About the Melfjordbotn hurtigbåtkai – Kilboghamn hurtigbåtkai crossing
These departures do not begin until 1 November 2026. The plan listed here is the winter edition, valid through to 31 January 2027, so it is not a service you can board today — it is the next published version of one. The crossing takes 60 minutes over roughly 10.7 nautical miles.
Two sailings, both in the afternoon
One leaves at 15:30 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The other leaves at 19:00 on Fridays alone. Monday to Thursday there is nothing at all, which on a route serving the inner reaches of the Melfjord makes the weekend the only practical travelling window.
An hour for ten miles
That pace is slow for an express craft, which means the boat is calling at intermediate landings rather than running direct. In this part of Nordland the small stops are the reason the service exists, and they are what stretches the timing.
What runs before November
Express-boat contracts here are published as dated blocks with real gaps between them rather than a continuous timetable. If you need this water before the winter edition begins, check the Kilboghamn car ferry services instead — they run to a different schedule and carry vehicles.
