How It's Made

The greenhorns fight their way into week two of their trial periods fishing off the Icelandic coast. Caitlin pushes her body past breaking point to match the other fishermen’s physicality, and Greg’s simple mistake jeopardizes the crew’s paycheck.

The greenhorns start their final week of their trial period hungry to secure their place onboard. Greg’s time managing the Hook Machine known as “The Soul Crusher” ends in utter disaster, while Caitlin’s future as a deckhand is hanging on by a thread.

Off the coast of Iceland, the fishing boat Valdimar hits an Arctic storm making fishing nearly impossible and less fish means less money. On the Páll Jónsson, a horrendous injury puts the boat a man down, forcing the crew to work overtime.

After a victorious week off, deckhand Greg is ready to get his sea legs back when a sudden injury hits. Caitlin must prove herself in the extended trial-run or she’ll be forced to pack her bags.

Chaos ensues in the Arctic Circle when the Valdimar’s generator cuts out, leaving the crew dangerously adrift. Greg’s debilitating injury keeps him anchored on dry land and Caitlin undertakes her final test in uncharted waters.

Captain Benni must send the Páll Jónsson into The Void: a deeper fishing ground to the far north of the Artic Circle. Caitlin earns a permanent spot onboard and Greg’s last-minute decision has massive consequences.

From the Lone Star State to the Artic Circle, new greenhorn Andrew comes aboard the Valdimar to start his grueling three-week trial. Disaster strikes when the Páll Jónsson sails back to The Void, and Caitlin’s mistake unleashes the wrath of Ingo.

With a super storm on the horizon, Captain Frosti changes course and sails the Valdimar to “Crazy Ridge.” Caitlin is tested when turbulent waters strike the Páll Jónsson, and greenhorn Andrew’s rashness puts his trial in jeopardy.

It’s a race to the finish line as the Páll Jónsson and the Valdimar start their last fishing trip of the season. A fierce Atlantic storm tests Andrew’s focus during his final trial week, and a man down forces Caitlin to step up her game.

It’s high season for Icelandic fishing where catches are bigger than the storms. Deckhand Andrew faces an epic Arctic cyclone and sleepless nights, while sudden steering malfunctions leave the Páll Jónsson exposed at sea.

The deckhands embark on their final week aboard. Caitlin struggles with painful tendonitis during a storm that jeopardizes the prize catch of the season. Meanwhile, Andrew feels the heat with the fast-paced duties on the Valdimar.

During the final shift, a severe winter storm strikes the Páll Jónsson and Caitlin perseveres through her injury to save the day. Then, Andrew uses his knowledge, strength, and determination to land every single cod and receives one final surprise.
