The Koster ferry
Strömstad
You don’t need your own boat to explore the Koster Islands. Passenger ferries run from Strömstad all year round, and the scenic crossing is a lovely way to start your visit.
The ferries depart from Norra hamnen (the North Harbour), next to the main square in central Strömstad. The departure address is Ångbåtskajen, Strömstad, where you’ll also find a waiting room and public toilets.
The journey takes around 45 minutes, depending on where you get off. Ferries call at several stops on both Sydkoster (South Koster) and Nordkoster (North Koster), so check which stop is closest to your destination before you travel.
For timetables and practical information, visit Kosterlinjen’s website or plan your journey using the Västtrafik travel planner.
