Varanger Brygge er en familiebedrift etablert i 2020. Gjennom etableringen ønsker vi å tilrettelegge for turistfiske og matopplevelser rundt Varangerfjorden. Med moderne lokaliteter og båter gir vi gjestene mulighet til å utforske fiskeplasser i Varangerfjorden og bearbeide fangstene sine ved toppmoderne fasiliteter.
Vi tilbyr svært gode og komfortable overnattingsmuligheter med stort fokus på både beliggenhet og høy standard. I tillegg legger vi til rette for fiske i lokale fjellvann og elver rundt Varangerfjorden.
Bugøynes
Bugøynes has a unique history that started with Finnish immigrants in the 1800s. A fishing village and a community were established that made a good living from fishing from the Varangerfjord. During World War II, Bugøynes was spared from burning, this unfortunately in contrast to many other local communities in Finnmark. This means that today at Bugøynes we find a unique building mass with many older buildings from the early 1900s and late 1800s. The population was between 500 and 600 people from the late 1800s to the mid-1970s. Then many of the families had their income from the Varangerfjord or the local local fishing industry company. Since then, the population has declined steadily and now counts approx. 200 people. Despite this, Bugøynes has managed to create a good foundation in fishing where more fishermen are also recruited. Delivery of king crab and white fish to our two fish receptions are important jobs in the village. There is also a large increase in the number of tourists who take the trip to Bugøynes to experience the place with its unique location, uniqueness and history. Bugøynes is located 100 km from both Kirkenes and Vadsø and can be easily reached by car or bus. Alternatively, we at Varanger Brygge can pick you up by sea.
På Bugøynes er det åpen butikk 6 dager i uken hvor all nødvendig mat kan kjøpes. Bugøynes har egen Bistro og pub som er åpen alle dager. Her kan du nyte både god mat og lokl drikke. Ellers ønsker Varanger Brygge og være med på å bidra til videre vekst for næringslivet i Bugøynes som i sin tid bidrar til videre eksistensgrunnlag for Bugøynes som et levende lokalsamfunn i Sør-Varanger kommune.
In the longer term, it is an overriding goal that Varanger Brygge is the natural choice for tourist fishermen who want to get in close contact with the good fishing opportunities we have in the area. We will create excitement through unique experiences where the town with its history and location forms the framework and foundation for the business. And that other localities around the Varangerfjord can be used to have the opportunity for other types of fishing.
