Our boats are large and powerful






The boat is 7.5 m long and has a beam of 2.8 m. It is fitted with a 130 hp diesel engine, fish finder, GPS with digital charts, depth sounder, and automatic alert equipment for coastal sailing, VHF communications, radio and CD player. Every boat is equipped with two 380-litre fish storage containers, gaff, charts, first aid kit, emergency flares, lifejackets and life raft. The boat can accommodate a maximum of six people on each fishing trip.

We have 22 boats in our fishing village. 11 boats in Suðureyri and 11 boats in Flateyri. They all bear the name Bobby, from no 1 to 22.
