  • ✓Close to Tromsø Airport (TOS), about 20 minutes by car across the Kvaløya bridge.

Worth knowing

  • !Limited boat fleet. Only one boat model (Kværnø 630), so availability can be tight in high season.
  • !Self-drive boat rental runs in summer only. In winter the staff handles transfers.
  • !Second floor is accessed by stairs only. No elevator in the building.

Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1Saithe bites readily in the tidal current at the fjord mouth. Try pirk or jig at 30–80 m on the turn of the tide.
  2. 2Wolffish are caught best from May to July at 20–50 m using blue mussels or cod fillet as bait.
  3. 3Remember the 15 kg/person/year export quota (age 12+) when packing your catch for the trip home.

Frequently asked questions about Ersfjordbotn Brygge

How far is it from Ersfjordbotn Brygge to the open sea?
It is 12 km from the quay to the fjord mouth and deep water in the Norwegian Sea. In a Kværnø 630 the run typically takes 25–35 minutes depending on wind and sea. Much of the fishing still happens inside Ersfjorden itself, which already has solid depths.
Which boat do you rent, and is it self-drive?
The boats are Kværnø 630s, 6.3 m open aluminium boats from Norwegian builder Kvaernø Boats. They are self-drive in summer. In winter the boats are used for skippered transfers instead, including for ski touring.
Does Ersfjordbotn Brygge have a filleting room and freezer capacity?
Yes, there is a dedicated filleting room on site. Vacuum packers and freezer are available, and staff help with packing boxes for the trip home. Remember the export quota is 15 kg of fish or fish products per person per year for guests aged 12 and over.
Which species are most common in Ersfjorden?
Saithe is the easiest species to land from the quay and holds tight in the tidal current. Cod runs year-round, with skrei peaking February to March. Wolffish are caught best from May to July at 20–50 m. Halibut, redfish and haddock appear outside the fjord mouth toward open water.
How far is it to Tromsø Airport?
Tromsø Airport (TOS) is about 20 minutes by car. The route crosses the Kvaløya bridge and follows county road 862 around the north side of Kvaløya. Ersfjordbotn Brygge offers airport transfers by arrangement.
