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.

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 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!

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

Easy approach and good for mooring. The floating dock by the tavern can be a bit shallow for large sailboats, but they can easily moor to the quay further in. Remember the tidal difference when you moor!

The tavern is open 5 days a week and serves good food, and a small cafe that makes pizza is open 4 days a week. The store is about a 15-minute walk from the harbor.
Several nice hiking trails in the area, can recommend Høgkletten!

The downside is that there is no water in the hoses on the quay, so you can't fill up water tanks.

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?

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 access, be aware of a couple of shallow areas at the narrowest point on the way in, if you have a deep draft.

Shop on the quay with everything you need and a bit more. Gas bottles in almost all sizes are available for purchase.

The harbour facility has potential. As of 10.07.26, it is not finished, and not all boats have access to electricity and water.
The sanitary facilities are partially okay. The toilet is functional. Coin-operated machines for the shower and washer/dryer do not work, and I found no other way to turn on the water in the shower.
It will surely be nice when it's finished someday..

Easy entry and good docks. But if you have a larger boat, you'll need to berth on the outside, where there is space for 3 large boats.
Access to electricity and water, but the water was very brown when we were there, so we chose not to fill our tank with it.

A shop on the pier with a very varied selection. The prices are somewhat high (and the items are unpriced) as they often are in such shops, but you can get what you need.

The sanitary facilities look old but well-maintained. Somewhat outdated with coin-operated showers and laundry/dry.

Green area by the harbor where children can play.

Otherwise, the area seems to be a popular spot for German fishing tourists, and there are usually many of them.

Easy entrance, follow the markers.
A couple of shallows in the harbour basin according to the chart.

The guest dock is the first one you come to. Booms on the innermost section, not much space between these, but larger boats can dock alongside on the outer section.
100 NOK + 50 NOK for electricity per night.
Somewhat exposed to north wind at least, but lies safely even if it blows.

Nice area, shop nearby. Playground and sandy beach a short walk from the harbour, as well as school/kindergarten with playgrounds within walking distance.
The shop has everything you need and more, in addition to an open café at the back.

Some construction work is ongoing near the harbour, it will become a hotel eventually.

Easy approach, good depth at the guest pier. Noticeable when the express boat arrives and departs but it doesn't unsettle the moorings.

24-hour store and sanitation facilities right by the quay.

Great area, calm, playgrounds for children, ball cage, beach etc.

Recommended!

The guest harbor is the outermost floating pier. This is very exposed when the express boat arrives, and it is very uncomfortable to stay there.

There are a few guest spots further in, but we ran aground before we got there, so it is probably best suitable for motorboats.

The area is great, with playgrounds, shops, and swimming places.

Easy to enter the harbor, but I feel the harbor has deteriorated in recent years.
No water at the outer end of the dock, power cables stick up along the edges, several tripping hazards on the floating dock in the form of bolts and screws that protrude.

The sanitary facilities are worn out and dirty. I no longer feel the quality of the facility matches the price.

Otherwise, the area is okay, you can buy food and drink, clothes, and fishing gear. If you need specialty shops, you have to go to Deknepollen on the other side of the bridge.
