About the Valanhamn – Skjervøy kai crossing
06:20 on Thursdays, from 13 August to 17 December 2026. One sailing a week and about eighteen inside the whole window.
Eighteen knots over 11.9 nautical miles
40 minutes across the Kvænangen waters in northern Troms into Skjervøy, the regional centre and fishing port for this stretch of coast.
An early hour on a weekly boat
Twenty past six suits an appointment in town and a return by some other means. Valanhamn is a small settlement on the Arnøya side with no road connection to the mainland.
One chance a week
Skjervøy is better served from other quays — Vorterøy sends five boats a week and Arnøyhamn two late-evening ones. From Valanhamn there is Thursday, and that is all.
