About the Helnessund hurtigbåtkaiNordskot hurtigbåtkai crossing

Two evening sailings an hour apart, and which one you get depends on the day. The 19:05 runs Monday to Saturday; the 20:05 runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday has only the later; Monday to Thursday only the earlier.

Fifteen minutes over 6.1 nautical miles

Twenty-four knots across the Steigen water in Nordland. Nordskot is a small settlement on the outer side of Steigen, and the express boat is what connects it to the road at Helnessund.

Nothing before seven in the evening

The whole timetable sits in one hour of the day. For anything earlier the road round through Steigen is the only option, and it is not a short one.

Through to 31 January 2027

Nine sailings a week between the two times. Friday and Saturday are the only days that offer a choice at all.
