About
About Kårholmen
Kårholmen is a transfer point rather than a destination. Its two connections run to the outer islands — Donsö at 6 to 11 minutes and Vrångö at 7 to 9 — and the direction you travel changes the journey time by half.
The asymmetry runs through everything here. Boats leave for Donsö from 00:30 and for Vrångö from 08:28, while arrivals begin at 08:23 and 00:25 respectively. Weekly sailings sit between 30 and 32 on all four services, so no single link dominates.
The landing serves Styrsö's southern shore in Gothenburg's car-free southern archipelago, where Västtrafik runs the boats as ordinary regional transport. Between five and seven day patterns cover each route, and the two directions of the same crossing do not always share a calendar — a detail worth checking before assuming a return exists.
