Built in 1936, Arnafjord is a restored heritage vessel. Its boatbuilding history and traditional interiors give the journey a distinctive maritime setting.
During construction in 1936, the boat was named Arnafjord 4, and after completion was briefly Arnafjord 1 until it took over the name Arnafjord at the end of 1937. Olav Vevik was the name of the boat builder who built Arnafjord. He was from Kvinnherad, but traveled to Arnafjord where he brought people with him to help with the construction. When the boat was finished, they had it towed to the Wichmann motor factory in Bømlo.
There they had a two-cylinder "Rubagbord" of 50 hp installed. This engine is still in the boat. This is possibly the only engine of this type that is still in a boat. M/S Arnafjord was mostly leased to various wholesalers and warehouses in Bergen, and went along the coast of Western Norway.
Today, the boat has been fully restored and is available for various types of assignments.
