TRAVEL & PRICE

Fishing

Maribell is located in Kvaløyvågen on Kvaløya, just outside Tromsø. This puts the destination in one of Northern Norway’s most appealing regions: close to the city and airport, yet directly on the water and surrounded by mountains, fjords and rugged coastal scenery. For anglers, this is exactly the combination that makes a fishing trip both practical and versatile. You stay only a short walk from the boat, with the fishing grounds virtually on your doorstep and the freedom to target different areas depending on weather, season and experience.

This is a fantastic base for sea fishing in Norway. Maribell suits anglers who simply want to catch a few cod or coalfish for the table, as well as dedicated sea anglers specifically targeting bigger fish. That versatility makes it ideal for mixed groups: one angler can focus entirely on heavier fishing while others enjoy shorter, easy-going sessions in sheltered water.

Kvaløyvågen provides access to classic Northern Norwegian fishing grounds. Fjords, current seams, shallow areas, steep drop-offs and deeper water all lie close together. This variety means several species can be targeted within a relatively compact area. In practice, you can switch between pirks, softbaits, bait rigs and lighter lure presentations for cod, coalfish, haddock, redfish and halibut. The area is particularly attractive to anglers who prefer to plan around weather and drift conditions rather than spending the day making long runs.
Cod

Cod is one of the main target species around Maribell. In Northern Norwegian fjord and coastal systems, cod often patrol drop-offs, bottom structure and areas holding baitfish. This allows you to actively search with lures or systematically work promising contours. Maribell is well suited to anglers looking not only for numbers, but also for the chance of better-sized fish. The relatively sheltered setting lets you work several marks methodically without being completely dependent on open-sea conditions.
Halibut

Halibut add an extra dimension for serious sea anglers. Targeting them requires patience, strong tackle and close attention to current, bottom structure and baitfish. The waters around Kvaløya provide the right ingredients: transitions from shallow to deep water, areas where baitfish concentrate and locations where a controlled drift can be maintained. Halibut are never guaranteed, but the opportunity to target them is an important part of Maribell’s appeal.
Coalfish, haddock and redfish

In addition to cod and halibut, Maribell offers good opportunities for coalfish, haddock and redfish. Coalfish can be targeted actively through the water column and often produce spectacular takes, especially when baitfish shoals are present. Haddock are ideal for lighter bottom fishing and add variety to the catch. Redfish generally require deeper presentations and are an excellent additional target for anglers wanting to explore beyond standard cod fishing. Together, these species make Maribell suitable for a wide range of techniques and experience levels.
Freshwater fishing, hunting and nature

Maribell is not only a sea-fishing destination. The area also offers trout and salmon fishing, freshwater angling, hunting, mountain hiking and berry picking. This is a major advantage for families and mixed groups: anyone taking a day off from sea fishing can explore Kvaløya. Nearby Tromsø also makes it easy to combine nature with culture, restaurants and practical amenities. In winter the region is famous for the Northern Lights, while the long daylight hours of the lighter months give maximum flexibility on the water.

Why choose Maribell?

Maribell stands out for its balance of accessibility, fishing and comfort. You are neither isolated far from amenities nor based in a busy setting. Tromsø Airport is relatively close, the city is within easy driving distance, and the accommodation itself is virtually on the waterfront. For international anglers, this means less complicated logistics and more effective fishing time.

Another reason to choose Maribell is the variety of boats and accommodation. Smaller parties can stay comfortably in the sjøhus, while larger groups or anglers wanting extra space can choose Sjøbua 1. The mix of Kværnø boats, a larger Kværnø hardtop and a Jeanneau cabin boat also provides options for different boating and fishing styles, making the destination feel complete and flexible.

Accommodation

Maribell’s accommodation is located directly by the sea in Kvaløyvågen. The atmosphere is practical and maritime, aimed at anglers who want comfort combined with very short walking distances to the jetty and boats. The waterfront location is a major advantage: the accommodation overlooks the fjord and mountains, while the boats are moored roughly ten metres away at the floating jetty. The daily routine could hardly be easier: get up, grab your tackle, walk to the boat and go fishing.

The destination consists of Maribell Sjøbua 1 and the smaller sjøhus Lyngøy, Sandøy and Risøy, providing options for both larger parties and smaller groups. All units are functionally equipped for a fishing holiday, with adequate living space, views, nearby parking and practical angling facilities.
Maribell Sjøbua 1

Maribell Sjøbua 1 is a winter-insulated accommodation of approximately 100 m² arranged over two floors. Located directly by the sea, it is particularly suitable for groups that value extra space. The large living room and kitchen include an oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave and the necessary kitchen equipment. There are three bedrooms with six single beds and one double bed, accommodating up to seven guests.

A major advantage of Sjøbua 1 is its angler-friendly layout. Downstairs there is a dedicated area for cleaning and preparing fish, together with storage for rods, clothing and other equipment. Laundry facilities, a dryer and freezer are also available. The accommodation has one bathroom with shower and two toilets. Outside, a barbecue hut and large veranda with picnic tables and benches make Sjøbua 1 not just a place to sleep, but also a natural meeting point for fishing groups.

Maribell Sjøhus 2, 3 and 4 - Lyngøy, Sandøy and Risøy

The Lyngøy, Sandøy and Risøy sjøhus are compact, comfortable waterfront houses of approximately 50 m², each suitable for up to four guests. The living room and kitchen are on the ground floor together with the bathroom, while the first floor has two spacious bedrooms with four single beds in total. From the living room there is direct access to the terrace and onward to the floating jetty.

These sjøhus are ideal for smaller fishing parties, couples or friends who want to stay close to the boat without needing a large house. The layout is practical and straightforward, with a refrigerator, freezer capacity, satellite TV, electric heating and views of the mountains and fjord. The very short distance to the boats is especially convenient for anglers planning several shorter sessions in a day or wanting to make the most of a good weather window.

Facilities and who it suits

Waterfront accommodation with boats approximately ten metres away.
Suitable for small parties, larger fishing groups and families.
Sjøbua 1 offers extra space, storage and fish-processing facilities.
The smaller sjøhus are practical, comfortable and ideal for four guests.

Maribell is an excellent match for anglers who appreciate a compact, efficient destination. Everything you need each day is close together: accommodation, jetty, boats, storage and fishing water. At the same time, Tromsø remains close enough for a city visit, transfer or additional amenities. This makes Maribell suitable for dedicated fishing weeks as well as combination trips featuring nature, the Northern Lights and relaxation.

Boats & Equipment

Maribell’s boat fleet is clearly geared towards sea fishing in Northern Norwegian conditions. The boats are moored at the floating jetty close to the accommodation and cover several categories: 20 ft Kværnø boats with 70 hp, a larger 22 ft Kværnø 660 HT with 115 hp and a 24 ft Jeanneau 755 Marlin cabin boat with 200 hp. This gives anglers a choice between practical open fishing boats, a hardtop boat offering more shelter and a larger cabin boat for experienced skippers.

Kværnø 20 ft / 70 hp

The 20 ft Kværnø boats with 70 hp are stable aluminium fishing boats designed for sea angling. They offer good deck space, a steering console, seating and rod holders. The boats have Yamaha engines, fishfinder, GPS, chartplotter and electric start. With a maximum capacity of four people, they are ideal for smaller fishing parties wanting a manoeuvrable boat for systematically working the nearby grounds.

This boat type is well suited to everyday fishing around Kvaløyvågen. Its combination of stability, visibility and angling equipment makes it suitable for pirking, softbait fishing, lighter bottom fishing and shorter sessions where speed and simplicity matter.

Kværnø 660 HT - 22 ft / 115 hp

The Kværnø 660 HT is a larger and more powerful 22 ft hardtop boat with 115 hp. The hardtop provides additional protection from wind and rain, a significant comfort advantage in Northern Norway. It is powered by a strong Yamaha engine and equipped with fishfinder, GPS, chartplotter, rod holders and steering console. With a maximum capacity of five people, it provides more space and comfort than the smaller Kværnø boats.

This boat is attractive for anglers planning longer sessions or wanting extra comfort in changing conditions. The hardtop helps keep the crew protected when the weather turns, while the boat remains practical and uncluttered for active sea fishing.

Jeanneau 755 Marlin - 24 ft / 200 hp

The Jeanneau 755 Marlin is the largest boat in the fleet. This 24 ft cabin boat with 200 hp is designed around comfort, protection and capacity. It features a cabin, seating, heating, GPS, chartplotter, fishfinder and rod holders. Doors on both sides provide easy access to the wheelhouse.

For experienced skippers, this boat offers additional possibilities. Its power, shelter and space make the Jeanneau attractive for anglers targeting bigger fish or planning longer runs when conditions allow. Safety remains paramount: choosing this boat should match the skipper’s experience, the weather and the group composition.
Equipment, safety and use

The boats carry the essential electronics for sea fishing: fishfinder, GPS and chartplotter. These improve safety and help locate bottom structure, drop-offs and productive fishing zones. Flotation suits can be hired locally, while fishing tackle is intended primarily for emergencies rather than standard rental. Serious anglers are therefore advised to bring their own rods, reels, lines and lures.

Big-boat fishing is available on request, and guidance can be arranged to point out fishing areas. This does not replace the skipper’s own boating and fishing experience, but can help groups get to know the area more quickly. The fleet fits the destination well: short runs, strong local fishing and boat options suitable for both newcomers with guidance and experienced sea anglers.

Travel & Practical Information

Maribell is located in Kvaløyvågen on Kvaløya, outside Tromsø. The nearest airport is Tromsø Airport (TOS), approximately 30 kilometres away, while central Tromsø is around 35 kilometres from the property. Transfers from the airport or Tromsø can be arranged on request. This makes the location highly practical for anglers wanting a Northern Norwegian fishing trip without a lengthy domestic onward journey.

Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is by 10:00. The supermarket and fuel station are extremely close, at approximately 0.1 kilometres. The sea is around 10 metres away and the boats are likewise moored directly by the accommodation, making day-to-day logistics exceptionally straightforward.
Practical conditions

Boat insurance is included; the excess is NOK 10,000 / 15,000 depending on the boat.
No security deposit is charged.
Credit-card terminal available; payment in NOK and euros is accepted.
Big-boat fishing is available on request, subject to a minimum duration and a maximum of six people.
