DEEP SEA FISHING
The best fishing is, so to speak, right outside the door, a 10-minute boat ride away. We fish halibut, redfish, cod, saithe, haddock, catfish and in fact many more varieties. Whales, porpoises and seals are often seen. Our professional fishing guides find the best places based on fish type, day, weather and current. Angling is a hobby that everyone easily enjoys! And being at sea is in itself a powerful experience.
You can have your own boat, or go fishing with us.
BOAT AND ACCOMMODATION: If you have the package "Fisherman's friend", both boat and apartment are included. It costs NOK 5,000 per day. We will then show you the fishing spots.
