About the Harstad hurtigbåtkai – Kjøtta crossing
Seven daily sailings connect Harstad with the island of Kjøtta, creating a ten-minute link that forms part of a wider local ferry network. Svipper operates the service every day, with the first boat leaving Harstad at 13:20 and the last at 19:30. The crossing covers a distance of approximately 6 nautical miles.
Onward Connections
The main function of this short crossing is to integrate Kjøtta into the regional transport system. From Kjøtta, passenger ferries continue onward to Krøttøy and Sandsøy, providing further island access. Travellers arriving in Kjøtta can therefore construct multi-stop journeys through the archipelago using these connecting services.
The departure point, Harstad, is a significant hub for ferry services in the region. From its main quay (hurtigbåtkai), separate routes operate to Bjarkøy, Engenes, Finnsnes, Krøttøy, and Skrolsvik. This makes Harstad the primary interchange for ferry travel in this part of northern Norway. Fares on the Kjøtta route are set by the national AutoPASS system, which primarily charges for vehicles based on length.

How much does a ticket cost?
On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price.

Sailings run daily, and frequency can change between the summer and winter seasons. The timetable above shows the latest published departures — confirm with the operator for off-season dates.
Can I take a car on this ferry?
Svipper 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 Svipper, 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.
