What we like about Adventure Senja (Skrolsvik Kystferie)
- ✓Classic halibut village with Andfjorden right outside the door -- Skrolsvik has deep halibut-fishing heritage and its own Kveitmuseum
- ✓Mixed fleet: four 19-ft Kværnø boats for fjord fishing plus one 25-ft Beneteau Barracuda with heated pilothouse for tougher conditions
- ✓Southern tip of Senja gives short access to Andfjorden and the inner Senja fjords, and the Skrolsvik–Harstad ferry shortens the drive from EVE
Worth knowing
- !Remote location -- the nearest larger grocery store is in Stonglandseidet, and off-season opening hours on the island are limited
- !Prices are not listed on the website -- you have to contact the camp for a quote, which makes quick comparison difficult
Tips from experienced anglers
- 1Andfjorden is renowned halibut water -- best from August to October, with regular spring catches too. Halibut under 84 cm must be released alive, and the closed season December 20 to April 20 applies north of 62°N.
- 2Take the Skrolsvik–Harstad ferry if you fly into Harstad/Narvik (EVE) -- it cuts the drive substantially versus going around via the E6 mainland route.
- 3Visit the Kveitmuseum in the old Dragøy og Torgersen fish factory to understand the halibut tradition before heading out on the fjord.
