About the Bodø hurtigbåtkai – Sørarnøy hurtigbåtkai crossing
Not one departure here runs the whole week. 08:00 goes Monday to Friday; 16:15 Monday to Saturday; 16:45 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays; 19:30 on Wednesdays alone.
Two boats half an hour apart
The 16:15 and 16:45 sailings sit close together but on different day sets, so they never both run on a Sunday or a weekday — only Friday and Saturday carry the pair. Reading this timetable by hour would suggest a frequency the route does not have.
Thirteen miles in half an hour
The crossing covers 12.8 nautical miles out from Bodø into the Gildeskål islands. At express pace that is a short run; the constraint is which day you are travelling, not how far.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 31 January 2027. Wednesday is the only day carrying an evening sailing, which makes it the odd one out in both directions.

Nordland fylkeskommune does not list vehicle space on this service — plan to travel as a foot passenger. If you need to bring a car, check with the operator for alternative crossings.
Can I take a pet on this ferry?
Most ferry operators allow pets on this route, usually in a carrier, on deck or in designated pet areas or cabins, and registered assistance dogs travel free. Rules and any fees vary by operator and vessel — check with Nordland fylkeskommune, so declare your pet when booking.
What's the luggage allowance?
Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
