Sea Fishing in Greenland | Untouched Waters and Camp Nataarnaq

When sea fishing in Greenland, and especially around Camp Nataarnaq, there are several sought-after species in very healthy populations. The most common species are Atlantic halibut, spotted wolffish, large cod, and redfish (uer).

In addition to these, there is also a chance to catch other flatfish and smaller species depending on location and depth. The low fishing pressure means that the fish are strong and often aggressive, which makes for a sea fishing experience that clearly differs from more heavily fished areas in the Nordic region.

The best time for sea fishing in Greenland is during June and July. During this period, conditions are most stable with good weather windows, long bright days, and excellent opportunities for effective fishing in the fjords.

This is also when sea fishing is most accessible in the areas where Camp Nataarnaq is located. The low fishing pressure combined with the right time of year results in strong stocks and a high chance of catching large fish such as halibut, spotted wolffish, cod, and redfish.

If you travel during this period, you will get the best possible overall experience of Greenland's sea fishing, both in terms of fishing, nature, and logistics.

For travel to Greenland, Swedish citizens are required to have a valid passport. A national ID card is not sufficient. Always check that your passport is valid for the entire duration of your trip, including the day of your return journey.

Swedish citizens do not need a visa for tourist trips to Greenland for short stays. Greenland is outside the EU but belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark, which means that special entry rules apply compared to the rest of the Nordic countries.

If you have booked your fishing trip with Outside Travels, you will receive all your travel documents digitally well in advance of departure. This includes flight tickets, transfer information, and contact details, so you can travel with peace of mind and fully focus on the experience.

Greenland is the world's largest island and is located between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. The country is part of the Kingdom of Denmark but has self-governance and a strong unique culture shaped by nature, the sea, and fishing. A large part of Greenland is covered by an ice sheet, and the population primarily lives along the coast.

At Camp Nataarnaq, we fish in pristine areas with very low fishing pressure, which results in strong stocks and active fish.

Fishing is done from stable boats and is adapted to the weather and conditions. Common methods are jig fishing, pilking, and angling, depending on the species being targeted. Halibut are often caught near the bottom with jigs or bait, while cod and redfish are caught with pilk and soft baits. Spotted wolffish are primarily caught by angling.

The weather in Greenland is characterized by an arctic coastal climate, but during the sea fishing season, conditions are often more stable than many expect. In summer, temperatures are usually cool and pleasant, often between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius, depending on wind and weather conditions.

In the fjords where fishing takes place, the sea is often calmer than in open waters, but weather changes can occur quickly. Wind, fog, and rain may occur, while clear days with long hours of daylight are common. It is precisely this variation that makes fishing vibrant and the natural experience strong.
