About the Brøstadbotn hurtigbåtkai – Finnsnes kai crossing
Tuesday is the only day two of these sailings share. The 17:20 departure covers Monday through Wednesday; the 18:05 covers Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Three-day blocks overlapping on one day is the same shape the Engenes service uses into this quay, and it is not an accident — both are built around one vessel’s week.
Where the other five sit
Two run on Saturdays at 09:05 and 16:05, two at weekends at 17:35 and 20:35, and one Monday to Friday at 08:05. No departure on this route runs seven days.
Twelve miles in thirty-five minutes
The crossing covers 11.6 nautical miles from Brostadbotn on Senja across to Finnsnes on the mainland. At twenty knots the express boat does in half an hour what the road around the fjords cannot match.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 30 December 2026. Blocks of three consecutive days are harder to hold in your head than weekday and weekend groups, so this is a timetable to check rather than remember.

Frequently asked questions
Is a return sailing available?
Yes — see the return route for its schedule.
Who operates the service?
Svipper runs this crossing.
When's the last ferry of the day?
The last sailing leaves at 20:35.
How long is the ferry ride?
Around 35m, depending on sea conditions.
Does this ferry cross an international border?
No, it's entirely within Norway.
How many sailings run each day?
7 sailings a day, every day.
How much does a ticket cost?
On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Svipper for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 35m and several sailings a day (first 08:05, last 20:35), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings run daily, 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?
Svipper 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 Svipper, 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.
