From Briksdal in Norway to M/S Sara in Bohuslän
M/S Sara has a history that dates back to 1976, when the vessel was delivered as Briksdal by Selje Bruk AS to Olden Dampbåtlag A/S in Stryn, Norway.
The name Briksdal is closely associated with the Norwegian fjord and coastal landscape, where passenger vessels have long played an important role in transport, tourism and local communities. Before becoming part of Selin Charter’s operations, the vessel had her background in Norwegian coastal and fjord traffic, where smaller passenger boats are often used to connect places, destinations and nature-based experiences.
This history makes M/S Sara more than a modern charter boat. She carries a Nordic tradition of coastal traffic, passenger transport and sea-based experiences – from the fjord landscapes of Norway to today’s tours in the Bohuslän archipelago, Strömstad, Kosterhavet and along the Swedish west coast.
At Selin Charter, M/S Sara has found a new role as a flexible and appreciated vessel for experiences, transfers and special arrangements in northern Bohuslän.
