M/S Vesleø 2

Sparkling sea, rocky cliffs and sea air are good for the soul. The boat Vesleø II brings you safely between Strømstad and Skjærhalden in both summer and winter.

Six days a week in the summer season, you can enjoy just under an hour on the sea between Hvaler and Sweden. Many choose to use the chance to shop in Strømstad, while also making use of the tax-free ticket on board.

The boat trip itself goes between the islands in the picture-perfect archipelago between Hvaler and Strømstad, well protected from the weather and wind should it be a slightly rough day. On the crossing you can study hidden coves, beautiful rocky cliffs and maybe a seal will appear?

You can find timetables for the whole year here. Vesleø II takes you to Strømstad all year round, in winter with four departures on Friday and Saturday, in summer with six departures six days a week.

Vesleø II can also be rented for charter, think so idyllically with near and dear ones on a boat trip together around the Kosterøyene.

IMPORTANT – see the website for special rules when booking and tours.
