Approach
It is possible to approach the islands from different directions. If you are coming from the north through the inner route via Hustadvika, you turn westwards at Bud and pass through Bjørnøysundet (between Nordre Bjørnsund and Bjørnøya). Watch out for the unmarked Digergallet, which you will pass portside before you go through Bjørnøysundet. If you are coming from the north through the outer route past Hustadvika, stay well within Galdeskjæra and head towards Bjørnsund Lighthouse. If the sea is not rough, go between the small island Bollen and the lighthouse island (Måøya), before navigating around either the east or west side of Søndre Bjørnsund. If the sea is rough, it may be safer to head towards Bud and enter Bjørnsund through Bjørnøysundet. If you are coming from the south through the route from Ålesund, either continue towards outer Hustadvika and turn in between Bollen and the lighthouse island (Måøya), or go south of Søre Orholmskjæret and navigate cautiously past the markers. Common to all approaches is treacherous waters, and you need to closely follow the chart/GPS.

See the pictures, which indicate a typical place where many sailboats run aground. In the inner harbor, it feels natural to follow the red dotted line, but several sailboats get stuck here every summer. Instead, follow the blue dotted line towards the guest piers.

There is also an overhead cable with a clearance of 22 meters on your way into the harbor.
