About the Utsira nord ferjekai – Garpaskjær ferjekai crossing
12.8 nautical miles of North Sea, timed at 70 minutes, with nine departures spread across eight calendars. Utsira lies well out from the Rogaland coast, and this ferry is how the island is reached.
No two days are the same
06:30 weekdays; 09:00 Thursday to Sunday; 09:30 Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; 10:00 Tuesday only; 12:30 Thursday only; 13:30 and 16:30 Saturday; 14:45 Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday; 17:45 every day except Saturday.
Thursday gets five boats, Tuesday three
Saturday also gets three, and two of them — the 13:30 and the 16:30 — exist on no other day. This is not a weekday-and-weekend split; it is eight separate answers to eight separate demands.
Eleven knots, and weather
Garpaskjær is the Haugesund quay. The crossing is exposed for its whole length, and on a route with one or two sailings on some days a cancellation is not a delay — it is a lost day. Listed to 4 January 2027.

How much does a ticket cost?

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?
Kolumbus 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 Kolumbus, 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.
