Furrehytter
Sea Fishing in Rogaland 2026
Furrehytter sits on Fårasundet on Bjergøy, one of the Sjernarøy islands in the Boknafjord, in the Ryfylke region north-east of Stavanger. The family-run cabin grend was founded by Fridtjov and Olaug Furre in 1996 and now has 156 beds across 21 cabins and apartments, several built in boathouse (sjøhus) style right on the dock — from some you can fish out of the window. The camp rents out a large fleet of around 31 boats in all sizes. The sheltered sounds and edges between the islands fish well for cod, saithe, pollack and ling. Sjernarøy is south of 62°N, where the cod minimum size is 40 cm and Atlantic halibut is prohibited year-round for recreational catch.

Practical information
What we like about Furrehytter
- ✓Large, well-established operation (since 1996) with 21 cabins/apartments and a fleet of around 31 rental boats of all sizes
- ✓Sheltered sounds and edges between the Sjernarøy islands give safe, varied fishing for cod, saithe, pollack and ling — several cabins sit right on the dock
- ✓Larger rental boats (Furreliner/Grand) come with sonar and GPS, and it is close to Stavanger/Haugesund with ferry and express-boat links
Worth knowing
- !South of 62°N: cod has a 40 cm minimum size and halibut is prohibited year-round for recreational catch — check the rules before keeping any catch
- !Island location requires car + ferry from Judaberg or an express boat from Stavanger — no airport shuttle all the way
Tips from experienced anglers
- 1For the largest rental boats (Grand, Furreliner) you need the Norwegian boating licence or to be born before 1 Jan 1980 — the Pioner boats can be hired without it
- 2Refuel (98 octane) at Joker Eriksholmen, open 24/7 — also carry a full reserve can before heading out
- 3Register your trip and catch in the GoFish app and always wear a life jacket — the hosts give weather advice before you set out
