About the Solfjellsjøen ferjekai – Vandve ferjekai crossing
4.7 nautical miles, and the timetable allows 50 minutes. Under six knots. On the Dønna coast that arithmetic means a call at another quay in between rather than a slow vessel.
Nine departures, five calendars
Four are weekday-only: 06:10, 10:00, 14:10, 19:00. Two are Saturday: 08:50 and 16:25. The 12:25 covers Thursday to Sunday, the 15:25 Friday to Sunday, and the 16:45 is Friday alone.
Friday has seven, Sunday two
Add them by day and Friday collects everything except the Saturday pair. Sunday gets the 12:25 and the 15:25, and the last of those leaves in the middle of the afternoon.
Listed to 31 January 2027
Vandve is a small island community off Dønna with no road connection. The evening 19:00 exists only on weekdays, which shapes what a weekend visit has to look like.
