Trondheim: from the Nidelva out to the fjord
In Trondheim, the listed boats are right by the water in town. A small inflatable for three adults lies by Fjordgata in the city centre, near where the Nidelva meets the fjord, and its owner suggests it for exploring the shoreline. A fully equipped 30 ft sailing boat is berthed at Grilstad on the eastern shore.
The river has its own rule: Trondheim bans motorboats on all rivers and lakes in the municipality without a permit, but the ban does not apply to the Nidelva below Gamle bybro, the Old Town Bridge.
Out on the Trondheimsfjord, Vanvikan across the fjord is a quiet anchorage that is rarely crowded. Frosta, with the monastery ruins on Tautra, is about 25 nautical miles away. Fuel is sold at Brattøra. For more anchorages and the fjord's weather, see our guide to the Trondheimsfjord.
