About the Skrolsvik hurtigbåtkai – Harstad hurtigbåtkai crossing
Two sailings a week, and they are on different days at different times. The direct departures we hold from Skrolsvik are 17:40 on Tuesdays and 15:55 on Saturdays. That is the whole of it — a lifeline frequency rather than a transport option, and a schedule you organise a trip around rather than fit into one.
Fifty minutes, seventeen nautical miles
This is an express passenger boat, not a car ferry: no vehicles, and a 50-minute run covering nearly 17 nautical miles between southern Senja and Harstad. The crossing is part of a longer route that also calls at the Bjarkøy islands, which is why the direct pairing is thin while the quay itself sees more traffic.
You now need a ticket before you board
Since 1 February 2026 the express boats across Troms operate a seat guarantee: a ticket is bought in advance for a named departure and the seat is reserved. On a route with two sailings a week this matters more than usual — turning up hopefully is no longer a strategy.
What to do the rest of the week
The alternative from southern Senja is road, and it is a long way round the fjords to Harstad. Anyone depending on this crossing plans it in both directions before setting out, because a missed Tuesday boat means waiting until Saturday.

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 Svipper for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 50m and several sailings a day (first 15:55, last 17:40), 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?
Svipper 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 Svipper, 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.
