Vikerhavn gjesthavn

Vikerhavn is an old fishing harbour at the southwestern tip of the island Asmaløy in Hvaler municipality, by the approach to Fredrikstad in the outer Oslofjord. The harbour is protected by a solid breakwater, and inside it you'll find both a guest harbour and space for leisure boats, while the innermost part has a public quay for embarking and disembarking.

The guest berths lie along the southwestern breakwater, where the berths are available to visiting boats year-round and space is booked via Havneweb. You typically moor with an anchor astern and lines to rings on the breakwater, which gives good holding, though the harbour can still see some gusty wind despite the shelter.

The harbour has a restaurant, and there is a playground for children. Vikerhavn, however, lacks proper guest-harbour infrastructure such as shore power or fresh water at the berths, and there is no shop right at the harbour.

A swimming spot lies right next to the harbour, and the broad coastal path passing Vikerhavn is well suited for walking or jogging along the shore. Skjærhalden, the administrative centre of Hvaler municipality, lies a few kilometres to the east, while the uninhabited island of Akerøya with its old fort lies a few kilometres to the west. Tie up along the breakwater and enjoy the calm atmosphere of this old fishing harbour.
