About the Verftet Ny-Hellesund – Kapelløya Ny-Hellesund crossing
Two-tenths of a nautical mile and five minutes, ten departures a day, 56 sailings a week from 09:15 to 19:40 under three day patterns.
Both ends of this crossing are inside the same natural harbour. The boat moves between two of the three islands that form Ny-Hellesund, a distance you could shout across.
The harbour was one of the great shelters on the Norwegian south coast in the age of sail, where ships waited for wind to round the headland. Kapelløya carries a rock face inscribed by prisoners during the Second World War, and the painter Amaldus Nielsen worked the same shoreline repeatedly in the 1880s. A five-minute ferry serves all of it.
