About the Sørarnøy ferjekai – Horsdal ferjekai crossing
11:05, 15:20 and 18:05 run every day; 07:05 runs Monday to Friday. A weekday gets four sailings, a weekend three — and the one that disappears is the early one.
Six knots over 3.2 nautical miles
30 minutes on the Gildeskål coast, which at that pace means a call at another quay between the two ends rather than a slow vessel.
The return runs thinner
Coming the other way there are five departures but only two of them are daily. The asymmetry means a Sunday round trip works in one direction and has to be planned in the other.
7 August 2026 to 31 January 2027
Twenty-six sailings a week. Sørarnøy is also the arrival point for the 06:50 express from Våg, which lands before the first ferry of the day leaves.

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?
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.
