  • 12 well-maintained Kvaerno boats with Garmin GPS, AIS, and GoFish safety tracking -- top-tier safety
  • Complete all-year destination with restaurant, hotel rooms, apartments, sauna, jacuzzi, and guided tours

Worth knowing

  • !Open-sea exposure can bring rough conditions -- weather may limit fishing days, especially early season (March/April)
  • !Fishing season limited to April-September for boat rental; winter fishing only via Big Boat Charter

Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1April is the best month for large skrei cod (20-30 kg+). May, August, and September are best for halibut (40-60 kg+)
  2. 2Watch the boat and safety briefing video before you start -- it is mandatory and saves time on arrival day
  3. 3Bring warm layered clothing, hat, and gloves even in summer -- it can be cold at sea inside the Arctic Circle
