About the Sandøya ferjekai – Brevik ferjekai crossing
Twelve departures run every day, from 09:45 to 23:35. Six more run Monday to Saturday from 05:20, two on weekdays in the afternoon, and two at 21:35 and 22:15 on every day except Friday.
The exception is Friday
That late pair skips Friday of all nights — the one most people would expect it to cover. The all-week service still runs to 23:35, so the island is not cut off, but the choice narrows.
Thirteen minutes across the Frierfjord
The crossing covers 1 nautical mile to Brevik in Telemark. Sandøya has no road connection, which is why the timetable stretches from before dawn to nearly midnight.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 20 December 2026. The Bjørkøya service uses the same mainland quay on a much thinner schedule.

How much does a ticket cost?

Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings run daily, 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?
Yes — Farte carries vehicles on this route. Book your car space in advance, especially in peak season, and check the specific sailing for size limits.
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 Farte, 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.
