim runs the deck. He helps with rods and lines, unhooks the catch and makes sure everyone on board is warm, safe and having a good time, from first-timers to children. When the fish are biting, he has been known to cook the fresh catch right there on board.
Kjell-Morten and Kim, in their words
Kjell and Kim were friendly, knowledgeable, patient with the children, and made sure everyone had a fantastic experience.
Captain Kjell-Morten and Boatswain Kim knowledge of local waters, history and the oil industry is stellar.
Kjel and Kim were such lovely hosts, taking care of all our needs.
