About the Kilboghamn ferjekai – Jektvik ferjekai crossing
You cross the Arctic Circle on this boat. The line lies at 66° north and the ferry passes it mid-fjord, which makes this the one crossing on Kystriksveien that people book for its own sake rather than as a means of getting somewhere. It is also the longest ferry passage on that road: 50 minutes over roughly eight nautical miles, across Værangen and the Sørfjorden in Rødøy.
Eleven sailings and seven day patterns
Eleven departures ought to make for a simple timetable. This one does not: four run every day; the rest are split across six further groups, including one at 10:10 that sails on Thursdays only, one Monday-to-Friday at 20:20, one Sunday-only at 09:15 and a Saturday-and-Sunday sailing at 20:30. Almost every departure has its own set of days.
Plan this one, do not chance it
With eleven boats spread across a day and a fifty-minute crossing, the cost of arriving at the wrong hour is high — there is no alternative road and no second quay nearby. The daily core runs 10:00 to 21:45, and the earliest departure, at 06:55, runs Monday to Saturday.
What is on either side
Both quays are small: Kilboghamn on the west side of the Sørfjorden, Jektvik to the north, both within Rødøy municipality. Neither is a town, and services at the quays are limited — a point worth remembering if the gap you are waiting through is a three-hour one.

Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 50m and several sailings a day (first 10:00, last 21:45), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
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?
Nordland fylkeskommune 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 Nordland fylkeskommune, 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.
