Yennefer has already transported herself to the wild isles of Skellige, and to meet her there you must arrange safe passage on one of the ships that are setting sail. Begin by heading into Novigrad, and locating the Novigrad Docks signpost. Work your way around the dockside wharfs, checking your minimap for three possible vessels.
- One is captained by a lady who isn’t interested in heading to Skellige.
- The second is currently captainless. The crew say the captain is off drinking somewhere. This is Captain Wolverstone—his ship is the Atropos.
- The third is moored farther around the harbor. Speak with Captain Liglad aboard the vessel. He’s not interested in sailing to Skellige either, but he does recommend speaking to the drunk and unreliable Wolverstone, who’s currently draining the Golden Sturgeon dry of ale.

The Golden Sturgeon is on the harbor walk, and easy to find. Enter this drinking establishment, and speak to Wolverstone. He is about to set sail for Ard Skellig, the largest of the Skellige islands.
- (1,000 Crowns) Once you hand over some monies, he agrees to take you. You can pause, adventure throughout Novigrad and Velen if you wish before returning, and confirm you wish to leave for Skellige when you’re ready to depart. Main Quest: Destination Skellige now commences.
During the voyage, you’re woken from your sleep by shouts from the deck. The Atropos is being boarded by pirates! Expect around eight of them. Support the crew and tackle the foes nearest you, mopping them up in combat. With the pirates repelled, Wolverstone looks ahead at a fierce storm, and yells at his crew to cut the tether lines to the pirates’ ship. The longboat drifts away, while the Atropos is dashed against an iceberg.
