For visiting boats
Kristiansand gjestehavn lies right in the city centre by Fiskebrygga and the town beach, owned by Kristiansand kommune and run by Kristiansand gjestehavndrift AS. The harbour took its present form in 1988 and has about 150 guest berths – around 75 in the inner harbour inside the breakwater (2–3 m deep, max 45 ft) and 75 on the floating pontoons outside, behind a new wave breaker from 2023 (4–6 m deep, lazy lines on pontoon C, max 50 ft and 5 m beam). The service building has showers, toilets, washing machines and dryers, the kiosk sells propane, and a summer restaurant sits on the quay. Call or raise the harbour on VHF 73 in July before arrival for help with a berth.
