About the Kapelløya Ny-Hellesund – Helgøya Ny-Hellesund crossing
Two hundred metres, two minutes, ten sailings a day. The two islands sit either side of the narrow sound at Ny-Hellesund, and the boat exists because there is no other way between them.
Six run every day
09:20, 10:45, 12:45, 16:05, 18:05 and 19:45. The other four are split: 10:15 and 15:45 on weekdays, 09:45 and 16:15 at weekends.
A three-hour hole after lunch
Between 12:45 and 15:45 the daily service pauses, and at the weekend the pause runs to 16:05. On a two-minute crossing that gap is the only thing worth planning around.
6 August to 18 December 2026
Ny-Hellesund is a protected historic harbour in Søgne, on the Agder coast — a cluster of small islands with an old pilot station and no cars. The service holds through the autumn rather than stopping with the season.
