About the Eidesvik båtkai – Espevær båtkai crossing
Departures from the mainland run ten minutes later at each end — 06:35 to 22:05 against 06:25 to 21:30 — with the same thirteen daily sailings, 60 a week, six calendars.
The half-hour later finish is what matters: the last boat out to the island leaves after ten at night, so someone can spend an evening on Bømlo and still get home.
Bømlo itself is a substantial island municipality with shipyards, fish farms and around twelve thousand people, connected north to Stord by bridges and tunnels. Espevær, ten minutes offshore from its western side, is a different scale entirely — and the ferry between them is the difference between a living island and a summer one.

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?
Skyss 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 Skyss, 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.
