About
About Hou Havn (færge)
Departures from Hou leave exactly two and a half hours apart: 07:00, 09:30, 12:00, 14:30, 17:00, 19:30 and 22:00. The hour-long crossing to Sælvig on Samsø holds that interval right across the day, and the boats coming back keep the same spacing shifted by an hour and a quarter.
Sunday is the shorter day. The first sailing, the 19:30 and the 22:00 all run Monday to Saturday only, so the island's weekend service starts at 09:30 and finishes at 17:00 — four departures instead of seven.
Hou is a small harbour on the Jutland coast south of Aarhus, in Odder municipality, and its passenger business is essentially this one route. The mainland end of an island link tends to be a car park with a berth attached; what makes Hou worth the drive is that it is the shortest sea distance to Samsø, and a metronome timetable is what a one-hour crossing allows.
