The experience

A small boat, local waters and a proper day on the fjord

Ranja is a 34-foot aluminium boat with the honest character of a working vessel and the comfort of a warm cabin. With only six places, there is room to meet your skipper, learn the basics and take an active part in the trip rather than simply watch from the side.

We leave Brattøra and choose the fishing area according to wind, sea and the conditions that day. Beginners are welcome. The skipper helps you get started, while experienced anglers can enjoy a relaxed session in waters close to Trondheim.

The fjord is in charge

Come for the experience—not a catch guarantee.

Weather, sea and fish never follow a script. That uncertainty is part of a real day on the fjord. Your skipper adapts the route and fishing to the conditions, and the warm cabin is always close when the wind has some bite.

Only six guests

A personal trip with time for each guest to fish, ask questions and enjoy the boat.

A warm place to return to

Move between the open deck and Ranja's warm cabin throughout the experience.

Local waters

Discover Trondheim from the fjord and fish where the day's conditions lead us.

Beginner friendly

No previous fishing experience is needed; the skipper helps you get started.

Questions & answers

Good to know

Do I need fishing experience?

No. First-time anglers are very welcome, and the skipper will help you with the basics aboard.

Are we guaranteed to catch fish?

No. Fishing is a natural experience, and a catch can never be guaranteed. The boat trip, local knowledge and time on the fjord are an important part of the day.

What happens in bad weather?

The skipper monitors wind and sea conditions and adapts the route when possible. If it is not safe or comfortable to operate, we will contact you to reschedule or arrange a refund.

Can I book if I am travelling alone?

Yes, you can reserve a single place on a scheduled departure. If too few guests are booked to operate, we may offer another date or a full refund.

Is there somewhere warm on the boat?

Yes. Ranja has a warm cabin where you can sit and warm up between sessions on deck.

Can we request a private trip or another date?

Yes. Additional and private departures can be arranged by request when the boat, skipper and weather allow. Send us your preferred date and group size.
