Private fishing trips

Join our experienced guides on a fishing trip in the scenic Kattfjord. The pristine and rich waters off the coast of Kvaløya are a world-class fishing area, well-known for sea fishing for centuries. We’ll teach you everything you need to know, so don’t worry if it’s your first time sea fishing.

About the trips

The experience begins with an introduction to the equipment and techniques. Our guides are experts in angling and are passionate about sharing their knowledge of the local ecosystem. They’ll provide invaluable tips and insights to enhance your fishing experience. All the equipment needed for a successful trip is provided.

If you’d like to take your catch home, we’ll prepare it for you.

After the trip, we’ll enjoy a warm lunch with local specialties in our heated lounge.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, we’ll tailor the trip to suit your experience and preferences, ensuring a personalized adventure.

During our trips, we often have close encounters with local wildlife, including porpoises, seals, otters, sea eagles, and many species of marine birds.

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.

Fishing equipment

Sea fishing in Northern Norway is demanding and the equipment has to be of high quality. All the equipment is included and we only use high end gear, mainly from Shimano.
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. For more information see: Our boats.
