We rent our boats only to our cottage customers.
Ylöstalo Farm is located close to one of Finland's best fishing areas making the place ideal for fishing trips and archipelago cruises. Ylöstalo Farm is situated only under 2 hours trip from Helsinki Port, without queuing to the ferries. The two simple reasons why our cottages and motorboats are so popular among Baltic catch and release fishermen.
There are a total of 8 rental speedboats (20, 30 and 60 hp). Boats can stay just in front of the cottages or in Ylöstalo's own port, where is a slipway for the boats and a place for boat trailers, too.
For the beginners, a local fishing guide can take you through your first steps, so that soon you are experiencing the excitement of sea fishing. You will receive the right equipment and the guide will take you to the best fishing spots. And for those keen fishermen - well, you can just get on with it.
Särkisalo is famous for its big pikes. The ever-biggest pikes in Finland are caught near Ylöstalo cottages, and every year the fishermen get several over 10 kg pikes. Fishing is mostly catch and release, smaller fish are prepared for food, too. The best season for big pike at the sea area is in the spring, before the spawning period in April and May. Also autumn is good fishing season, from September to November.
Big flocks of Baltic herrings attract the pike-perches and pikes to have their meals in the sea areas surrounding Särkisalo, also in the autumn. The most important fish arts are pike, pike-perch (zander), perch, brown trout, whitefish and baltic herring.
Watch the scenery in front of the cottages.

Services for fishing groups
