Very nice and sheltered harbor. Shop nearby and several great mountain hikes. Good depth in pretty much the entire harbor.
The restaurant nearby was out of food, so a somewhat limited selection there, but the food was okay.

Easy access, but it can be somewhat shallow for the largest sailboats. No floating dock for guests.

Easy to enter, no detour.
Some shallow areas in the harbor, but no problem for us with 1.7m depth; I think 2m will be fine as well.
The guest dock is unmarked, so we found an available spot and that seemed fine.
Sent an SMS to the harbor master Bjørn both before and after mooring but never got any response.

Quite an okay area, nice view of the sea.
The ferry is right nearby but has so few departures each day that it's not a problem.

Didn't get access to the service building, as it was locked and the harbor master did not respond.
If one cannot respond to SMS, maybe the code should be a text on the receipt in Vipps?

The approach is good, follow the markings. Not all poles are shown on the chart, but it's easy to follow. Swell from the sea does not come into the reefs, so it's safe to sneak through.
The pier was okay, moor alongside with good depth, but power is only available on land, so you need a very long extension cord.
Friendly lady working at the pub.

The floating dock has been extended, quite alright for mooring a sailboat. A bit tricky to access the service building, and only 1 shower, but quality is okay. There is a restaurant nearby and about 1 km to the nearest shop. There is a handicraft shop nearby, and an older lady there gave us a lot of information about the island. It's nice to cycle around the island if you have a bike.

The ferry has its own entrance and does not affect the small boat harbour.

Absolutely fine to stay there for a night. Used it as a base for a trip to Torghatten. Simple floating dock, or you can anchor a bit further out. Access to electricity and water. Somewhat expensive dock fee considering no facilities.
Recommend the trip to Torghatten, very nice, and an easy trip for most.

Easy entrance, follow the markings. The floating dock has been extended, so it does not look exactly like in the picture. Good depth at the outermost docks, very shallow at the innermost. You will need a long power cable if you stay at the outermost dock.
Cozy restaurant with very good fish & chips!
The service building is clean and tidy, but with somewhat limited capacity. Washing machine, shower, and toilet in the same room.

Possibility to take an express boat to Brønnøysund for shopping. Remember to buy a ticket in advance or notify the need for docking.

Easy approach. Full guest pier, but available private spots were marked so we were able to stay there anyway. No access to water at the outer pier.
Good depth for sailboats in almost the entire harbor.
Service building was ok, several showers and toilets.
You can walk about 1 km towards the ferry dock and find a beach.
Short distance to the store.

Quiet and sheltered harbor, but there were some waves caused by local young people and adults with small and fast boats.

Nice dock, but too shallow for sailboats. There are 2 buoys belonging to Ørsta Sailing Association that can well be used. Beautiful area, well worth a trip ashore.

Easy entry and good docks. Good depth throughout the harbor. There were some waves when the fast ferry came all the way into the harbor to turn around.
A bit difficult to figure out which are guest docks and which are not. It doesn't help much that signs are put up on land. We didn't bother to use the service building, as you need to swipe a card just to get into the individual rooms, even after paying the harbor fee.

Couldn't find any trash container either, had to push the trash bags into regular street trash cans.

Central area, you can find all the shops you need, as well as a handful of outdoor places right by the quay. We were there Friday to Sunday, and there was some noise. If you are sensitive to sound, I would rather go to the other guest harbor.

Easy entrance, shallows are well marked.

The guest pier is marked, it does not have side runners. Good depth.
Note: the pier is not particularly pet-friendly or bare-foot friendly, the netting surface meant we had to carry our dog ashore.

The store is 5 minutes away, somewhat picked over on a Sunday, but seems to have a good selection normally.

Beautiful beach nearby!
