About the Sørarnøy ferjekai – Sund ferjekai crossing
Three departures run Monday to Friday, one at weekends, one every day. The weekday group spans 08:40 to 20:50; the all-week sailing is at 19:25; and a single boat at 09:40 runs on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Five sailings in total, over 4.3 nautical miles.
Thirty minutes for four miles
That pace suggests calls along the way rather than a direct crossing. Sørarnøy sits among the islands off Gildeskål, where ferry routes commonly thread several small quays before reaching the mainland at Sund.
The weekend is thinner, not absent
Saturday and Sunday carry two sailings against the weekday four. That is a reduction rather than a shutdown — but on a route where the gap between boats can run to several hours, losing two of four changes what a day trip looks like.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 31 January 2027. With only one sailing that runs every day, the day of the week is the first thing to check.

5 sailings a day, every day.

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 30m and several sailings a day (first 08:40, last 20:50), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
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.
