Klaksvík is one of the 6 entry ports of the Faroe Islands; the others are Tórshavn, Fuglafjørður, Klaksvík, Vágur, Tvøroyri, and Vestmanna. It is the port of the second largest city in the country after Tórshavn. Be cautious when disembarking on the wooden pontoon, as it is very slippery. From May 1, 2024, the visitor's pontoon will have a fee (200 DKK/day from 1 to 10 days, and from the 11th day onwards, 500 DKK/day, water and electricity included). For more details, refer to the photo titled 'Rule for guest boat in the bay'

The approach down to Klaksvik takes you through the fishing harbor and industry on both sides of the fjord.
Good depth at the alongside quay, approximately 3.5 meters.
The harbor master is available by phone and is very helpful.
Electrical posts with special cards and water posts well-placed along the entire guest quay. Right up from the guest quay, there is a large grocery store with a good selection. The liquor store is about 1 km away. Small and pleasant town with restaurants and cafes.
Diesel refueling is possible. Refueling with a large white tank requires an Effo diesel card, the practical arrangements are handled by calling Effo directly.
There is a smaller refueling station right beside, but it looks very shallow.

The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 1 hour and 8 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 April 09:18 AM). 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.

Klaksvík Harbour is surrounded by high hills or mountains. When strong winds come from the mountainous side there is a risk of turbulent or katabatic winds (also called "fall winds"), which may be rather unpleasant. In such conditions, you should not rely on the wind protection score for the coming night. Click to edit.
