About the Bjarkøy hurtigbåtkai – Harstad hurtigbåtkai crossing
This timetable starts on 11 August 2026 and holds one departure: 20:15 on Tuesdays. Before that date the pattern shown here does not apply, and after it there is still only the one sailing a week — 40 minutes across 11.9 nautical miles to Harstad.
An evening departure once a week
Quarter past eight on a Tuesday evening serves neither commuting nor day trips. It is a connection for people who need to be in Harstad rather than a service anyone would choose, and its value lies in existing at all.
Part of a wider island network
Bjarkøy is a call on the Harstad express-boat routes that also reach southern Senja, which is why the direct pairing looks so thin: the quay sees more traffic than this single listing suggests, but not on this exact pair of endpoints.
Tickets are bought in advance
Express boats across Troms operate a seat guarantee, with a ticket bought for a named departure before travelling. On a weekly sailing that is not a formality. The listed plan runs to 29 December 2026.
