General information
This tour is operated by Hermes II.
Our skipper will take you to the best fishing spots in the area. Enjoy the thrill of fishing, feel the calm on board, and hear the unique stories of Hermes II.
The trip is well organized, with 5–6 fishing rods in use at the same time to avoid tangled lines. If we are lucky with the catch, freshly caught fish is served on board with butter and flatbread. During the trip, you will also be treated to a steaming hot Norwegian fish cake from our local Fish Monger, served straight in your hand.
