We are staying here in the middle of the town of Hammerfest with its typical arctic charm. Unlike most destinations, you stay only 5 minutes from the centre of Hammerfest in a state-of-the-art complex with its own harbour and with a view directly to the sea! 
 
One of the unique features of this location are the boats. With 26 feet, extra wide and 200 HP and a cabin, this is the ultimate fishing boat and the biggest and best available in all of Norway. This allows you to get further and to unfished spots. Take for example the prime location on the north side of the island of Soroya. A vast area of more than 500 km2 with depths of 20 to 30 meters where it is truly teeming with halibut. This is the ultimate halibut spot we fishermen dream about. With these boats you are at the edge of this super spot in just 30 minutes. 
 
In less than 45 minutes we sail to the island of Rolvsoya where there are a large number of fishing spots. And if the weather is less favorable we sail into the Soroyasundet where there are also lots of spots, currents etc where we can also fish perfectly. So in short: this is a perfect halibut location!
 
This top location sets the new and highest standard for a fishing trip to Norway. It is not the cheapest, but it offers the best fishing, boats and accommodation. Furthermore, there is a sheltered filleting area close to the boats and you can also rent fishing equipment.
 
Restaurant Bølgen is right next to the Lodge, where you can enjoy top quality meals. The starting point for fishing could not be better, weather permitting you have the opportunity to fish at the best fishing spots outside Sørøya, Rolvsøya or the Sørøyasundet with its countless halibut, cod and pollock spots.
