Beautiful place, but the marina is exposed to weather and wake. The inner harbor (motorboats up to 35 feet) is probably well protected. The worst is for boats between 35 and 40 feet, which are directed to dock on the outside of the southwestern pier. Here you are terribly exposed both to the wake from ferries and passing boats, as well as weather waves in southwesterly wind. For the love of God, use shock absorbers or long spring lines. Avoid double (round trip) mooring lines, as they halve the elasticity. Even in good weather, you must storm moor, because the wake waves will come sooner or later. If there is a strong southwesterly wind, you should be bold enough to take the spaces reserved for 40-50 feet. We are 37 feet and asked the harbor master, and he said we should move to the other side.
It is also wise to check the weather forecast before arrival and pay attention to which direction you lay your bow.

Update on the docks for summer 2025:
On the southern pier, signs have been put up indicating «reserved for 35-40 feet» on the outside and «reserved for 40-50 feet» on the inside.
Similarly, the northern pier is «reserved for boats under 35 feet».
This is due to the gradual upgrade of the old outriggers. On the inside of the southern pier, new and more robust outriggers have been invested in to accommodate larger boats. On the outside of the same pier, it is still the old outriggers that failed in bad weather a few years ago.
These rules are often disregarded by small boats on day trips that dock wherever they please. Arriving at the end of the day when these boats are returning to their cottages can therefore be a good strategy.

Would like to inform you that there are bike rentals available on the island. It is very nice to visit both the north side and the south side.

There is NO restriction to 35 feet in the entire facility! But only boats 35 feet or smaller within the breakwater and on the northern pier. Boats over 35 feet should dock at the southern pier.
Toilet and shower facilities are available at the restaurant in a separate building, approximately 150 meters from the jetty.

Approach and maritime conditions: Simple and safe approach as long as one follows the buoys.
Mooring: Pleasant guest harbor with double berths large enough for one large and one slightly smaller boat. Electricity and water on the dock. Increased harbor fees in 2021 - see photo.
There is a restriction of a maximum of 35 feet for recreational boats at Jomfruland Guest Harbor. This applies to the entire facility.
This is to ensure safety.
Plenty of anchoring spots both north and south of the dock! Often as many boats are anchored here as in the harbor.
The area: Great island to explore by foot or by bike (bike rental right by the lighthouse.) The lighthouse is open for visits, and you can go up to the top. Great view!
The dock cafe sells small fish, soft ice cream, a small selection of groceries, and fresh bread at 9 AM every day!
Haga Coastal Cafe is a simple restaurant with good fish soup, burgers, pizza, some salads, etc.
Shallow beach is great for the little ones.
