I took this excursion with my 13-year-old son and we loved it! The staff is two Icelandic brothers, who are very kind and helpful. There were 12 guests on the boat. The fishing poles are good quality and we fished in 4 different locations. Our group caught lots of fish - Whiting, Cod, Mackerel and Haddock. The crew cleaned and grilled our fish on the boat and served it with sauces and potato salad as we motored back to the harbour. The boat had a head (bathroom) and we were offered coffee and cookies when we boarded. We highly recommend this excursion!

Great cold water fishing excursion
mark_b, Sep 2023
This was my 2nd time fishing with this company. They do a great job of getting you on the fish, and helping you with problems. This day had a wide variety of folks, including beginners and kids. However, we all worked well together and caught quite a few very sizable cod, haddock, mackerel, whiting, a small halibut and a fish they said was rare but could not identify. They cook a sampling of fish to try and they are delicious! If you happen to be staying nearby, you are welcome to take some fish home with you. (I was on a cruise ship and could not do so). I'd definitely do this again
Great fishing trip - catch and eat!

Great trip! Jakob and his brother did a phenomenal job! We caught 30+ fish between the two of us. Then they cooked fresh fish on our ride back to the harbor which was delicious! Highly recommend this activity.
Fun experience

Very fun experience. Were shown how to operate the fishing rod and how to fish. Caught 2 fish. Sea was a little too stormy for me and I got motion sickness. Other than that, it's really fun
Delightful Experience

We had wonderful weather, seas were reasonable and we caught a good number of fish. The lunch was expertly prepared, very tasty and we all agreed it was a really great trip.
Great for Beginners

I have never fished before but was able to catch 2 huge fish. Everyone on the boat caught something, and it was a great time!
Perfect little afternoon adventure.

Kind of surprised this tour wasn't more popular. It was short (2-3 hours). It's a normal fishing tour, and they cook it up right there on the boat on your ride back. this tour is PERFECT as it's in the afternoon. So you can spend a nice morning walking through the city, do this in the afternoon, then you have the whole evening to go out. Plus, you will not have any more fresher seafood in iceland period, lol.
The mate and the captain made the trip excellent
Philip T, Jun 2019
We went about 6-9 minutes between catches and we caught alot of large fish. The lunch on the boat afterwards was excellent, fresh fish we just caught, potatoes and great sauce. Iceland is all about the sauce.,
