Spacious boats and sheltered location in the North

Just a few kilometres south of the island of Sørøya is the harbour town of Øksfjord. From this harbour the ferry leaves to the island of the "giants". At the beginning of Øksfjord lies this well-equipped fish camp. Because it is located in the fjord, it also offers protection in case the wind is a little too strong. At the beginning of the fjord there are sandbanks for lovers of flatfish and as you get closer to the mouth of the fjord and the currents and depths increase, the fish become larger and more numerous.

Storboen is about 30 minutes away by boat. This underwater mountain is a few square kilometres in surface area and with the tidal currents there is always action here. But be sure to try your luck at the corners of the fjords. Where the waters cross, large fish are caught. Wolffish, cod, halibut, haddock, coalfish and so on. There is also a lot of halibut caught in this area. So be prepared for this!

At the southern tip of the island of Stjernøya there is such a halibut hotspot. Less than 30 minutes by boat from the fish camp there are different and varied underwater structures. For the redfish and wolffish it is also recommended to fish the sides of the fjord where the redfish are found deeper than the wolffish. During our trip in June we caught a lot of large wolffish but also good cod and halibut.

At this location we have several apartments with a very comfortable and good level of finishing.

Nilsen 1 included 1 boat. (3 bedrooms/6 persons)
Nilsen 2 included 2 boats. (4 bedrooms/8 persons)

All apartments have a fully equipped kitchen with oven, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and coffeemaker. The apartments also have a spacious living room with dining area and sitting area with sofa and TV and there is Wi-Fi available. Each unit also has a shower and toilet. Bedlinen, towels, water, final cleaning and electricity are all included as standard. And the best part is that 1 fishing boat is also included in the price of the house!

The houses are all relatively close to each other (walking distance) and therefore it is also very suitable for small and larger groups. On the way to the boats there is a spacious supermarket where you can get all your necessary groceries.

Oksfjord has a central building where each house has its own locker room for the rods as well as its own freezer. There is also an extra central freezer available for extra capacity. Here you can also process your self-caught fish and pack them neatly before you freeze them.

Upon arrival of each group a deposit of NOK 5.000 (€ 585,-) must be paid. Upon departure this amount will of course be returned. This can be done by credit card or cash.

On the pier of the harbour there are several filleting tables (not sheltered) to process the caught fish. After processing the fish, it is important to dump the fish remains with the boat at a distance from the harbour. As the pier with the boats is located directly behind the petrol station, you can easily refuel. Refuelling is done by credit card and can be done 24/7.

The available fishing boats are the widely proven and praised Kvaerno aluminum boats of 21 feet / 6.6 meters. They have a small roof above the console for more comfort and also 100 HP engines. All boats are of course equipped with gaf and there is a Garmin echomap 92 SV GPS-plotter / fishfinder mounted. These boats were put into service in 2022 and are suitable for 4 anglers.

There is also one 23 feet boat with a 300 HP engine available.
