description
The harbour has a new and sturdy floating dock with good depth - I measured 10 meters at high tide. The approach is straightforward, and it is easy to dock.
An important caveat is that the dock is completely exposed to the fjord on one long side. Already at 5-8 m/s, waves built up that broke over the outer side, making conditions so unstable that it was impossible to stay there. (7 m/s is quite common in such fjords.)
In practice, there is therefore only one usable spot - on the inside. I recommend arriving early and having an alternative harbour as a backup if the spot is taken. Facilities such as electricity and water are available, and the surrounding area is quiet and pleasant with a shop and millstone museum within walking distance.
