Svelvik - Gjestebrygge

Svelvik Gjestebrygge is a municipal guest berth located in the middle of Svelviksundet, extending from the old steamship quay in Svelvik town centre. The berth is part of Drammen municipality's network of guest berths and is the only municipal guest berth in the municipality suited for sailing boats.

The area is known for its strong current - Norway's second-strongest saltwater current - so it's important to check the tide tables before mooring, especially for smaller sailing boats. Depth varies along the berth: about 1.7 m at the north end and 2.3 m along the rest of the guest berth. The berths are open from 1 April to 31 October, with a maximum stay of 14 days.

There are no sanitary facilities or shore power at the municipal guest berths in Svelvik. However, Restaurant Dreggen is located right on the quay, and a Kiwi grocery store is in the large building with a red tile roof right next door.

Just a short walk north at the ferry terminal you'll find a bus stop with regular departures, as well as a shop selling local fruit brandy in the town centre. Tie up at the historic steamship quay and experience Svelvik's charm from the water.
