About the Monsøya Ny-Hellesund – Skarpøya crossing
09:25, 12:50 and 18:10 run every day. The other four split: 10:20 and 15:50 on weekdays, 09:50 and 16:20 at weekends.
Three hours with nothing after lunch
Between 12:50 and 15:50 no weekday boat runs, and at the weekend the wait stretches to 16:20. On a ten-minute crossing that afternoon hole is the only real constraint.
Ten minutes over 0.6 nautical miles
Four knots — slow enough that the call at each quay is most of it. Monsøya is one of the three islands that make up Ny-Hellesund on the Agder coast; the Kapelløya to Helgøya hop is its neighbour and runs a similar shape.
6 August to 18 December 2026
The service holds well past the summer. Ny-Hellesund has been a harbour of refuge on this coast for centuries and the boats are still the only way between its parts.
