Express boat from Sandnessjøen to Brønnøysund
The express boat between Sandnessjøen and Brønnøysund runs through the heart of the Helgeland coast — waters where the Seven Sisters range stands guard behind Sandnessjøen and Torghatten, the mountain with a hole through it, waits by Brønnøysund. Along the way you pass islands and skerries in one of Norway's most celebrated coastal landscapes, on a route locals ride daily.

Practical information
Torghatten from the sea: Watch for the pierced mountain as the boat nears Brønnøysund — the hole shows from the lane at the right angle.
A local boat, not cruise pace: This is Helgeland's daily service — efficient, punctual, with local life on board.
Continue along the Coastal Road: The route pairs well with the Fv17 Kystriksveien — boat one way, road and ferries the other.
