About the Handnesøya hurtigbåtkai – Tomma kai crossing
22:00, seven days a week, and nothing else at all. A single departure with a full weekly calendar is an unusual shape: most thin routes drop the weekend, and this one does not.
Ten minutes over 1.6 nautical miles
Ten knots between two islands in the Nesna waters of Helgeland. Tomma is the larger one, and its mountain makes the island recognisable from a long way off.
Why ten at night
The hour points at a connection rather than a crossing — the last express boat of the evening working its way outward, dropping people who have been on the mainland all day. It is the end of somebody’s journey, not the start of one.
7 August 2026 to 31 January 2027
Seven sailings a week for six months. No variation, no seasonal edition, nothing to check except that you are on the quay by ten.
