Listaskøyta Coast Culture Center

Borhaug is a village on the seashore at westernLista, about 2 km from Lista lighthouse. 150 years ago, boat builders started building Lister Boats for local pilots and fishermen in the harbor. Later bigger Lister Skoites were built for freight traffic and fishery. The boat types from Lista became legendary, and wrote fishery history all along the Norwegian coast.
