Sea-fishing

In the Arctic Circle Region you can fish for Norway haddock, cod, halibut, catfish and maybe even the Greenland Shark. Seals and whales are curious visitors to your boat, the mountains line the entire western horizon and the sea around you whispers a song about life and the history of Greenland.

The life-giver
Sea fishing in the region is activity and history combined into a single pursuit which has both cultural significance and sporting value for locals and visitors alike.

People have to adapt to their surroundings and in Greenland adaptation means changes in the way of life, therefore also changes to the local cultural life. Climatic changes, shifts in sea currents, and events over which the fishermen have no control have always shaped the fishing life of a country which since the arrival of the first settlers has lived off and travelled on the sea.

For the region’s many commercial fishermen, the sea is a resource they use to provide the local community with energy and employment. People have been fishing here – from boats, land or ice – as long as it’s been possible, and even today the amateur angler can experience the life that has shaped Greenland and Greenlanders themselves.

What the sea has to offer
Go ice-fishing on the fjords, fish with long lines from boats along the western coast, go right under a bluff on the hunt for Norway haddock or catch your own dinner and enjoy life with a freshly-cooked lunch onboard.

In the Arctic Circle Region you’re never far from memorable experiences, and professional guides can customize tours to your own specific desires.
