About the Jelsa ferjekai – Foldøy ferjekai crossing
One departure runs on Wednesdays at 18:55; the other on Mondays and Fridays at 08:25. Between them they cover three days of the week, and the other four carry nothing at all on this pairing.
Morning on two days, evening on one
The Monday and Friday sailing is an early one; the Wednesday sailing is late. They serve opposite ends of a day, which means the route works differently depending on which day you travel — outbound early at the start and end of the week, and late in the middle of it.
Twenty minutes over two miles
The crossing covers 2.2 nautical miles in the Ryfylke islands. Twenty minutes for that distance suggests calls on the way; Foldøy is one of several small islands the boats here work through in a single run.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 5 January 2027. With three service days and no overlap between the two sailings, the return leg needs checking on its own schedule before the outbound is worth taking.
