About the Eidssund hurtigbåtkaiByre 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.
