Descriptions and reviews

TESO says:

description

Approach and maritime conditions: Beautiful, well-sheltered natural harbor situated at the outermost edge facing the sea.

Easy access, some shoals which are marked.

To reach the Vassøyene, one needs to cross open stretches where there can be fairly large seas. In Ytre Fensfjord and Fedjeosen, there is also heavy traffic of utility vessels ranging from small coastal boats to supertankers. The Hurtigruten passes east of the Vassøyene.
Anchoring: Mooring with anchor towards the cliffs, with anchor towards the mole, or in some places alongside. Some bolts in the cliff, bringing your own is recommended.

One area is fendered with old tires where the bolts in the cliff are located.
The area: Beautiful harbor originally established by the navy. Situated at the outermost edge facing the sea but is sheltered from waves/swells. Rich bird life and fishing.

Great view from the top of the island.

Short distance to Byrknesøy, where fuel, water, and provisions are available.

The Vassøyene is a protected bird reserve, so landing is not permitted between April 1 and August 1, according to the Regulation on the protection of Vassøyene (https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1991-12-20-944/KAPITTEL_1#KAPITTEL_1).

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.

The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 1 hour and 44 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 April 06:28 PM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
