About the Skjærhalden fergeleie – Makø fergeleie crossing
One sailing a day, at 18.05, and at 25 minutes it is the longest scheduled crossing in the network. Straight from the mainland terminal to Makø, calling nowhere in between.
The only direct run
Every other route to Makø goes round the circuit through Sanne and Gravningsund. This one does not — which is what makes it both the longest single hop and the quickest way there, since the circuit takes the ferry a quarter of an hour to work through the intermediate piers.
Getting back
Makø's returns are at 21.00 direct to Nedgården, or 15.00 and 18.30 on the reverse circuit. Nothing leaves Makø for Skjærhalden directly, so the journey home involves a change of leg whichever option you take.
Practical
A single request-only departure: no booking, no sailing. Vehicles and freight must be reserved, and the ticket bought separately afterwards. Passengers travel free. Run for Østfold kollektivtrafikk by Norled.
