About the Sandvær hurtigbåtkai – BrasøyFK hurtigbåtkai crossing
Two departures, and Thursday is the only day with both. The 07:05 runs Monday to Friday; the 09:10 runs on Thursdays alone.
Fourteen knots over 4.7 nautical miles
20 minutes among the Herøy islands on the Helgeland coast. Brasøy is one of the small inhabited islands there; Sandvær is further out, a scatter of low rocks with a handful of houses.
The weekend is empty
Saturday and Sunday carry nothing. Six sailings a week, five of them at the same early hour, and the Thursday extra is the only variation the timetable offers.
7 August 2026 to 29 January 2027
Sandvær is also reached from Flostad on a Thursday-only service that does not start until September — so for a month this early boat is the whole of it.

Frequently asked questions
Which company runs this ferry?
Operated by Nordland fylkeskommune.
What time does the ferry leave?
Departs at 07:05.
How many times a day does it sail?
One sailing a day.
How long is the ferry ride?

Is there a ferry back from BrasøyFK?

How much does a ticket cost?
On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Nordland fylkeskommune for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 20m and several sailings a day (first 07:05, last 09:10), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
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?
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.
