It was a great trip, everyone caught some cod, saw jellyfish, saw eagles and seagulls diving into the water. We caught a few big cod to have for lunch, delicious. A great time!

The boat is beautiful, well maintained, and historic and the crew is friendly and competent. We went to a few different fishing spots, caught a lot of fish and released some of it (I only got one little fish, not sure if I was unlucky or lacked the technique, but other people were a lot more successful, there is definitely fish down there!). The backdrop of sea and mountains was beautiful throughout the trip. It drizzled a bit on and off but they gave us thermal suits that pretty much protect you from all the elements. We had plenty of fish to eat on board (boiled in sea water, simple but good), and even some leftover fresh fish fillets to take home, for those who wanted it. Hot tea, coffee and juice available too during the trip. Learned some interesting stuff about the boat and fishing industry in Norway. Would definitely recommend for those who like fishing and fish (although you don't have to fish, one can also do it as just a boat trip). I would do it again if I find myself back in Tromso.

Beautiful family experience. Super super super friendly and very competent staff. We had a family trip with a 4 year old and he didn't find the time at all long.The crew is very patient with him. We recommend this activity 100%:)
