The Sredny and Rybachy peninsulas extend several dozen kilometers into the Barents Sea. This is a world of breathtaking Arctic landscapes and salty winds. It’s perfect for gathering speed and then stopping to breathe in the sea air and take some photos. The main attractions of the Sredny peninsula are the famous seid stones (natural objects once worshipped as sacred by the Sami people) — the Two Brothers and the Shore of Red Stones.

We sail from Malaya Volokovaya Bay into the open sea. We admire Cape Nemetsky — the northernmost point of European Russia — and the shores of Norway. The Barents Sea is a true fish treasure. Cod, haddock, pollock, flounder, halibut, perch, and dozens of other fish species thrive here.

Our goal is to reach the top of the modest yet scenic Musta-Tunturi ridge, which rises 250+ meters above sea level. Its name means "Black Mountain" in Saami, and for good reason — when it rains, the granite outcrops darken dramatically, but under the morning sun, they shine with cheerful brilliance.

The view from Musta-Tunturi is breathtaking: dozens of lakes appear to float in the air from this vantage point.

The Kamchatka king crab was introduced to the Barents Sea in the 1960s and has since thrived here. Its shell can reach up to 25 cm wide, and its leg span — up to 1.5 meters.

Crab fishing zones are strictly regulated; the closest one to "Kitovy Bereg" is near Dolgaya Shchel. Once we reach the fishing grounds, we’ll haul up crab traps that were pre-set on the seafloor, pull out the royal catch, and cook it right on board.

We set out from Malaya Volokovaya Bay into open waters. Along the way, we enjoy views of Cape Nemetsky — the northernmost point of mainland Europe — and the shores of Norway.
The day before, we harvest local delicacies — sea urchins, scallops, and mussels — from nearby coves.
Out on the open sea, we prepare and taste them fresh, paired with carefully selected white wine.

The Kamchatka king crab, introduced to the Barents Sea in the 1960s, has adapted well. It grows impressively large — with shells up to 25 cm and legs stretching up to 1.5 meters.

Fishing areas are strictly designated; the nearest one to "Whale Coast" is by Dolgaya Shchel. Once there, we retrieve pre-set traps from the sea floor, harvest our royal catch, and boil it right on board.

During this activity, we provide guests with "Bering" hydrothermal suits: these ensure comfort on the water.

Features of the hydrothermal suit:

• Hermetic waterproof zipper
• Built-in hood
• Three-finger mittens
• Headrest pillow for neck support

The Sredny and Rybachy Peninsulas extend several dozen kilometers into the Barents Sea. This is a world of breathtaking Arctic landscapes and salty winds. Here you can experience the open road, then stop to breathe in the sea air and take some photos. The main attractions of the Sredny Peninsula are the famous seid stones (natural objects once worshipped as sacred by the Sami people): the "Two Brothers" and the "Shore of Red Stones."

We depart from Malaya Volokovaya Bay and head into open sea. Several whale species inhabit these waters, but most commonly we spot minke whales (up to 10 meters long), bowhead whales, and sperm whales (up to 20 meters).

Armed with binoculars, we scan the waves for backs, tails, or fins breaking the surface — and if we’re lucky, we’ll approach a single whale or even a pod.

We sail from Malaya Volokovaya Bay into open sea. On the way, we enjoy views of Cape Nemetsky — Europe’s northernmost mainland point — and the shores of Norway.

The Barents Sea is teeming with life — a true fisher’s paradise. You’ll find cod, haddock, saithe, flounder, halibut, perch, and many more species here.
