An absolutely fantastic experience – nothing beats the thrill of catching your own fish while taking in the stunning views of Ålesund from the water. The boat was comfortable, the guiding was top-notch, and the excitement when the line tugs is something you have to feel for yourself! To top it all off, we got to enjoy our fresh catch – it truly doesn’t get any fresher than that. A brilliant day out, highly recommend!

Cracking fishing trip, last minute booked on the day.

Kevin_N, Jul 2026

If it’s a bit windy then the ship will get rocky and follow the contours of the waves, proper authentic fishing boat. The staff were great, they baited up for you if you wanted them too, we caught Ling, Mackerel and other fish which the crew filleted and fried up as a delicious treat. We hauled in a crab basket too and ate freshly cooked crab legs. Absolute cracking day in scenery of the Norwegian fjords and Islands. Proper pinch yourself moment. If the sea scares you or you suffer with sea sickness then avoid windy rough days. Money well spent and a good four hour experience if a lifetime. Thank you Captain and Matt

Amazing guide

Shannon_H, May 2026

Our guide was amazing. We loved visiting with him. He made sure we were comfortable. The boat was comfortable plenty of room and bathroom facilities. We caught many fish. He made sure we caught fish or would move on to another spot. It was wonderful. Great local guide who gave us tips for the rest of our trip. We enjoyed asking questions about the area and he was very knowledgeable being a retired geologist.

We joined the fishing...

Malte_M, May 2026

We joined the fishing trip with high expectations and unfortunately left a bit disappointed. The captain was very friendly and clearly did his best, but he was alone on the boat and it seemed difficult for him to both guide the guests and keep the boat in the best fishing position at the same time. Because of that, we did not really get a proper fishing experience. It was also unfortunate that the trip was on May 17th, which is Norway’s National Day. We tried to book on Wednesday it was canceled, Saturday it was also canceled. Finally we had to make a decision if we still want to go fishing on Sunday or not. While we were out at sea, the celebrations and parades were taking place in Ålesund, so we felt like we missed an important part of the local experience as well. Overall, the captain was kind and professional, but the organization and setup of the tour could definitely be improved. Especially for the price for the trip.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you again for your feedback! We are truly sorry that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Our captain always aims to give guests the best possible experience at sea, and we appreciate your kind words regarding his friendliness and professionalism. As discussed, this particular tour requires a relatively high minimum number of participants in order to operate, and outside of the peak season this can occasionally create operational challenges and lead to cancellations or adjustments. Nevertheless, we fully understand your expectations regarding the quality and focus of the experience, particularly considering the nature and price of the tour. We also understand your disappointment about joining the tour on Norway’s National Day and therefore missing parts of the celebrations in Ålesund. May 17th is indeed a very special occasion here, and we completely understand why this felt unfortunate. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will use it to continue improving both the organization and overall guest experience on our tours. Thank you again for visiting us, and we sincerely hope you still enjoyed your time in Norway and on the water with us.

Fish, fish, fish, and more fish.

This fishing trip was the experience of a lifetime. We couldn't keep the fish off the line. Ben and Arne were exceptional guides--knowledgeable, fun, and full of facts about the area and the geology.If you like to fish, any why else are we talking, have a go with these guys in their natural born habitat.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for this amazing review! We are thrilled to hear that the trip became such a memorable experience for you — and even happier that the fish were biting all day long! The staff will be very pleased to hear your kind words. They are truly passionate about both fishing and sharing the nature, history, and geology of the area with our guests. Thank you again for joining us out on the water, and we hope to welcome you back to Ålesund for another adventure in the future.

An experience we won’t forget

A Nordic Angling Adventure: Ålesund fishing If you’re looking for a fishing destination that balances raw natural beauty with a high success rate, Alesund fishing is the absolute jackpot. I recently returned from a trip there, and it wasn’t just a vacation—it was a masterclass in deep-sea angling. The Highlights • The Daily Haul: We hit the water with high expectations, and the ocean delivered. We caught an impressive amount of Coalfish and Pollack. Both species put up a fantastic fight, making every reel-in an absolute blast. In heavy snow storm catching fish is a challenge!!! Beyond the fishing, the hospitality was second to none. We were able to sit right at the bridge, which offered a front-row seat to the navigation. We spent hours engaged in funny, lighthearted conversations with the Captain, whose stories and wit made the time between bites fly by. It truly felt like being among friends. From start to finish, we were incredibly well looked after. The crew handled everything with professional ease, ensuring we were comfortable and the gear was always ready to go. What struck me most about Ålesund fishing was that there was always something new to see and experience. While cruising the coastline, we saw local kids and teenagers hard at work building an enormous wooden bonfire (Slinningsbålet) for the upcoming Midsummer festival. Seeing them stack pallets by hand into such a massive tower was a fascinating glimpse into the local culture
