Ferries from Hästvom

Three destinations make Hästvom the junction of this circuit: Kalvö at 4 minutes, Florön at 4, and Gåsö at 8 to 10 depending on direction. Nowhere else on the run has more than two.

The Gåsö leg is the odd one out — a single sailing each way, 11:21 out and 16:40 back, five times a week, while the Kalvö and Florön calls run on the main morning and afternoon rounds at 09:07 and 15:23.

That midday Gåsö detour is what makes the difference between a shuttle and a circuit: the vessel leaves the main chain, works out to a further island, and rejoins. Västtrafik operates all of it on a weekday-only calendar. In a group of islands this tightly packed, the timetable is less a list of crossings than a description of one boat's route through the day.
