Ålesund: a town built across three islands
All the boats on this page are in Ålesund. There is a long-keeled 29 ft sailing boat, which its owner warns steers poorly in reverse, day cruisers that come with their owners as skipper, and a workboat for up to eight, suited to fishing.
The town centre stands on three islands, Hessa, Aspøya and Nørve. After the fire of 1904 most of the centre was rebuilt in stone in the Art Nouveau style by 1907. The Norwegian Coastal Administration has its headquarters here. Visitors berth at the guest harbour in Brosundet, the sound through the town centre. For island hopping to Giske, Godøy and Runde, see our guide to Ålesund from the sea.
Keep clear of swimmers: the limit is 5 knots within 50 m of people bathing or of bathing buoys, and boats may not anchor at or drive through public bathing areas.
