About the Nedstrand hurtigbåtkai – Vikedal hurtigbåtkai crossing
Two departures, at 13:55 and 18:15, and both run on Sundays only. Monday to Saturday this pairing carries nothing. The crossing covers 9.2 nautical miles in 30 minutes through the Ryfylke fjords.
Four hours and twenty minutes apart
That gap is the whole of the choice. A day using both sailings gives a little over four hours at the far end; anything else means one-way travel with a road return.
Nine miles in half an hour
The pace is express-boat pace, which is what makes a Sunday-only service viable at all — a slower vessel could not cover the distance twice in an afternoon and still be useful.
Current plan
The listed sailings run to 2 January 2027. A single-day timetable leaves no room for error: the return leg runs to its own schedule and needs confirming before the outbound is booked.
