The place is really nice and welcoming.
The approach is easy, you just need to pay some attention to the chart. It's wide, beacons are placed where needed.
The finger pontoon are wide and very stable. The style is more of a fishing harbour than of a posh marina and pontoons will not sink even when you jump of them.
The mooring loop may surprise you but they are far more reliable as simply passing the mooring line under under the wood of the pontoon external sides as it's often the case in many Scandinavian harbours. Far better than many mini rings that I have seen more south in Scandinavia. You just need to be ready for something different.
There is electricity on all pontoons, water miss on one of the along side pontoon (the most northern one) but it would be easy to just move the boat on the fixed restaurant quay to fill up if needed.
The prices are a bit higher that what is often seen north of Bergen but remain very reasonable.

Fantastic place, with the most miserable floating docks ever. No bollards, just rope loops of unknown quality. A place so dependent on boat traffic should have something better to offer than this.

This old fishing port is very beautiful. There's plenty of space for visitors, especially on the very long catways. It might be necessary to do some little knots to compensate for the lack of cleats, but it's doable.

The approach is well marked. We arrived at the quay around 00:30 on 26/08-24. Outside the harbor, the wind was up to 21 m/s south-southwest in gusts and strong waves. When we rounded the large industrial islet on the port side, both the wind and waves calmed down. We had arranged mooring at the main quay on the south side of the restaurant. Very good service from the operators of Knutholmen. The harbor was then marked yellow in norskhavneguide.no

Very low standard on the docks, proper mooring cleats are missing, mooring in rope loops more or less randomly placed. The docks give a shabby impression. Expensive relative to the standard, 250 NOK per night without electricity, 300 NOK with electricity, regardless of boat size. No water.

Approach and maritime conditions: Large and well-protected harbor on Frøya.
Mooring: Old docks without cross cleats, making it difficult to moor for a solo sailor if there is some wind. Plenty of space on several floating docks plus some spots along the quay at Knutholmen. Good depths except for the inside of the innermost floating dock on the north side of the harbor. Arrive before 9 PM, otherwise, you will go to bed hungry.
The area: Good dining place at Knutholmen. Two places with washing machines and dryers. Grocery store on the quay. Nice hiking trails in the area.
