About the Eidssund hurtigbåtkai – Jelsa hurtigbåtkai crossing
15:05 on Sundays, and nothing on the other six days. 6.7 nautical miles in 20 minutes across the Ryfylke fjords at twenty knots.
An express boat, not a ferry
The hurtigbåt quay at Eidssund is separate from the car ferry landing that also serves this area. Different vessel, different quay, different timetable — and this one carries no vehicles.
Sunday afternoon
Five past three suits a return at the end of a weekend. The direction of the traffic is written into the hour as clearly as it is into the day.
Listed to 2 January 2027
