Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fishing
Big-game fishing off Sunnmøre
Battle one of the ocean’s most powerful predators on the waters off Sunnmøre – where giant Atlantic bluefin tuna feed in growing numbers each summer and autumn.
In recent years, Atlantic bluefin tuna have returned to Norwegian waters in spectacular fashion – and our coastline has become one of Europe’s most exciting new frontiers for big-game sport fishing. Most fish caught here weigh in at 250–300 kg (550–660 lbs) or more, and hooking one is an experience unlike any other: raw power, explosive runs, and a fight that will test every angler on board.
