About the Vikedal hurtigbåtkai – Sandeid hurtigbåtkai crossing
Four sailings, split evenly between two days. Friday carries 13:00 and 20:25; Sunday carries 14:25 and 18:45. Monday to Thursday and Saturday carry none.
Two days, four chances
Each service day offers an early-afternoon and an evening option, which is enough for a return trip within the day. That is more than most twice-weekly routes manage.
Ten minutes over three miles
The crossing covers 2.8 nautical miles in Ryfylke. At seventeen knots the boat is not hurrying; the constraint on this route is which day rather than how long.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 2 January 2027. The Nedstrand service into the same water runs on Sundays only.
