The dock is blocked by commercial boats such as day excursion boats or work ships. There is hardly any space left for guest boats, especially not for larger sailboats. You can save the nautical miles and perhaps prefer to make a trip from Halsa.

Had to moor at the end of the T-pier because unfortunately, a third of the guest pier was converted into a fuel station, and it was then fully occupied with 2 medium-sized sailboats. Beautiful area, little swell, and we had a calm day. In that case, the T-pier was sufficient for our heavy 30-ton yacht.

Small floating dock with sufficient depth even for larger boats, albeit somewhat aged. Electricity from the restaurant is possible with a long cable. The long dock at Smedvika is still not available. Nice place with a great church and museum in the neighboring town. Not so crowded with tourists.

The outer long jetty no. 4 is particularly exposed to heavy swell on the outside due to ferries, large passenger ships, and motorboats. The inner side is predominantly rented to long-term berths. Some of the cleats are missing, and the path to the service building is long. It is better and more sheltered at the three inner jetties.

Solid floating pier with electricity. We did not find any water supply. Cleats are not available everywhere, so approach strategically when free. Be careful with the fenders, there are screws sticking out of the planks everywhere. Depth is not a problem even for large boats. Occasionally, airplanes take off, otherwise it's quiet. There is a new concrete pier further out, making the other long pontoon well protected against swell. Moor alongside, fishing boats are in the boxes on the other side. 150NOK without electricity, 200NOK with. Payment via VIPPS, which is difficult for non-Scandinavians.

Der Hafen wird von Akureyri aus verwaltet. Die Schwimmsteganlage ist laut Seekarte nur bis 2m Tiefgang möglich und auch die lokalen Versntwortlichen konnten uns da keine Auskunft geben. Deswegen lager wir am Pier mit LKW-Reifen, hier ist es mindestens 4m tief. Tidenhub ist 1,10m, Strom wäre möglich gewesen haben wir aber für eine Nacht darauf verzichtet. Tankstelle am Hauptpier vor Kopf. Huebsche ruhige Insel mit Vogelbeobachtungsmoeglichkeiten und Wanderungen.
