About the Eidssund hurtigbåtkai – Byre hurtigbåtkai crossing
Half past four, four days a week. Monday through Thursday carry the boat; Friday, Saturday and Sunday carry nothing.
A working-week route that stops before the weekend
Most thin Norwegian routes drop Saturday and Sunday. Dropping Friday as well is less common, and it means the last chance in any week is Thursday afternoon.
Eighteen knots over 4.6 nautical miles
Fifteen minutes across the Ryfylke fjords. The Eidssund hurtigbåt quay is separate from the car ferry landing nearby, and the two carry different traffic on different days.
6 August to 30 December 2026
Byre is a small quay further into the fjord system; the run from Tau reaches it on a completely different set of days.
