Kristiansand : Profile

Location

This popular boating centre is on Norway's southern coast and is not to be confused with the town of Kristiansund on the west coast north of Alesund.

This is one of Norway's main ports catering for small boats with good marina facilities.

Docking

This is a very large, sheltered harbour, but the visitors' berths are close to the town centre. Mooring is bows to jetty with stern buoys. It gets very full but Harbourmaster is most helpful.
