Holiday home Vikran – Nordnesøy, Helgelandskysten / Northern Norway
Location and natural wonders – On the Arctic Circle, where the light never sleeps
Holiday home Vikran is located on the island of Nordnesøy, in the heart of the Helgeland archipelago – right on the Arctic Circle, at the same latitude as the southern coast of Greenland and further north than Iceland. Here begins the realm of the midnight sun and the Northern Lights: In summer, the light bathes the landscape in a magical, never-ending glow, while in winter the Northern Lights dance across the sky – a natural spectacle you'll never forget. Surrounded by the Norwegian Sea, tranquil, fish-filled bays, and countless skerries, Nordnesøy offers the perfect combination of pristine wilderness, maritime atmosphere, and Nordic serenity – a place where you arrive and simply stay.
The island belongs to the municipality of Rødøy o. Lurøy (Nordland region), approximately 100 kilometers north of the Vega archipelago, nestled between the island groups of Rødøy, Selsøyvik, Myken, and Træna. Nordnesøy is easily accessible by car ferry. The area has retained its tranquility and authenticity, making it a true paradise for passionate anglers, nature lovers, and families seeking unspoiled Norway. A veritable fishing paradise begins right on your doorstep: rich fishing grounds and serene, crystal-clear bays. Here begins the realm of the midnight sun and the Northern Lights – where the sea and the horizon merge into one. As an officially registered tourist fishing company, we offer you the best conditions – for unforgettable days at sea and the catch of a lifetime.

Here, Nordic serenity meets modern comfort – a place to breathe deeply, relax, and feel at home.

Large windows bring the light of the North into the house, while light wood tones and warm textiles create a cozy atmosphere.
This property features five comfortably furnished bedrooms, three bathrooms – one with a bathtub – and a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, coffee maker, and kettle.

The garden offers space for playing and relaxing, and a fire pit, gas grill, and charcoal grill are available.

Your fishing gear can be stored safely and securely in the house. If you enjoy fishing for salmon and sea trout, you should definitely try your luck in the inner fjord. Magnificent mountain hikes with a fishing rod or tours through the surrounding forests will delight any Norway enthusiast.

It's impossible to list everything here... there are so many leisure activities. Excursions on the regularly scheduled ferries and speedboats through the stunning island landscape of the fjords to the surrounding sights or to the larger towns are definitely worthwhile and will enrich your holiday.

The realm of a thousand islands offers spectacular natural wonders: mountains and peaks, the open sea and white sandy bays, islands large and small, flat and high, long and wide. Travel by vehicle along a diverse coastline, circumnavigating fjords, crossing bridges, and driving along the foot of picturesque peaks. Here, the breathtaking views and natural experiences will leave you speechless. You will find no comparable nature anywhere else in Norway. Observe wildlife such as moose, otters, native bird species – even golden and white-tailed eagles.

Boat insurance - hull coverage:
Your boat is generally covered by comprehensive insurance. The deductible in case of damage is €1000.

The renter's personal belongings are not insured. The comprehensive insurance does not cover accidental damage suffered by persons traveling on the rental boat. The renter is liable for damage to and loss of the boat, unless the damage is covered by the insurance. Damage also includes consequential damage. The lessor/owner may retain the security deposit until the damage is repaired. The renter is responsible for paying the full deductible for each claim if the security deposit is insufficient to cover the damage.
The security deposit will be refunded to the renter immediately upon return of the boat in undamaged condition. Any damage not covered by the security deposit or insurance must be paid for by the renter immediately before departure.

We strongly recommend abstaining from alcohol on board.
The renter is liable for any damage they cause themselves, as well as for any damage caused by other users of the boat. Use of the boat is at the renter's and all other users' own risk. The renter must inform their crew in a timely manner that they should obtain adequate insurance coverage against accidents before departure. Furthermore, the skipper must familiarize the crew with the boat's operation and the terms of the rental agreement and ensure that all passengers wear life jackets during trips.
If fish cleaning takes place on the boat or on a suitable filleting table, please dispose of the fish waste at sea, not in the harbor basin. Always cover fish waste (to protect against seagulls).
Territorial restrictions:
Trips are only permitted in the adjacent and suitable waters of the home port and in coastal areas.
A minimum distance of 100 meters must be maintained from fish farms or similar facilities. Failure to comply with maritime regulations may result in immediate termination of the lease by the landlord/owner. Any claims by the tenant will then be forfeited.
