A Unique West Coast Experience

Joining a fishing trip with Selin Charter is not only about the thrill of catching your own mackerel – it’s also about discovering the unique Bohuslän archipelago and the untouched nature of Kosterhavet National Park. The combination of fishing, marine wildlife encounters, and shared experiences makes this an activity cherished by locals, holiday visitors, and international guests alike.

Fish you may catch in Kosterhavet

The waters of Kosterhavet are known for their rich fish stocks, and during our trips it is primarily mackerel that takes center stage. Fast, powerful, and a true delicacy on the grill, mackerel offers both excitement and flavor. In addition to mackerel, you may also encounter:

 

  • Cod – common in the deeper waters of the Skagerrak

  • Herring – a classic West Coast fish often found in schools

  • Pollock and coalfish – popular sport fish that add variety to your catch

The Marine Life of Kosterhavet

Kosterhavet is Sweden’s first marine national park and home to more than 6,000 species, many of which are not found anywhere else in the country. On your fishing trip, you may encounter much more than just fish, including:

  • Harbor seals resting on the outer archipelago rocks

  • Seabirds such as razorbill, guillemot, and herring gull

  • Fascinating marine habitats with kelp forests, starfish, and lobster among the rocky seabeds

 

Taking part in a fishing trip with Selin Charter means more than just catching fish – it’s an opportunity to experience Bohuslän’s unique marine wildlife up close.
