description
Approach and maritime conditions: Golta lies west of Sotra, not far from Glesvær. Easy approach from the sea to the west.
Anchorage: There is only one public quay with good depth. It is also possible to anchor, but the depth is about 16m.
The area: Golta is separated from the island of Sotra by a narrow channel called Goltastraumen. Over this runs the Golta bridge. Fishing was abundant in the bays around Golta, and schools of herring and mackerel frequently swam into the narrow inlets that could be closed off with nets. The island's inhabitants were therefore wealthy in the 18th and 19th centuries. From the late 1800s, fishing was organized into a seine net team, which operated until around 1950.
