Excursion is subject to a minimum number of participants.
Board MS Symra – a classic 39-foot fishing cutter dating back to 1917 – for an authentic taste of Lofoten's coastal fishing tradition, open to all regardless of experience. The boat is a classic example of fishing in Norway, rooted in generations of coastal tradition.
Under the guidance of a professional crew, you’ll use jigging reels to catch fish like pollock, haddock and mackerel. Between February and April, it is possible to also catch skrei (Arctic cod), one of the highlights of seasonal fishing in Norway.
No two fishing trips are the same as we make the best of the day’s conditions. Our location will depend on the weather and where the fish are likely to be. But it’s an all-around enjoyable day at sea, with an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, learn about authentic Norwegian fishing and experience fishing in Norway as it has been done for over a century.
