Frequently asked questions
What are the arrival and departure times?
Arrival is on the agreed date, from 14:00, or earlier if arranged with us in advance. Departure is by 10:00, unless another time has been expressly agreed.
Can I bring a pet?
Yes. Pets are welcome in all three cabins.
Is smoking allowed in the cabins?
No. All three cabins are strictly non-smoking. Smoking is not allowed in the filleting room either.
Do I need to bring bed linen and a towel?
No. In every cabin the beds are made up and each guest gets a bath towel.
Are there quiet hours?
Yes. Between 22:00 and 06:00 we ask you to keep noise down and avoid disturbing other guests.
Where can I prepare and store my catch?
Guests have use of a fully equipped filleting room: a large worktop, running water and freezers for storing fish.
Do I have to wear a life jacket?
Yes. Life jackets are compulsory when using the boats, along with following the regulations and the weather conditions.
When is the season?
The season for fishing guests at Fagervika Rorbuferie AS runs from April to the end of October.
Where is the nearest shop?
The nearest shop is about 20 km from Fagervika, which by Norwegian standards is genuinely close.
Do I have to clean the cabin before leaving?
You do not have to clean the cabin yourself. We offer a final clean for 1 200 NOK for Rorbu 1 and 1 000 NOK for Rorbu 2 or 3 – just let us know before you leave. We do ask you to leave the cabin in basic order: dishes washed, rubbish taken out, leftover food removed and your own belongings packed. If the cabin is left in a serious mess, an additional cleaning charge may apply.
Do I need a boating licence?
Yes, if you were born in 1980 or later. Our boats have engines from 70 to 115 hp, so Norwegian regulations require a boating licence to operate them. Anyone born before 1980 is exempt.
Do I need a fishing licence?
No licence is required for recreational sea fishing. If you plan to fish in rivers or lakes, separate permits and local rules may apply.
How much fish may I take out of Norway?
In 2026 the export limit is 15 kg of fish or fish products per person. It may be used at most twice in a calendar year. Export is allowed for anyone aged 12 or over who fished through a registered tourist fishing business. Carry the documentation confirming that the catch is legal when you travel.
