2. Carry cash as backup – most accept cards, but some machines may have technical issues.
3. Check maximum length – some harbors have limited space for boats over 40 feet.
4. Respect quiet hours – most guest harbors enforce quiet time from 11 PM.
5. Use apps – Havneguiden.no and NorgesHavner provide updated info on availability.
