Longside on the outside of the dock. Very deep and nice (min. 10 meters)

Beautiful place! Good depth at the outer end of the pier, around 7 meters. The pier lacks proper bollards and is somewhat exposed to southern and western winds. I stayed there during a strong southern gale. It was okay, but there was some swell, so it was not ideal. The westerly wind is probably worse.

Nice pier with many spots and good depth. Be aware of overhead wires when sailing into the harbor. There are many of them.

Nice to moor bow to the shore with the anchor out aft. My boat draws 1.8m. Some bolts on shore, otherwise many places to drive in rock pitons. Exposed to waves from passing traffic. Very nice area for a walk. Swimming beach and outhouse further into the bay.

Nordnesøy is a hidden gem in Helgeland! Secure mooring all the way inside the bay. Deep and nice waters. You can moor all the way out on the outer part of the floating dock. The dock is exposed to downdrafts from the mountain in strong southerly/westerly winds, but there are no significant waves. Service building with toilet, shower, and washing machine. Water and electricity on the dock. Fabulous view of the Helgeland mountains, Svartisen glacier, and Træna from the top of Nordfjellet. Also a nice 1.5 km hike to Silsanden on the other side of the island. White sandy beach where you can also see across to Træna.

Deep enough to dock alongside for sailboats, minimum depth is 1.8m. Lovely place. I anchored here right after the summer holidays, and it was completely deserted. Many places to drive in rock bolts. It can get a bit choppy from passing traffic. Right by a nice beach.

Nice pier with power. Not sure if the depths in the nautical chart are accurate, but it was a bit shallow in some places. We went out at 0.77m tide and had 3m at the shallowest point.

Would probably not recommend this pier for deep-draft sailboats. Mine drafts 1.8m, and at 0.6m low tide, I had 1m clearance at the shallowest point in the approach (i.e., depth about 2.8m). Sailboats can only dock on the west side of the pier, and at the very end. There, I also had 1m clearance at 0.6m low tide with a 1.8m draft. The east side is very shallow. Lots of long kelp in the approach. The pier seems worn out, without proper mooring facilities, but everything works if you want it to... otherwise a very nice and calm place. Friendly staff at the hotel, which has a small restaurant and pub. It is also free to stay here.

At 180cm tide, I had a minimum depth of 3.8m in the entrance and in the harbor. Decent dock with berths, but less suitable for larger boats because the outriggers are quite short. Mine is 32 feet, and it worked fine. Service building over by the RV parking. 30kr for a shower, 75kr for washing machine/dryer.

Cozy place. A bit shallow, but with a draft of 1.8m, I had adequate clearance both while entering and at the quay.

Easy approach. Slightly worn dock, but nice to moor to. Good depths along the entire dock. No electricity and water. Incredibly charming area. Highly recommended!

Nice place. Had a depth of 4.5 meters at the shallowest point in the entrance, with a 40cm tide. Good depths at the pier all the way to the breakwater, 8+ meters. It doesn't say anywhere that it is a guest pier, so a bit uncertain.

There can be strong downdrafts from the mountains, and some waves from ferry traffic
