About the Utbjoa hurtigbåtkai – Leirvik båtkai crossing
14:30 on Fridays, and nothing else all week. The boat covers 7 nautical miles in 20 minutes from Utbjoa across to Leirvik on Stord — a single weekly connection between a small mainland quay and the largest town in Sunnhordland.
Twenty knots, once a week
Seven miles in twenty minutes is express-craft pace. The speed is what makes a weekly service worth contracting at all: a slower boat could not make the trip and return within an afternoon.
Friday afternoon has a purpose
Half past two on a Friday moves people towards the weekend and towards the town — shopping, appointments, connections onward from Leirvik. Nothing about the timing suits a commute.
Current plan
The sailing is listed to 11 December 2026. With one departure a week the return runs on a separate schedule and has to be confirmed before the outbound is worth taking.
