Nordstranda Fjordferien
On approx. 500 meters of shoreline along the idyllic Helvikfjord, the newly renovated Nordstranda Fjordferie vacation complex was built in 2023.
All properties have been completely renovated and a completely new waterfront promenade with boat moorings and jetties, a filleting house, a beautifully landscaped property and much more has been created. The complex includes 3 Norwegian fjord cabins and a completely renovated main house with modern vacation apartments, all with fjord views. In 2023 / 2024 brand new boats model 2023 were purchased and are ready to be added to the properties. And we offer you all this just a few kilometers west of Farsund, in a sheltered, sunny and inviting location.
Here you can book your vacation all year round in the renovated Norwegian cabins with new furniture, as well as in two high-quality, modern apartments. The location directly on the Helvikfjord is great and is particularly popular with German, Austrian, Belgian and Dutch tourists. Not only because you can successfully fish for sea trout and flatfish directly on the shore, but also because there are so many great nature experiences in the area. In addition to life by the fjord, there are also a number of attractions for all ages to visit in the immediate vicinity of Farsund. Last but not least, the area around Farsund and the coast of Sørland offers a "sea" of fishing opportunities in both fresh and salt water.
Experience this beautiful vacation home in all seasons. The grounds offer well-kept seating areas where you can enjoy the morning and evening sun until late in the evening in summer. At this sunny vacation spot, you can enjoy a great view of the fjord in front with its new jetties and boat moorings, and of the mountains on the horizon. Did you know that you can take a boat from Nordstranda through the fjords to Lyngdal or Apta? Or in 15 minutes directly to Farsund town center and from there out to sea? A highlight is the proximity to Farsund town center, as there are plenty of stores and a 'shopping mall' here. The ladies traveling with you will be thrilled to see or buy a lot of Nordic fashion here. In addition to several restaurants, pubs and a disco, the Bondeheimen pub (click to Facebook) is a place for young and old to dance and party to live Norwegian music at the weekend.
We think: Nordstranda Fjordferie is ideal for a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, whether for a family of four, couples, or fishing groups who want to experience nature, fishing and 'sea' in the southern archipelago. We are absolutely confident that with Nordstranda we have created a very nice vacation place for all holidaymakers who love fishing and water sports, who love traditional and cozy Norwegian Hytten, or who prefer modern spacious apartments.

Fishing and leisure activities in Farsund and the Bjoernevag region
Fishing in Farsund, Bjoernevag, Nordstranda and the waters outside Katland on the sea up to Cape Lindesnes.
In the area around Farsund with its fjords, island gardens, archipelago and the extremely fish-rich plateaus on the sea off Katland and the Kletten, water sports activities and saltwater fishing (all types) are at the top of your daily program. For diving, kiting, surfing and recreational and amateur anglers, the area is always full of surprises.
Good catches of handsome sea fish such as cod, pollack, coalfish, long and lump, sometimes halibut, as well as mackerel in abundance are brought home especially from the sea hotspots off Farsund, between Lindesnes Fyr and Lista Fyr. Of course, we know that the success rates depend on the weather, the season and the currents, but that's the way it is all over Norway on the coastal stretches. Many of our guests have sent us pictures, videos and feedback on their fishing experiences, take a look for yourself. (Click on impressions)
Here you will also find the probably best and most impressive fishing videos of our fishing friends Achim and Claus from the region Bjoernevag, Farsund and Borhaug of the last 10 years.
Here you can find the fishing videos of "The Achim Videos" 2014 - 2023 (Link) on YouTube
The exciting videos show once again that fishing in the Lista region is very productive when the weather is stable. The sizes of the fish caught are particularly impressive, although it is often claimed that "there are no big fish in southern Norway".
The important thing is to use the right fishing tackle and methods. Here you will find the right tips on tackle and the fishing methods we recommend. (click link)
The open sea with its plateaus Nesskletten, Svaneflua, Rauna and other good fishing spots should only be approached with suitable boats and only in stable weather.
What is important to us: You should only head for offshore fishing spots in stable weather and with a suitable boat! Small dinghies should avoid offshore fishing areas and have no place on the open sea.

After all, the entire area offers more than 20 species of fish that can be caught. You can fish between the islands and skerries, or in the sheltered fjord with hardly any down days to speak of, virtually in any weather. In good weather with little wind, you can easily reach the open sea and the sandy plateaus from most of the locations. In the wintery spring, the herring come to the coast, joined by strong cod and coalfish.
From some of the jetties you can catch flatfish, flounder and meagre, as well as other sea fish. The owner can usually give you good weather tips and advice on worthwhile fishing spots. Wind-protected fishing in the fjord is almost always possible. So if you want to combine fishing and family, a short journey and lots of alternative vacation activities, this region is the place for you.
From Farsund or Borhaug you can book professionally guided fishing trips. The operator Björnevags also offers guided deep-sea and deep-sea fishing tours, for example, with M/S Bjørnevåg, 32 ft/100 hp, certified for 5-8 people. The tour lasts approx. 6 hours and is only carried out with a binding confirmation. (Only bookable and payable on site in Björnevag).
Fishing at Nordstranda:
Shoals of mackerel and other marine fish species move into the Helvikfjorden near Norstranda at various times of the year. From April onwards, fishing for sea trout directly from the jetty at Nordstranda or at "Svingbru v Bøensbakken" is absolutely promising and successful. The best mefo fishing, in our opinion, can be found on the shores and beaches of Farsund, or even in the city center under the bridge when the wind is blowing. We tested this ourselves and were quite successful.
In the summer of 2023, a herd of peaceful killer whales (orcas) even moved into the inner fjords and stayed there for several weeks to feed and rest. Visitors should keep their boats away from these majestic animals and the seals and always keep a safe distance.
Did you know that you can take a boat from our new Nordstranda facility near Helvik through the fjords to Lyngdal or Apta? Or in just 15 minutes directly to the center of Farsund and from there quickly to the open sea, past the Katland lighthouse?Fishing in fresh water / in the lakes and streams in the area:
There are many beautiful fishing spots in the area - for trout, char and sea trout. On the page Listerfriluft.no you will find an overview of fishing lakes and sea trout spots. Some freshwater lakes require a permit for which a fee is charged.Here you can find all the information about freshwater fishing spots in southern Norway. (click here)
We wish you lots of success, fun and good fishing.
Leisure activities in the Farsund, Nordstranda, Bjoernevag region:
Here you will find the best leisure tips:

The hull insurance is not liable for accidental damage suffered by persons traveling on the rental object. The renter is liable for damage to and loss of the boat if the damage is not covered by the insurance. Damage also includes consequential damage. The lessor/owner may retain the deposit paid until the damage has been repaired. The excess per case of damage is to be borne by the renter and may differ from the deposit. If the boat is returned free of defects, the deposit will be refunded immediately. Any damage not covered by the deposit or insurance must be replaced by the hirer immediately before departure. The hirer undertakes to notify the lessor/owner immediately of any damage, collisions, other unusual occurrences or complaints.
Boating license:
For guests born before 01.01.1980, no license for motorboats of this class is required in Norway. For younger persons, a boating license for boats with more than 25 hp is mandatory.
Binding rules of conduct - liability of the hirer:
We expect the skipper to strictly refrain from drinking alcohol on board. This is solely for your safety.
The hirer is liable for any damage caused by themselves and also for any damage caused by other users of the boat. The use of the boat is at the renter's and all other users own risk. The hirer shall inform his crew in good time that they may need to take out appropriate insurance against loss events themselves before the start of the trip. In addition, the skipper must familiarize the crew with the boat technology and the terms of the contract and ensure that all passengers wear life jackets on the trips.
If fish cleaning is to be carried out on the boat or on an appropriate filleting table on the jetty, please dispose of the fish waste at sea and not in the harbour basin. Always cover fish waste (seagulls).
Restriction of area:
Voyages are only permitted in the adjacent and suitable waters of the home port and near the coast.
A minimum distance of 100 meters must be maintained from fish farms or similar facilities. Failure to comply with the navigation rules may result in immediate termination of the tenancy by the lessor/owner. Claims of the tenant are therefore deemed forfeited.
Cleaning the boat:
The hirer must clean the boat thoroughly after each outing. The renter returns the boat in refueled and cleaned condition, as it was handed over by the lessor. We would like to expressly point out that GRP boats should not be entered with black, staining soles. Cleaning afterwards is very difficult and requires a great deal of work on your part. We charge up to 100 euros for a boat that has not been properly cleaned, depending on the effort involved.
