description
Well-sheltered harbor, we had up to 15-20 m/s out at sea, but it was quite comfortable with 7-8 inside the harbor. Reasonable harbor fee of NOK 200, payable via Vipps. Decent floating dock, but no bollards, just a longitudinal pipe with some sharp edges. Nice area with facilitated hiking opportunities, and it seemed like an active local community with dance and live music at the culture hotel.

Approach and maritime conditions: The fast ferry stops several times a day (docks on the other side of the narrow channel, near the sea house).
Thus, a good spot for crew changes.
Less suitable for swimming from the boat for the same reason.
Footpath over the bridge to the Sea House, which has both food service and canoe rentals. A canoe trip is highly recommended, you can also paddle to the end of the bay where there are facilities for grilling and making a bonfire, as well as a nice beach.
Mooring: The guest dock is in the southeast of the bay, and there you will find an L-shaped floating dock. There is both longside mooring and fingers where boats can moor in berths.
Røvær is a popular harbor, and if the guest dock is full, many also anchor further northwest in the bay. There is supposed to be a sewage pipeline between the northern and southern entrances to the harbor (not marked on the nautical chart in 2021), so you should anchor well into Suggevågen.
In the northern entrance to Røvær, there are two inlets inside Nipsholmen and Holkopp. They are well protected and marked with anchors on the nautical charts. In 2021, the seabed conditions were challenging here, with a lot of kelp making it difficult to get a hold with the anchor.
The Area: If the guest harbor is full, it is alternatively possible to dock at the cultural hotel "around the corner".
