About the Evenes hurtigbåtkai – Kjeldebotn hurtigbåtkai crossing
11:25 and 17:35, Monday to Friday. Two departures, no weekend service, and a crossing of 2.9 nautical miles in 10 minutes across the Ofotfjord.
Midday and late afternoon
Six hours between the two sailings means a visit to the far side is either short or a full working day. There is nothing earlier and nothing later on any day of the week.
Three miles at seventeen knots
Evenes is where the regional airport sits; Kjeldebotn is on the southern shore. The road between them runs round the head of the fjord, which is what a ten-minute boat is worth.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 29 January 2027. Saturday and Sunday carry nothing at all.

Nordland fylkeskommune 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 Nordland fylkeskommune, 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.
