Catch your own dinner
When was the last time you shared a truly exciting experience with your friends or colleagues?
Join us for a guided sea fishing adventure where you’ll learn how to catch, handle, and fillet your own fish. No experience needed—we’ll teach you everything. After the trip, we cook your fresh catch together on the quay and enjoy it in our cozy lounge.
An unforgettable experience from sea to plate.
About the trips
The day begins with a 3-hour fishing trip in the scenic Kattfjord. You’ll learn about the area’s most important fish species and the techniques used to catch them. You’ll also take in breathtaking views, spot local wildlife, and hear fascinating stories about the region’s history.
On board, you’ll receive guidance on how to handle your catch and fillet your fish. Once back on land, the grill is ready and we prepare the day’s catch together.
If the weather allows, we enjoy dinner on the quay. If not, we gather in our cozy lounge by the fireplace, sharing a freshly prepared meal and memories of a great day at sea.
The trip start at Lauklines (Vasstrandveien 578, 9108 Kvaløya). We also offer pick-up in Tromsø for an additional fee.
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.

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.
