If fishing means adventure to you try this. We take you 500 miles North of the Arctic Circle, 70º 52’ N where the nutrient rich waters of the Barents Sea attract arctic salmon, sea trout, halibut, cod, Norway haddock, and giant Kamchatka crabs. |
This is a different kind of fishing: In the Barents Sea, part of the Arctic Ocean, all life is that little bit bigger to compensate for the cold environment. So, if you want to wrestle and eat some big fish this is the holiday for you. And just imagine a crab measuring 2 metres from claw to claw!
The Kamchatka crab has been released by the Russians many years ago into the Barents Sea as a food source. In these waters, the crabs have multiplied to an enormous extend, continuously migrate further South, potentially posing a threat to indigenous species. At least you can eat them with a clear conscience – they are delicious, enjoy!
A comfortable 36 feet cabin cruiser equipped for trolling and deep sea fishing takes you fishing in style. She is equipped with echo sounder, GPS and fish finder, with rods and reels of IGFA 30 lb class and all other necessary equipment – a knowledgeable and experienced guide included. She can take a maximum of 8 persons for deep sea fishing or 12 passengers for sea safaris.
You can book trips from the beginning of March when there is still snow and winter weather. Spring begins in May when the Arctic Ocean is bathed in the light of the midnight sun.
May to June is the main season for trolling for salmon and sea trout. In July the sun begins to set again at night. Towards October winter moves in with the first snow and gales, the boat can go out only after carefully considering the weather; and at night you can see the Northern Lights.
The dramatic arctic landscape, its amazing wildlife, excellent food and accommodation make this a great place for a family holiday. There is a different adventure for everybody: walks along the beach, hikes to fells and fjords, rock climbing, scuba diving, glass making, boat trips to bird and seal colonies.
