Lofoten Fishing Experience

Lofoten Fishing Experience

Welcome onboard an authentic fishing boat with a professional crew that can provide the best guidance on this 3 hour fishing trip from Svolvær.

Fishing in Lofoten varies greatly with the season, and fisheries have been a central feature of Lofoten’s history and has in many ways contributed to building the country. Your vessel on this tour is MS Symra, a traditional fishing cutter who turned 100 years old in 2017. Symra is a comfortable boat, originally built specifically for fishing in Lofoten. The trip includes sea fishing with a line wheel, and you will be served coffee onboard along with stories from Lofoten. If you catch fish you will also get a taste of the fresh catch that will be prepared onboard and served with flatbread and sour cream.

Notes: This experience is a hands-on fishing excursion aboard a historic Lofoten cutter, using traditional line-wheel fishing methods. The maximum number of participants on this excursion is 12 guests. The vessel is equipped with 10 fishing stations, which are shared among participants. Suitable fishing equipment, along with floating and waterproof work clothing, is provided. Guests are advised to wear warm, layered clothing appropriate for changing weather conditions, as well as shoes or boots that can get wet. Sea conditions may vary, and although the vessel is traditional and stable, movement on open water is possible. Deck surfaces can become wet during active fishing, and the environment reflects a working maritime vessel rather than a leisure cruise. If fishing is successful, the fresh catch is prepared onboard. Species availability and catch size vary by season and natural conditions, and fishing success cannot be guaranteed. Please note that there are no restroom facilities onboard.

A minimum participation is required to operate all Yachting Land Adventures, and some may have limited capacity. All adventures in the SeaDream Yachting Land Adventures are subject to change. Final departure times will be published on-board.
