About the Musken hurtigbåtkai – Hellmobotn hurtigbåtkai crossing
19:30 on Thursdays and Fridays, 14:05 on Sundays, and the plan ends on 11 September 2026. Two departures inside a season of about five weeks, covering 8.3 nautical miles in 40 minutes.
Deep in the Tysfjord
Hellmobotn sits at the head of one of the inner arms of the Tysfjord, in country with no road access. A summer-only boat is what connects it, and outside those weeks there is nothing scheduled.
Forty minutes for eight miles
Twelve knots is slow for an express craft, which here reflects narrow fjord water rather than the vessel. The route is about reach rather than speed.
Current plan
The listed departures run from 7 August to 11 September 2026. Five weeks, three service days a week — roughly fifteen sailings in the whole period.

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.
