About the Vorterøy JekthamnaSkjervøy kai crossing

09:05 and 15:35 on Tuesdays and Thursdays; 16:05 on Sundays. Two days with a morning and an afternoon option, one day with a single late-afternoon crossing, and four days with none.

Six and a half hours apart

On a Tuesday or Thursday the gap between the two boats is the whole of the usable day. That is enough for an appointment in Skjervøy and a return, which is presumably the point.

Thirty minutes over 7.5 nautical miles

Fifteen knots across the Kvænangen approaches in northern Troms. Skjervøy is the regional centre and a fishing port; Vorterøy is one of the small island communities that feed into it.

9 August to 27 December 2026

Five sailings a week. The Sunday 16:05 has no partner — it is an arrival, and the way back needs a different day.

Frequently asked questions

Which operator provides this service?

Svipper operates this route.

When's the last ferry of the day?

The last sailing leaves at 16:05.

How long is the ferry ride?

Around 30m, depending on sea conditions.

How often does the ferry run?

3 sailings a day on this route.

Does this ferry cross an international border?

How do I get back from Skjervøy?

Check the Skjervøy to Vorterøy Jekthamna ferry for return times.

How much does a ticket cost?

On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Svipper for the current tariff.

Can I do this as a day trip?

A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 30m and several sailings a day (first 09:05, last 16:05), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.

Does the ferry run all year?

Sailings operate on selected days, 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?

Svipper 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 Svipper, 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.
