Very sheltered and fine facility, electricity on the docks and nice hiking trails around the islands. Friendly host who came and collected payment at the sailing association's docks. Kiosk, shower, and toilet. Escaped here when the southwest wind caused a lot of swell in the guest harbor in Risør.

Good dock with water. Small hiking trail around the island. There were also some boats at anchor on the southwest side of the island. Friendly hosts at the kiosk, short dinghy trip to Lillesand. Floating dock in the innermost part of Lillesand for dinghies, keep to the right side of the guest harbor on the way in.

Easy approach, the guest pier has good depths all the way to the restaurant. Refueling diesel can be a bit tight if the service boat for the fish farm is docked. There are also guest piers directly to the right of the entrance, which are free for the first day.

Very nice docks, alongside. We only stayed one night, concerts are held right on the quay every Friday and Saturday throughout the summer. It didn't get quiet until around 2-3 AM. It costs 15 NOK to use the toilet, 15 NOK to access the washing machine room + additional payment for usage. The harbor fee is 200 NOK with electricity. Shops are right on the quay.

Many good places for mooring alongside in the strait on the west side of Lekerøya, with over 3 meters depth throughout the strait until you reach Pjolter Bay. Many bolts and rings along the cliffs. A short dinghy ride to Risør, with a floating dock at the innermost part of the Vågen in Risør which is fine for tying up the dinghies.

To get inside, you must go on the right side of the facility and round the 'lighthouse' that is there. On the outside, there are some waves from boats passing through the strait. There is some noise from the fishing boats docked in the harbor. It is recommended to take a trip with the express boat to Silda, where you can visit the restaurant Skjærbuda which serves good lunch and dinner. They also have their own boat to transport guests.

Fairly straightforward entrance, many spots to starboard with good depth where it is possible to moor alongside. Also around the large islet innermost. Nice to take a dinghy/SUP to the innermost part of the channel that continues inward. Good holding ground for anchoring. Be aware of the cable that lies from the innermost quay and inward. Many beautiful hiking trails around the island.

Alongside mooring at 2 floating docks, they also have some berths inside the dock reserved for guests. When I was there, workboats arrived claiming they had permanent spots at the dock, but there are no markings on the docks. Some noise from these boats and other aqua/ fish farming boats in the harbor. Short walk to shops. Fuel station to the left within the breakwater when you enter. There is a harbor master during the season.

Very good harbor, well-maintained, water and electricity on the docks. Shopping center on the other side of the street. Very good service building. Bought shrimp on the dock by the lifeboat. Delicacy.

Simple approach, anchored a bit in front of a small hill on land due to weather forecast predicting some south-easterly wind at night. Good holding ground. There is also a buoy near the beach, but it is too close to shore with south-easterly winds. We took a walk on Hestmannen, which took about 3.5 hours. There's a marked trail about 10 minutes from the beach on the south side of the bay. It leads to the side where the cable car comes down. That's where the trail starts; we returned down a trail that came right down towards the boat.

Arrived at Inverness marina at 04:30 at night, experienced a counter-current under the bridge of about 3.5 knots, and it increased. We docked at the outermost part of pier B. Good floating docks. Spoke with the harbor master the next day, borrowed the shower and toilet, paid 20 pounds, and refueled diesel. Called up Clachnaharry Sealock for the time to enter the lock.

Easy approach Pier 4 has guest berths; go to the office located on the second floor of the service building. Good floating docks. We stayed here for one night, the first night is free but you have to pay for electricity. 5 pounds. Pleasant areas for a walk up and down to Clacnaharry Sealock. About 25 minutes walk to Inverness city center. Several shopping centers about 5 minutes away. Use the bathroom key to lock yourself in and out of the gates in the evening.

Easy entry both to the guest dock on the south side and the north side of the quay. The north side is easier to dock at with northerly winds. At the harbor office (red building on the quay marked Albert building), you get the key to the shower and toilet, register and pay here. Showers and washing machines are at the Lerwick Rowing Club about 4-5 minutes walk south from the guest harbor. REMEMBER £1 coin to shower for 10 minutes. Washing machine £5 for wash and £4 for dryer.
