What we like about Herøy Brygge
- ✓Central location on Herøyholmen in the heart of the archipelago, with quick access to both offshore fishing grounds and sheltered waters in Herøysundet
- ✓Hotel with restaurant and breakfast included, open year-round, suitable for couples and families who prefer not to self-cater
- ✓Herøy is known for large halibut, and the area has multiple registered fishing guides and boat operators that can be hired alongside the hotel stay
Worth knowing
- !Herøy Brygge operates as a hotel and does not publicly confirm an in-house boat fleet, filleting room or freezer storage. These must be arranged via external providers.
- !Access requires a ferry from Søvik (about 15 km south of Sandnessjøen) or express boat from Sandnessjøen, so travel plans must be coordinated with the ferry schedule
Tips from experienced anglers
- 1Book rooms and boat rental early for the summer months June–August. The big halibut season in Helgeland peaks from July to September.
- 2Helgeland sits north of the 62°N line, so the cod minimum size is 44 cm in coastal waters and 55 cm in the Lofoten/Vesterålen zone. Check the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries rules before fishing.
- 3Dine at the hotel restaurant. The kitchen serves both simple dishes like pizza and beef tenderloin, and it is one of few year-round eateries in central Herøyholmen.
