About the Nåra kai – Hardbakke kai crossing
Every sailing takes exactly twenty minutes over 4.3 nautical miles — twelve a week, three departures a day, from 08:25 to 15:50, with the weekend empty.
Every sailing takes the same twenty minutes, which on this network usually means a direct run with no intermediate calls.
Twenty minutes is a long run for a Skyss island boat, and the flat timing across every sailing says the vessel takes this leg direct — no calls, no threading. Nåra sits out towards the open Atlantic edge of the Solund archipelago, far enough that the trip is a passage rather than a hop.
The second calendar — Tuesday and Friday only — adds sailings on the two days that carry the heaviest errands, which is how a county fits extra capacity onto a route without running it every day.

Sailings operate on selected days, 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?
Skyss 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 Skyss, 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.
