About Sørøya Havfiskecruise
Fishing trips and Northern Lights cruises in Tromsø aboard our purpose-built catamaran, MS Havcruise.
Sørøya Havfiskecruise is a small, family-run company based in Sørvær on the island of Sørøya in Finnmark. The sea is at the heart of what we do, and our experiences are closely connected to the Northern Norwegian coast. We can also operate from other locations in Troms and Finnmark when needed.
Fishing is an important part of our programme. We offer both regular and private fishing trips for guests who want to experience sea fishing in Tromsø. On our private trips, your group has the boat to yourselves.
The trips take place aboard MS Havcruise, a 15-metre aluminium catamaran purpose-built for deep-sea fishing. The vessel is certified for up to 12 passengers and has a lounge, galley and plenty of outdoor deck space.
We also offer Northern Lights cruises, taking guests out on the water to look for the aurora along the coast.
As a family-run company, our aim is to offer small-scale experiences at sea, based on our experience and local knowledge of the coastal areas of Northern Norway.
