In many Danish harbours fishing boats will take anglers out to sea for a reasonable charge. Large groups can charter a boat for themselves.

Sea fishing tours are arranged throughout the year from for instance Copenhagen, Elsinore, Korsør, and Frederikshavn. In other harbours, tours are only arranged during the summer months. Local tourist offices in Denmark provide list of addresses, etc.

A fishing licence is required for this type of fishing.

Remember that there is a limit to how small a fish you are allowed to catch and when you are allowed to catch it. All regulations on close seasons, minimum size limits, and preservation zones within the waters are found in the Fishing Act.

Fish and crayfish caught during close season or which do not fullfil the appointed minimum size limit must be released again immediately after being caught, while alive if at all possible. It is no excuse that a fish has been hooked so deeply that it would have perished anyway.

There are protected zones for watercourses with a width of more than 2 m. One zone is a semi-circle with a radius of 500 m, its centre beind the mouth of the water course. There is also a protected through-channel, with a width of 500 m and a length of 100 m directly in front of the mouth of the watercourse. These protected zones are in effect throughout the year.

Bear in mind that local fishing regulations may limit or extend the above close seasons and/or minimum size limits.
