About the Bolga hurtigbåtkai – Ørnes hurtigbåtkai crossing
23:58 on Fridays, and 09:25 on Tuesdays. Two departures, two days, and one of them leaves as close to midnight as a timetable can get without crossing it. The crossing covers 11.6 nautical miles in 35 minutes.
What a 23:58 sailing is for
A Friday departure at that hour is the last movement of the week: people finishing late, connections arriving from elsewhere, freight that could not wait. It is not a convenience, it is a closing door.
Twelve miles at twenty knots
Bolga is an island in Meløy; Ørnes is the mainland hub. The express boat covers the distance in a little over half an hour, which is what makes a twice-weekly link workable at all.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 29 January 2027. Tuesday morning and Friday midnight are five days apart in one direction and two in the other — the calendar is lopsided.

How much does a ticket cost?

Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings operate on selected days, and frequency can change between the summer and winter seasons. The timetable above shows the latest published departures — confirm with the operator for off-season dates.
Can I take a car on this ferry?
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.
