About the Nærøy kai – Barekstad kai crossing
Nine sailings a week, and the only weekend service is a Saturday sheet of its own. The weekdays divide between two more calendars — Monday to Friday, and Monday-Wednesday-Thursday.
Three departures cover 10:10 to 20:10 over 3.1 nautical miles, at five or ten minutes.
Nærøy and Barekstad are landings on the Kinn coast in Vestland, on islands where the Atlantic arrives without much in the way. A ten-hour window with three sailings means the boat is passing through on a wider circuit rather than shuttling — and the Saturday sheet, running on its own calendar, is the only weekend service either landing gets. Nine sailings a week across three departures means most days carry one, and the choice of which is decided by the calendar rather than the hour.
