About the Fiskebøl ferjekai – Melbu ferjekai crossing
Eleven departures a day and 76 sailings a week connect Lofoten to Vesterålen here — 4.1 nautical miles across the Hadselfjorden in 25 minutes, from 07:10 to 22:10, on two day patterns.
Two calendars for eleven daily sailings is a simple sheet by Nordland standards, and it reflects what the route is: a link in the national road network rather than a local island service.
Fiskebøl sits at the northern end of Austvågøya, where the E10 through Lofoten reaches the water; Melbu is on Hadseløya on the far side. Anyone driving the archipelago from Å to Narvik crosses here or takes the long way round through Lødingen. That is why a ferry between two small villages runs eleven times a day.

Can I take a car on this ferry?
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.
