Fiskeværet Skipnes
The Skipnes Fishing Village is located in beautiful natural surroundings that feature the best that Vesterålen has to offer. Join us and experience a close relationship to mountains and fjords, birds and fish, the midnight sun and much more, all in historic and peaceful surroundings.
The venerable old fishing village of Skipnes offers rorbu holidays and memorable experiences. The facility is located on the non-trafficked seaward side of the Vesterålen islands, well sheltered on a natural harbour. Come to Skipnes and enjoy rorbu accommodations. Peace, calmness and renewed inspiration for the soul.
We have 50 beds distributed among 7 rorbu cabins. Each fisherman cabin has from 3 to 11 beds, a small kitchen and toilet/shower facilities.

Each week, primarily on Saturdays, different concerts are arranged.
We have a the reception, cafe/restaurant and a small shop with sweets and a small selection of "treasers". We also have a gallery/art exhibition and you will serve you all of our tasty dishes here.
Here you can also sit down and have a drink and relax. If the weather is nice, you can enjoy our outdoor seating which consists of a 150 meter long wooden pier in fantastic surroundings.
