Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1Book apartment and boat well ahead -- the camp runs Thursday-to-Thursday weeks and the May to August high season fills early.
  2. 2Ask for the Pro Guide trip if you want to try deepwater fishing for halibut or large saithe around Frohavet.
  3. 3Remember that Frøya sits south of 62°N, so the export ceiling is 18 kg of fish or fish products per person from a registered tourist fishing camp in 2026.

Frequently asked questions about Gurvikdal Havfiskesenter

What kind of boat do I get at Gurvikdal Havfiskesenter?
The centre runs nine identical 21 ft aluminium boats with seating for six. Each boat has a Honda four-stroke engine, a 9-inch Raymarine plotter with fishfinder, AIS transceiver, GPS and a 55-litre fuel tank. One boat is included in the price of every apartment.
Which species can I target around Frøya?
Frøya and the Frohavet sea give solid fishing for cod, saithe, ling, haddock and wolffish through the season. Halibut occurs in the area, but recreational halibut fishing is closed south of 62°N in 2026 -- and Frøya sits south of that line.
What does a week at Gurvikdal cost?
Weekly rates range from 15,000 NOK for the smallest 4-person apartment to 20,500 NOK for the largest. A 21 ft boat with engine and electronics is included. An extra bed is 750 NOK per week and the booking fee is 200 NOK. Fuel is paid by consumption.
Is there a filleting room and refrigeration?
Yes. Gurvikdal has a dedicated cleaning and filleting room, a refrigeration room for the catch and an on-site ice machine. Remember the 2026 export rules: 18 kg of fish or fish products per person from a registered tourist fishing camp, with the catch gutted and packed to the required standard.
How do I get to Gurvikdal Havfiskesenter?
The nearest airport is Trondheim Værnes (TRD), around two hours by car. From Trondheim follow FV714 towards Orkanger, on to Hitra and then through the subsea tunnel to Frøya. After the tunnel turn off towards Nordskag and follow the signs to Dyrvik. From Sistranda it is roughly 20 minutes further.
