Lobster Fishing

The lobster fishing season kicks off every autumn and lasts until the end of December. Here at Villa Marstrand, this is a sure sign of fall – a tradition we are proud to keep alive. We are one of the largest players in Bohuslän, with classic fishing boats and experienced crews that take you on an authentic lobster adventure. During the trip, you will head out to sea, pull up traps, and hear the captain's stories and tips about the exciting world of lobster fishing.

The waters around Marstrand are known for their fantastic lobster fishing, and here work some of the country's most skilled fishermen. During the excursion, you will enjoy the beautiful archipelago and come close to the fascinating hunt for “the sea's black gold.” No previous experience is needed – we guide you all the way. You will have the chance to lift the traps, clean them (hopefully with lobster in them!), and bait them before they are lowered again.

A new feature for the season is our lobster aquarium down by the dock, where you can choose your own lobster, which we will then cook right after the tour.

Our lobster packages include the fishing trip itself, accommodation in our modern studios, lunch, afternoon coffee, and a four-course lobster dinner or a seafood platter with fresh lobster. The next morning, a delightful breakfast buffet awaits.

Marstrand is located close to both Gothenburg and Landvetter, making it easy to get here for an extraordinary experience. End the day with a fantastic lobster dinner and stay comfortably right by the water on Marstrand Island. A memory for life in Bohuslän's magical archipelago!
