Sørøya is the fish mecca of Norway. Would you like to have a chance to catch the biggest cod, halibut, coalfish, redfish, ling or wolffish? Then you have to go to Sørøya! This location offers an overwhelming fishing area with good variation in bottom structures. These ensure that there is a wide range of baitfish and therefore also large predators.

 

 

Sørøya is one and a half hours sailing from the mainland of the coast of Finnmark at 70 degrees North latitude. Sørøya is Finnmark's largest island and has impressive nature, several small and large fjords, high mountain peaks and particularly rich fishing grounds. It is a true paradise for nature lovers in general but more specifically for anglers. The location we offer distinguishes itself by the best boats you can find on this island, with which you can still sail and fish safely even when the weather is not so good.

 

 

Because not only a lot of fish is caught here, but especially large fish, many anglers consider Sørøya to be the world's best location for sea fishing on both large cod and halibut. It is not surprising that Sørøya in Norway is known as "Stor fiskens rike" which literally means "the land of the hiant fish". Sørøya is known for catching an extremely large amount of cod in the 20+ and 30+ kilo class during skrei season. In fact, professional fishermen regularly catch cod weighing over 40 kilos. There is even record of a fish with a length of 182 cm and 80 kilos that was caught here! The location is fairly sheltered in the bay of Breivikbotn so you have considerably less wind and in combination with the perfect boats you can fish even in less favourable conditions.

 

Fishing in northern Norway is a physical challenge, so sleeping and resting is an important part of your fishing trip. After all, you want to have enough energy to catch the big fish.

 

There are 6 rooms at this location for two persons each. The beds are spacious and comfortable. Furthermore, each room has its own bathroom with shower, toilet and floor heating. Bedlinen, towels, water, electricity and final cleaning are included in the price. From your bedroom you overlook the bay of Breivikbotn and the boats in front of the door.

 

Of course there is also a fileting room available with 3 tables and running water and each group has its own freezer.

 

There is a spacious shared kitchen. Several groups can cook at the same time because there are two ovens, 8 burners on two stoves and three refrigerators. But also pots, pans, plates, cutlery etc is all in stock.

 

Groceries can be obtained in Hasvik which is a 20 minutes drive away. There is a supermarket that has a wide choice of products.
