About the Wyk auf Föhr – Wittdün (Amrum) crossing
The hop between the two big islands takes an hour and does not involve the mainland at all: Wyk auf Föhr to Wittdün on Amrum, seven sailings a day in summer, five in the quieter months. Departures are spread thin — 05:55, 08:15, 10:35, 16:00, 19:00, with a 15:35 at weekends and a 20:55 on Fridays and weekend evenings — so a day trip needs planning around the return rather than the outward leg.
Most of these sailings are the Dagebüll–Amrum boats calling at Föhr en route, which is why the pattern looks irregular: they are timed to the mainland service, not to island-hopping.
At €10.80 single it is the cheapest of the W.D.R.'s adult fares, and unusually the return costs the same €10.80. The crossing runs through the Norderaue, the tidal channel that gave the 2018 ferry its name, and at low water the mudflats on either side are exposed far enough to see the seal banks.
