What we like about Ringstad Resort

  • Modern seaside rooms, apartments in a restored boathouse and holiday houses in a sheltered harbour at the outer edge of Bø i Vesterålen
  • Boat rental and organised fishing and kayak trips, plus eagle safaris by catamaran, straight from the resort
  • Own seafood restaurant with views over the sea and mountains

Worth knowing

  • !More of a design/nature resort than a pure fishing camp — filleting and freezing facilities for your catch are not confirmed on the current site
  • !Remote location at the outer edge of Vesterålen (about 50 km from the airport at Stokmarknes/Skagen)

Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1Arrange boat rental and a fishing trip when you book a room — fishing is one of several activities here, not the core business
  2. 2Bø sits where the fjord meets open sea — check the forecast and ask the resort about the best fishing spots nearby
  3. 3Ask whether you can handle and store your catch on site, and read up on the tourist-fishing rules before travelling home
