About the Tomma kai – Handnesøya hurtigbåtkai crossing
Quarter to nine in the evening, every day, and nothing else. The return leg goes at 22:00 — an hour and a quarter later, which is the boat working further out and coming back.
Fourteen knots over 1.6 nautical miles
7 minutes between two islands in the Nesna waters of Helgeland. The reverse direction is timed at ten minutes for the same water, which is the difference between a call on the way and a call at the end.
Every day including Sunday
A single sailing with a full seven-day calendar is a rare shape — most routes this thin drop the weekend. This one runs 365 times a year at the same minute.
7 August 2026 to 31 January 2027
Tomma is the larger island, recognisable from a long way off by its mountain. Handnesøya sits between it and the mainland at Nesna.
