A three-hour fishing excursion from Tromsø aboard a VIP catamaran, combining short sea passages to productive grounds, a cozy panoramic saloon with warm drinks, and freshly cooked catch on the return.
Casting Lines from a Floating Salon: Luxury Catamaran Fishing off Tromsø.
From the floating jetty behind the Scandic Ishavshotel, guests step into a panoramic saloon and settle into a warm, high‑standard catamaran for a compact, three‑hour fishing outing. The trip blends comfortable sea travel aboard Arctic Princess (or Arctic Charm when needed) with short runs to nearby fishing grounds, the chance to catch your own fish, and fresh preparation of the day’s catch on the way back to the city.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
VIP Catamarans with Panoramic Saloon
The tour runs on purpose‑built, comfortable catamarans designed for a premium day trip experience; the saloon offers panoramic sea views and a cozy interior where warm coffee and tea await.
Short Runs to Productive Grounds
After a brief sail you arrive at prime nearshore fishing spots where guests have the opportunity to catch fish — the operator reports consistent success across tours, though there is not a 100% guarantee.
Freshly Cooked Catch and Sea Views
On the return leg the crew prepares the fresh catch onboard so you can enjoy fish cooked shortly after landing, all while watching Tromsø Island from the water.

What the Trip Feels Like
The rhythm is compact and purposeful: gather at the floating jetty, settle into the panoramic saloon with a warm drink, sail a short distance to the fishing area, spend focused time angling from the catamaran, then relax as the crew prepares the day’s catch for the trip back. The overall tenor is intimate and cozy—designed as a VIP day outing rather than a rugged expedition.
