Short answer

Fanølinjen sails between Esbjerg in Jutland and Nordby on Fanø, and the crossing takes about 12 minutes. In 2026 a Flex car ticket costs 269 kr. and a Standard car ticket 325 kr., and both cover up to 9 people. All prices are return tickets. Children aged 0 to 17 travel free on foot, a pensioner on foot pays 25 kr. return, and bicycles come along free.
