Fish Reykjavik’s rich coastal waters with a friendly local crew, catch cod or haddock, then eat your fresh catch aboard the boat.

“It was an amazing trip! We caught about a dozen small cod and haddock fish with a small flounder type fish. The captain was very professional dn friendly. He enjoyed accommodating my 8 and 13 year old children. He was kind enough to not only filet the fish we caught, but also cook, season/spice, and serve them to us as well, with water, coffee and chocolate chil cookies that children enjoyed. We also saw a nearby while on our trip. I highly recommend this experience.”

Fish Reykjavik Bay for cod and haddock, then enjoy your catch as a fresh BBQ lunch on this friendly small-group boat trip.

“This was a wonderful experience and since I had never fished before, this was a perfect introduction! The captain and his daughter (first mate) were friendly, caring and very helpful. Not only did we catch beautiful cod fish, but we got to eat our catch! They cleaned and filleted the fish on board and then grilled it when we got to shore. There's nothing like fresh, fresh fish prepared simply and expertly! We had a blast!! Highly recommend!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 37 reviews · 3 hours · from $188

Fish Faxaflói Bay from Reykjavík, then enjoy your own freshly caught cod, haddock, or pollock with a warm onboard barbecue.

“This was one of the highlights of our trip! Absolutely enjoyed every minute on the boat. We were on the fish right away, and when it slowed, the captain was quick to move us to another stop. Our group caught so much fish, they didn't even cook it all. They cooked fish for us to eat on the way back to the port. Eating the fish immediately was fantastic! I can't say enough good things about the crew, lunch, and this excursion in general. I would book it again if I am lucky enough to go back to Iceland in the future.”
