Ferries from Ryggefjord kai

Ryggefjord has four movements a week and all of them stop on 30 September. Havøysund is 8.9 nautical miles away at 45 minutes; Måsøy is 8.1 miles at 25 to 30, with departures at 14:00, 14:45, 19:40 and 20:10.

Forty-five minutes for under nine miles against 25 for eight tells you the Havøysund run is not direct — it works the shoreline, while the Måsøy leg crosses open water.

The fjord is on the mainland side of Måsøy municipality in northern Finnmark, a small inlet on a coast of them, north of the 70th parallel. A service that runs only to the end of September belongs to the light: by mid-November there is no sun here at all, and the settlements that keep a winter boat are the ones with people in them all year.
