description
Very nice area to be a tourist in. We attempted to stay overnight at the dock, but had to give up. Waves from boats passing through the strait became too violent, as there is no protection against waves. The waves hit from these boats, and they quickly return from the shore. The worst was when pleasure crafts passed at high speed.

description
Approach and maritime conditions: The port at Herøy farm is located on Flåværleia, which runs from Breisundet near Ålesund to Stadt. Approach is possible on both sides of Stegleholmen, but these are not marked other than what is found on nautical charts. Visitors, including sailboats, can dock on one side of the quay/floating dock and it is 2.3 m at low tide. In Flåværleia, there is commercial traffic that can create some waves. Be mindful of wind from the north.
Mooring: At Herøy farm, there is a fixed quay and a simple floating dock that can be used freely. The depth is 2.3 meters, and one can sail in from Flåværleia on both sides of Stegleholmen. In the sanitary building behind the museum, there is a freshwater tap and a 24-hour toilet during the period from June to August. In the parking lot (200 m walk) there are waste containers. On the opposite side, in Herøysundet, one can moor to the land and anchor in the harbor. The depth is 7.7 meters. See nautical charts for details.
The area: The island of Herøy has had a central place in the region for over 1000 years. There was a church site with a guild hall in the Middle Ages, a court site, a parsonage, and a trading post until 1916. Herøy was the first important harbor north of Stadt and the island lies in Flåværleia - the fairway that has always borne seafarers either straight through to other destinations or to a safe harbor in the fairway itself. Today, one can visit Herøy farm with the coastal museum and the Sunnmørsjekt Anna Olava, which constitutes the old trading post as it looked in the 1700s and 1800s. Herøy farm is also a key site along the Coastal Pilgrimage Route and is a beautiful recreation area. One can reach the island by both boat and car. For more information, contact Herøy coastal museum at 480 46 338 / kystmuseum@heroy.kommune.no
