Boat rental
We rent out 19-foot aluminum boats for trips in the local area. For those who want to swim on a deserted beach or even for adventures in the Lurøy area.
The boats have sonar and a chartplotter so you can find your way back and forth. Life jackets are included with the boat, so you don’t need to bring your own if you’re big or small. We’ll go through the boat and equipment together when we hand over the boat so that you feel safe on the trip.
There is also emergency equipment in the boat such as a fire extinguisher, flares, drift anchor and simple first aid equipment.
When you rent a boat, it’s important that you remember to bring another garbage bag with you so that no garbage is blown out to sea while you’re on your trip. In our harbor there are garbage cans that you can put everything in as soon as you come ashore.

Freediving
We’ve taken a liking to freediving, and have purchased suits for hire so that you can also try this magical experience when you visit us on Kvarøy. The suits are 7 mm thick so they can be used all year round, even in winter when visibility in the sea is at its best. If you don’t want to dive, it’s a great experience to just snorkel around and look at everything under the surface. The great thing about our wetsuits is that you can stay in the water so much longer without knowing the temperature of the water, and with flippers as well, you’ll be able to reach further and see more on your ocean exploration.
This activity is recommended for young people and adults, preferably together. It’s up to you to decide how challenging the trip will be and how deep you want to go. Together with our boats, you can find nice beaches and bays as a starting point that suits you and your own level. We are happy to help you find the perfect spot for you.
We rent out equipment from our warehouse on Kvarøy, with the opportunity to put on the equipment at the site and go out on a trip. The suits require a little technique to put them on, but we go through that together before you start.
The equipment package for freediving includes 7mm pants and top from Frivannsliv, as well as a lead belt for your weight. A diving mask, snorkel, flippers and, not least, a line with a diving buoy. Everything you need for a safe and good experience in the sea.
Price per day is NOK 899,-

Exploration on the shores
The harbor at Kvarøy is teeming with life on the shore. Children can spend hours searching for crabs, crayfish and wading in the seaweed. If the timing is right, they might even manage to hook a fish. The children who live here on Kvarøy never get tired of exploring the shore, so this activity is highly recommended.
If you want to take a bag for rubbish with you on a trip to the shore or a beach, we have special rolls of bags for standing rubbish, and a separate container for it at the ferry quay for everything you find out in nature.
