Pollock ahoy

5.00An excellent 4 hour tour with Ryan who is an excellent host on his great boat. Went with my 2 kids and father. We toured around and caught a lot of pollock. Caught some mackerel and other smaller fish. We released most of them but enjoyed 3 on the barbecue that evening. We had a break on a small island and Ryan gave us some hot drinks and snacks which were good. Ryan was a jovial, knowledgeable and generous man who had extensive experience. I would book again without any hesitation. The kids immediately wanted to come on another trip!
Must do in Norway

5.00We enthusiastically recommend Ryan! He really came through for us on a last minute request to see the beautiful islands and nature around Kristiansand. Even with some wind and waves, we felt very safe out there on the harbor. And Ryan clearly has safety in mind from the moment you climb into his comfortable boat. Ryan's just good company to boot! Also, prompt and clear communication beforehand. And the island waffle picnic near the end of our tour was a great, not to mention tasty, touch. A heartfelt THANK YOU, Ryan, from both of us!

5.00We had a wonderful week in Norway last week. We went out to sea with Ryan on two days and fished for cod and pollack. We had a lot of fun, Ryan sailed all the good fishing spots with his boat and gave us a decent catch. Ryan and his boat with an echo sounder are just a dream. Ryan is super professional, has all the tricks in store to catch fish, just wonderful. It gives you all the possibilities to catch every fish, whatever the weather. At noon we had a nice break with home-brewed coffee and home-caught smoked fish. We can only recommend everyone to take a fishing trip with Ryan. It's going to be a beautiful day. Many greetings from the Echosounder professionals.
