- ✓Lovund has ferry connections to Stokkvågen, Sandnessjøen and Bodø, plus express boat in summer

- !Island location requires ferry or express boat from the mainland, which affects travel logistics
Tips from experienced anglers
- 1Book the ferry from Stokkvågen well in advance during summer months -- Lovund is popular due to the puffin colony.
- 2Lovund lies north of 62°N. Cod minimum size is 44 cm outside 4 nautical miles and 55 cm inside 4 nautical miles, and halibut fishing is closed from 20 December to 20 April.
- 3The Træna Deep lies approx. 30–40 km west of Lovund and is known for large redfish, ling and halibut in deeper water -- requires a larger boat and good weather.

The 2026 tourist fishing export quota in Norway is 15 kg of fish and fish products per person aged 12 and over, usable up to two times per calendar year.

Lovund Hotell is not registered as a tourist fishing business with the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries, so guests who fish only from here have no right to export their catch.
