REAL EVENINGS ON THE WATER
Real guests. Real fishing. A glimpse of what your private evening on the water can look like.
Local fishing built around the best opportunities
This tour stays in local waters around Stavanger, where we can fish around islands, rocky coastline, underwater slopes, reefs and deeper areas. By keeping the trip local, we spend less time travelling and more of the evening actually fishing.
The exact fishing spots and techniques depend on the conditions that evening. If the fish are not where expected, we can move, change depth or try a different approach. There is no fixed fishing programme to follow.
No previous fishing experience is required. Fishing equipment and flotation gear are provided, and I help throughout the trip with tackle, techniques, depth and understanding what we see on the fish finder.
Evening departures are available from 17:00, with the exact start time agreed in advance.
You meet directly at the boat, and the exact meeting details are provided before the trip.

YOUR GUIDE & BOAT
One guide. One boat. One private evening on the water.
From the first message to the last cast, I personally plan and guide your fishing day aboard my Axopar 28 Cabin — a stable and comfortable boat for private evening fishing trip around Stavanger.
Your local guide
I’m Espen, the guide behind Stavanger Adventure. I personally plan and guide every tour and operate the boat — so the person you speak with before the trip is also the person taking you out on the water.
I have lifelong experience fishing these waters, and my approach is calm, practical and personal. I always do my best to make each day as good as it can be — adapting the fishing, pace and plan to the people on board.
Direct communication
Plan the trip directly with the guide who takes you out. Quick answers and personal advice.
Local knowledge
Years of experience fishing in Stavanger waters, seasonal fishing areas and changing conditions.
The Axopar 28 Cabin
The boat gives us a stable, comfortable and flexible base for a few hours of evening fishing. The heated cabin provides shelter from wind and spray, while the open deck gives us plenty of room to fish and move around safely.
Advanced fishing sonar helps us read depth, structure and fish activity in real time, while precise GPS positioning allows me to hold the boat over promising areas when conditions allow.

GOOGLE REVIEW
No two fishing trips are the same.
Even during a few hours of fishing around Stavanger, we can encounter a surprisingly wide variety of species depending on the season, depth and conditions. I choose the fishing areas and techniques according to what looks most promising that evening. Fishing is always unpredictable, so species and catches can never be guaranteed. That uncertainty is part of real fishing — and every trip gives us the chance to discover what is active on the day.
Ling
A species we may occasionally encounter when fishing deeper local areas.
Spiny dogfish
A small shark species that occasionally gives guests a very different fishing experience.
Cuckoo Wrasse
One of the most colorful fish we encounter and often a favorite with guests.
Cod
A familiar Norwegian species found in several of the areas we fish.
Pollack
OUR MAIN TARGET SPECIES
Known for powerful runs and hard fights, pollack is a favourite on our fishing trips — often found around rocky structure and deeper reefs.

WHAT YOU MAY CATCH
A surprising variety beneath the surface
The local waters around Stavanger offer a varied mix of species. What we encounter depends on the season, depth, conditions and where we fish that evening.

Frequently asked questions
Still wondering about something? Here are a few of the questions guests often ask before booking.
Yes. The boat is reserved exclusively for you and your group, with a maximum of six guests.
The species vary with the season, location and conditions. Typical catches around Stavanger include pollack, cod, saithe, mackerel and several other coastal species. Part of the experience is seeing what the fjord gives us that day.
The trip lasts approximately 3–4 hours, giving us plenty of time to fish local waters without setting aside an entire day.
The trip can start from 17:00 onwards, with the exact departure time agreed in advance.
You meet directly at the boat. The exact meeting point and practical details are provided before the trip.
Yes. Families are very welcome. I adapt the fishing, pace and time on the water to the group. For younger children, I will ask for their age and weight in advance so I can prepare suitable safety equipment.
I monitor the weather and sea conditions closely before every trip. If necessary, I can adjust the route, fishing area or timing. If conditions are not suitable for a safe and comfortable trip, I will contact you before departure to discuss the options.
If the trip cannot go ahead because of the weather, there is no charge.
Yes. Private evening trips into Lysefjord can also be arranged. But this Evening Fishing by Boat is focused on local fishing waters around Stavanger, while guests who would rather spend the evening exploring Lysefjord can choose a private fjord tour instead.
Fish may be kept when appropriate and in accordance with Norwegian fishing regulations, while some fish are released carefully. I will guide you during the trip and make sure the catch is handled responsibly.
Yes. There is a small toilet on board for occasional or emergency use. It is compact, but useful to have during longer trips.
If you would like to learn more about local fish species, seasons, fishing conditions and what to expect on the water, I have created a detailed guide to fishing in the Stavanger area.
