description
Entry and Maritime Conditions: Løvøya is located outside Horten. There are a total of four buoys located on the southeast side of Løvøya. If your boat is lower than 2.8 meters, you can pass through Løvøysundet. If it is higher, you must enter through Vealøsrenna further south.
Anchorage: Approximately 7m
The Area: Løvøya is a popular island just north of Horten center. Here, you can stay overnight safely in all wind directions. To get to Horten, it is best to use a tender. There is a canal from the Horten shipyard area to Fyllingen marina. Løvøysund is a well-known fishing spot. The island itself is a great hiking area with attractions such as the old chapel built in the 1300s. It was at Løvøysund that Skagerrak's sea hero Tordenskjold had his vessels careened.
