Captain Karri Kuuttila invites you to join him on board Helsinki Fishing Charter for an angling adventure on the inshore waters of Finland’s capital! If you’ve never had the chance to test your skills in these productive waters, now is as good as time as any to give it a go. Your guide has years of experience in the area and he loves putting his customers on fish.

There are several species that are the most common catches here, and depending on your preferences and time on the water, you can decide what you’d like to target. Zander, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch are abundant in these waters, and Capt. Karri knows all their hiding spots.

Both half day and full day trips are organized in a way that will make your experience as fun and comfortable as possible. You’ll meet with the captain, travel to the fishing grounds (up to 30 minutes), and spend a couple of hours fishing. After that, you’ll take a break, have lunch, relax and come back to your rod for several more hours.

You’ll be fishing out of a 14’ center console that can accommodate up to 2 anglers. The vessel is stable and fast thanks to a 20 HP Mercury engine and features all the necessary electronics to help you find your prey. You’ll use top-notch Shimano gear to get your catch into the boat, and you can try out different techniques to see which one will be the most productive.

Capt. Karri makes it his business to put you on solid fishing action and organize a memorable excursion for you and your family or friends. Helsinki Fishing Trip will open new fishing spheres for you, all you have to do is pick a date!

Captain Karri has been fishing the archipelago for a decade. He was first introduced to fishing by his father who taught him the hot spots of coastal Helsinki. He started running charters in 2018 and finds no greater joy than seeing customers catch their first fish or personal best. Size matters in fishing!
