Ready for an unforgettable sea adventure?
At Hindrum Fjordsenter, we offer safe and spacious rental boats that are perfect for fishing, exploring, or simply enjoying the stunning tranquility of the fjord. Whether you’re planning a trip with friends, family, or your work crew, our boats give you direct access to Norway’s third-largest fjord. Each boat is equipped with sonar, GPS, and a chart plotter for safe and smooth navigation. Life jackets are always included. Before heading out, you’ll receive a detailed sea map, get briefed on safety and rental terms – and we’re happy to share a few tips on where the fish tend to bite.
Our boats are docked in the nearby marina, just a short 3-minute walk from the reception.
If the sea is calm, you’re welcome to moor the boat at the floating dock at our pier for shorter rest periods. Boats must be securely parked in the marina during the night or breaks longer than 2–3 hours.We recommend bringing a bucket and rope for easy rinsing with seawater during your trip. A freshwater hose for final cleaning is available both at the fjord center and in the marina. Before you return your boat, please ensure the tank is refilled and the boat is thoroughly cleaned. We’ll do a quick inspection, and then your deposit is returned. Let the fjord guide your journey – it’s time to head out.
To operate recreational boats in Norway that are longer than 8 meters (26.25 feet) or have an engine with more than 25 hp / 19 kW, a Norwegian boating license or a valid international certificate is required. This rule applies to anyone born on or after January 1, 1980. If you were born before this date, you are allowed to operate such boats without a boating license – however, it is still recommended to take the boating exam to ensure you have the necessary knowledge for safe behavior at sea.
To obtain the boating license, you must pass a theoretical exam – a multiple-choice test with 50 questions, conducted at an approved test center. The test can be taken in Norwegian or English and lasts a maximum of one hour. A preparatory course is not mandatory, but most participants find it helpful and educational.
If you want to operate a recreational craft longer than 15 meters, you will need an advanced certificate: Deck Officer Class 5 – Pleasure Craft.
