Legendary Lofoten Fishing
Want to experience the legendary Lofoten fishery? We offer packages with accommodation and guided fishing trips led by experienced local guides.
The Lofoten fishery has been the backbone of life in the north for over a thousand years.
Every winter, history repeats itself as the Arctic cod—known as skrei—returns to the coast of Lofoten, and fishermen, both local and visiting, prepare for the season’s biggest adventure. At Svinøya, tradition runs deep, with original fishermen’s cabins and an authentic fishing village that still reflects its storied past.
The world’s greatest cod fishery takes place in Lofoten!
The story of Lofotfisket is both raw and beautiful, with roots stretching back over 1,000 years. From rowboats and rustic fishermen’s cabins to today’s modern cod fishing – here, you can become part of it yourself.
Practical Information
Departure is usually from Svinøya, but in case of weather-related changes, the trip may be carried out from Sildpollnes in Austnesfjorden. Additional transport costs may apply.
We offer covered facilities for gutting and filleting your catch, as well as options to rent freezer storage and purchase airline-approved fish boxes.
After the trip, you can relax in our floating sauna or enjoy a meal at Børsen Spiseri – our on-site restaurant specializing in Nordic cuisine and seafood delicacies.
