From sea to plate
When was the last time you tried something exciting with a group of friends or your colleagues? Join a trip with an experienced fishing guide to learn sea fishing, filleting and how to prepare your catch. We teach you everything you need to know, so do not worry if you have never tried sea fishing before.
About the trips
The day starts with a fishing trip of 3 hours on the scenic Kattfjord, 35 km from Tromsø. On board you will also get an introduction on how to take care of the catch and fillet it. When we return to land, the grill is ready and we prepare the day’s catch together. If the weather allows it, we enjoy dinner on the quay, if not, we will enjoy it inside the lounge by the fireplace.
The trip start at Lauklines (Vasstrandveien 578, 9108 Kvaløya). We also offer pick-up in Tromsø.
Fish species
The scenic Kattfjord and the rich waters off the west coast of Kvaløya offer an exciting sea fishing experience, where you can catch a variety of species such as cod, coalfish, haddock, wolffish, and halibut.
Fishing responsibly
The marine recourses are not endless and there are regulations for sea fishing in Norway, which we of course follow and share with you during the trip. During the fishing trip we will also teach you how to handle the catch correctly to improve the quality. We follow minimum and maximum sizes and when it comes to vulnerable spieces, we practise catch and release, as an example, release big halibuts.

Our boats
The Arronet 30 SPT is a unique boat model that we have been involved in developing ourselves. We designed it to create the ultimate boat type for our trips. The boats are 9.4 meters long and 2.8 meters wide. They are built with a focus on comfort, safety, and maximum deck/fishing space. The boats have a center console with seating under a roof for shelter from the weather. They are equipped with state-of-the-art chartplotter, echosounder, radar, and VHF from Garmin. The boats have 2×150 hp Yamaha engines, which means we can quickly reach the best fishing spots.
