description
Approach and maritime conditions: Bjørnsund is located at the southern end of Hustadvika, a couple of nautical miles offshore from Bud. The fishing village consists of three main islands: Søndre Bjørnsund, Hammarøya, and Nordre Bjørnsund.
Approach
It is possible to approach the islands from various directions. If you are coming from the north through the inner route via Hustadvika, turn west at Bud and pass through Bjørnøysundet (between Nordre Bjørnsund and Bjørnøya). Watch out for the unmarked Digergallet to port before you go through Bjørnøysundet. If you come from the north along the outer route past Hustadvika, keep well inside Galdeskjæra and head towards Bjørnsund Lighthouse. If the sea is not rough, pass between the small island Bollen and the lighthouse island (Måøya), and then navigate around the east or west side of Søndre Bjørnsund. If the sea is rough, it may be safer to head towards Bud and arrive at Bjørnsund through Bjørnøysundet. If you are coming from the south along the route from Ålesund, either continue towards outer Hustadvika and turn in between Bollen and the lighthouse island (Måøya), or go south of Søre Orholmskjæret and navigate carefully past the stakes. Common to all approaches is that the waters are treacherous, and you must closely monitor the chart/GPS.
The harbor at Nordre Bjørnsund is shallow and has several unmarked reefs. See the pictures, where a typical spot where many sailboats ground is marked. There is also a 22-meter air clearance on the way into the harbor.
Mooring: In Bjørnsund, there are two docks with space for guests. The first is a floating dock located by the breakwater, right inside the harbor. A bit further into the harbor (keep starboard) there is also a new floating dock (2021), with space for two guests at the outermost part (longside on the corner you reach first, and on the outside of the first finger pier you come to). Both places accept payment via Vipps. Some boats also moor longside on the breakwater at the innermost part of the harbor.
