From 2025 new 24 ft. Pilothouse boat Sting 725 included from 01.04-31.10 - Here comes a real highlight:
From 01.04.2025 the Pilothouse boat Sting PRO 725 Cabin (24 ft.) with Sea Pro Mercury 115 hp outboard engine, model 2025, is included. There is also an inch chart plotter / echo sounder from Garmin, the Echomap UHD 92SV. The boat is 7.25 metres long and almost 2.6 metres wide, self-draining, has a maximum speed of 26 knots and offers space for up to 6 anglers. There are plenty of rod holders on board. The Sting 725 is a really stable and specially developed next-generation high-walled pilothouse boat that is perfect for anglers and North Sea fishermen. Thanks to its special and extremely solid construction, it can even be certified for professional fishing.
Please note: The inclusive boat is not included in the price from 1 November to 31 March (winter storage). It is possible to order a boat during the winter period for an extra charge. Further extra boats are possible, see below.
The advantages - Here you can find out why we decided in favour of the new and even larger Sting boats:
The large boat offers even more space for fishing on the spacious deck with steering position cabin. The space between the bow and the cabin is really large and perfect for stowing fishing equipment or transporting materials. There is plenty of walking space on both sides of the cabin. There are also heavy-duty handrails throughout the boat and on the roof.
There is room for two people in the steering cabin. There is a bench with storage space underneath, a shelf and some storage space behind the bench. The large windows in all four directions give you a great overview. The boat has a lockable sliding door on the starboard side, which is very practical because you don't need more space than necessary. The cabin also has a roof hatch so that there is always enough fresh air coming in.
There is plenty of storage space directly behind the cabin for everything you need to have with you at all times, such as fenders, ropes and fishing equipment. There is enough space in the rear for 2-3 anglers to fish comfortably. The rear bench seat is a real highlight, as it extends across the entire width of the boat and offers three different storage compartments. The petrol tap is located in the starboard storage compartment, the batteries and main switch are located in the middle compartment and the bilge pump is located on the port side. This means that everything is in its place and quickly ready for use. The boat is licence-free for people born before 1980. Fuel (petrol) can be purchased at Lista Airport in canisters provided. Life jackets are available in many sizes.
Boat included in 2024 - Quicksilver Pilothouse 640 with 90 hp
A well-maintained Quicksilver Pilothouse 640 (4 anglers) is included in the house price. This boat has a powerful Mercury 90 hp Optimax, chart plotter and depth sounder, inside-outside steering position, filleting area on board, AIS tracking to determine location, etc. Life jackets / aids are available for almost all sizes. The pilothouse boat requires regular petrol (automatic filling station at the nearby Lista airfield, only with EC or credit card and PIN)

General information about the property:
Holiday home 'Miranda' is located just 50 meters from the Borhaug small boat harbor (Borshavn). Tommy and Liss are the owners and take excellent care of the guests. We have come to the conclusion that this vacation home with its beautiful furnishings and the included boat deserves top marks. The well-kept house, with open kitchen, 5 bedrooms, spacious shower room with WC on the ground floor and a new, fully equipped shower room with WC on the upper floor, is very popular with our guests. Directly at the house is your parking lot, as well as a fenced approx. 100m² terrace with the new winter garden. House Miranda is located in front of a small meadow with a view of the harbor and is well suited for groups and families of up to 9 people, for whom fishing in the best fishing areas of the region, the commendable equipment of the property and the good, large inclusive boat are in the foreground. The vacation site is also ideal for a larger group if you rent one of the neighboring properties, also equipped with 23-26 ft. Cutters, can also be rented. We ourselves have spent our vacation in Borhaug several times and at all times of the year, fishing on the offshore coast and the plateaus (Listaplateau, Fußballfeld, Jölle, Rauna). The catches are magnificent, as the fishing spots are a real highlight in southern Norway. The owner's boats are licensed for up to 6 people (perfect for 4 anglers), have a chart plotter and depth sounder and are moored approx. 80 meters from the house in the new, well-kept harbour of Borhaug Borshavn. In only 100 meters you will find a well-stocked supermarket with nice staff (bakery, groceries, fishing accessories etc). Recommended journey - ferries:
From Hirtshals (DK) to Kristiansand or Stavanger (N). We are happy to help you choose the cheapest ferries ( or ) and book them reliably on request.
The journey time to the properties in the Lista region is approx. 1 hour 45 minutes. The long-distance buses go directly to Lyngdal from Kristiansand or Stavanger. From Lyngdal there is another bus connection to Borhaug near your vacation property (the driver will stop on request).
Directions:
After leaving the ferry/customs, follow the signs to Stavanger/Flekkefjord (E 39).
There are automatic toll booths on the route. Please log on to and register your vehicle there. If you wish to drive through the Autopass lanes without registering, you will later receive an invoice for the fees incurred. Leave the "E39" at the Lyngdal exit and then take the R43 towards Farsund. Follow the RV 43 from Farsund in the direction of Vestbygd / Vanse / Borhaug. From the through road "Postveien" turn left in Borhaug in the direction of "Borshavn". The property is located at the harbor.

Fishing in the sea and fjords
From Borhaug via Farsund to Sigersvoll / Eidsfjorden
We are fishing specialists in Borhaug and the surrounding area. Here you will also find the best and most impressive fishing videos of our fishing friends Achim and Claus from the region Bjoernevag, Farsund and Borhaug of the last 10 years.

Here you can find the fishing videos of "The Achim Videos" 2014 - 2023 on YouTube

For the best fishing spots in the offshore waters (Plateau 'Jölle' in Listafjorden, known as the soccer pitch, and Plateau 'Rauna' near the shipwrecks between Farsund and Borhaug) you will receive a sketch from us after booking. Excellent cod, pollack, coalfish and ling, lump as well as smaller halibut of 10-20 kg and lots of mackerel are regularly brought in from the offshore banks and plateaus. Even large halibut in the 80-kilo class have been caught.
The fishing spots are littered with wrecks that sank before the lighthouse was built at the turn of the century. An insider tip is a wreck near Lista Fyr at a depth of 67 meters, where handsome ling, sometimes also large cod and good pollack cavort. At and around the 'Pollackberg' in the Listafjorden at a depth of 70 meters with its occurrence, strong sea fish, especially pollack, are regularly hooked, as our pictures prove. Ling, pollack and good cod can also be found directly south of the lighthouse, from 45 to 80 meters water depth, at the break-off noses.
But: Keep your boats away from the shore of the lighthouse. There are huge rocks under the surface of the water in front of the shore, and a wave or strong swell would smash your boat on the underwater obstacles.
The Rauna Plateau further to the east, with its sandy trenches and elevations at a depth of 117 m, is also known for its exceptional and very large cod, coalfish and lingfish. The trenches around the plateau are very deep and have yielded huge lingcod and beautiful halibut.
The beaches and piers near Borhaugs offer good opportunities for surf fishing for sea trout, turbot and other flatfish species, especially in spring and early summer. Good specimens are regularly caught on the shallow beaches near the trotting track, Osthasselstrand, Nordhasselstrand and Bausje.
In the outer harbor of Borhaug, from the pier next to the harbor entrance to the sea, there are always plenty of flounder and plaice caught from the shore. This is a good alternative when the north-westerly wind is blowing and you can't go out.
It should be particularly emphasized that the owners in this area take exemplary care of their guests. Don't worry, even on the large boats you will receive detailed instruction and driving practice until you are really confident in handling the watercraft.
Please bear in mind that you are fishing here on the open sea, in one of the best fishing areas in southern Norway with a great variety of species and amazing fish sizes. Your trips out to sea should always be well planned and considered. Check the online weather app several times a day for wind and wave height and don't risk your life for a fish. Your children will be happy when you return home safe and sound.











Fishing in the Eidsfjord near Varnes
The fishing area is located directly in front of the Eidsfjord with its two small skerries in the middle of the fjord, with very good spots for pollack, cod and coalfish. The sandy bottom promises good catches of cod, ling and flatfish. Fishing in the fjord is possible every day. We have often fished in the Eidsfjorden, including at the fjord entrances to the green cliffs with their steep, step-like drop-offs and great depths, in the Stolsfjorden opposite or in the direction of Cape Varnes with its famous pollack spots. There, at Cape Varnes, please fish at a safe distance from the steep banks. The pollack are abundant there among the underwater plants at shallow depths. Do not enter the small bays and harbors, beware of shallows.
In Eidsfjorden itself there are always cod, coalfish, pollack, ling, mackerel in summer, and occasionally salmon and sea trout when trolling. Flounder and plaice like to be found on sandy bottoms. This alternative is ideal in north-westerly winds when you can't go out. In easterly winds, trips are almost always possible. Please bear in mind that you are fishing here in the fjord just before the open sea, probably the best fishing area in southern Norway with a great variety of species and amazing fish sizes. Therefore, your trips should be well planned and considered.
Please check the wind and wave height several times a day on and (click link)

Hobby anglers get their money's worth at Eisdfjorden. Lots of pollack, coalfish and cod in impressive sizes, plenty of mackerel and other sea fish are on the fishing plan. Fancy some crabs? The manager knows where you can catch them by hand. The Eidsfjorden is known for its good water quality and abundance of fish. Follow the advice of the experienced owners and locals and never go out to sea in unsafe weather.
GPS coordinates for the best fishing spots for cod, pollack, ling, lump, coalfish, etc. are provided when you book. On board, you will receive a detailed briefing and driving school until you are really familiar with the boat.

Finally, what can we say about the beautiful Lista region?
It is fascinating to see how the sea changes with the wind, sun and weather and how the play of light transforms the landscape. The Norwegians call it the miniature version of Norway, because all the country's typical cultural and natural elements come together here. Many believe that the Lista region will soon overtake the Lofoten Islands. This is because Norwegians love extreme challenges when it comes to hiking and sporting activities and, in winter, extreme weather with snow and violent storms that are a real spectacle of nature. This is what the Lista region has to offer.
Riding opportunities, an alpaca farm, soccer and volleyball pitches, probably the best outdoor skating track, a large go-kart track on the Lista Fly Plass, a fitness studio with solarium - Borhaug offers its guests all of this to pass the time. A visit to the Lista lighthouse and the rustic stone fields is an absolute must.
In windy or bad fishing weather, head to the coast at Jölle and Snekkestö. If you walk along the shores after a storm, you will find many ancient and maritime objects that the sea has washed up from great depths. Develop a passion for collecting and turn your finds into great eye-catchers for your home. Visit the hidden mountain lakes in the hinterland and spend a lovely day swimming there in summer. Even in Norway, the water can be up to 20 degrees in shallow areas.
Experienced hikers will want to conquer the existing and well-signposted hiking trails (over 200 km in total).
Let yourself be challenged and get active... We wish you lots of fun.
