About the Vormestrand hurtigbåtkai – Nedstrand hurtigbåtkai crossing
19:20, Sundays only. Paired with the Friday lunchtime boat going the other way, the two sailings define a fixed two-night trip: out at 12:35 on Friday, back at twenty past seven on Sunday evening.
No other combination exists
There is no second departure in either direction and no other day with service. A shorter visit is not possible and a longer one means finding the road, which from Vormestrand is not a short answer.
