We want you to have a safe stay at our camp! Please follow these rules and never take unnecessary risk.
Safety rules for everybody staying at Big Fish Adventure:
- Please remember that the sea area around Sørøya is extremely exposed to sudden weather changes.The hosts will be able to give you information and advice regarding weather conditions before you go to sea. Always respect our assessment of whether it is safe to go to sea because of the weather situation and the weather forecast.
- It is forbidden to drive our boats under the influence of alcohol.
- Before going to sea you must log in in GoFish and register your trip.
- If you are going to be at sea for more than 12 hours, the camp shall be notified before departure, or later by telephone.
- Mobile phones have a limited coverage area and can give a false feeling of security. Place a fully charged phone preferably in a waterproof plastic container. Turn your volume up!
- Before going to sea remember to fill up the fuel tank and bring a full spare can with fuel. The reserve petrol is for emergency use only to assist in returning to shore. If the engine stops and the boat starts drifting north or west, you only have open sea ahead.
- Take a warm drink with you onboard the boat.
- Always wear lifejacket or floatation suit onboard the boat. Avoid standing in the boat as much as possible.
- If you have problems with the boat or the weather causes problems, CALL FOR HELP IMMEDIATELY.
The driver of a recreational boat of over 8 metres in length or with an engine with a greater effect than 25 HP needs a Norwegian Boating Certificate or a valid boating license issued in another country. This rule applies to all persons born on or after 1 January 1980 according to the Regulation on requirement for minimum age and a boating license for drivers of recreational craft dated 3 March 2009.
We want you to have a good fishing holiday in Norway! The coastal fish stocks in Norway are under pressure and we need to increase our efforts to ensure that future generations will also be able to enjoy fishing as a sport or recreation in Norway. Fish in the sea are free for all, but we have a goal to safeguard fish stocks for the future. You are therefore very welcome to fish for free in Norwegian sea waters, provided that you follow a set of simple rules.
