Welcome to Flekkefjord Gjestehavn Marina
Nestled on the southern coast of Norway, Flekkefjord Gjestehavn Marina is a charming and well-equipped guest harbor that offers a blend of history, natural beauty, and modern amenities. Dating back to the early 20th century, this marina was originally developed to support the town's timber-export trade. Today, it boasts around 40 berths and a range of services that make it an ideal destination for boating enthusiasts.
Exploring the Area
The marina's location provides excellent opportunities for water-based activities such as kayaking, paddle-boarding, and recreational sailing. The sheltered harbor makes it a popular launch point for day trips to the scenic islands of Høvåg and the coastal trail that connects to the famous 'Coastal Path' (Kyststien).

Adventure & Services
In addition to the marina office, the nearby 'Flekkefjord Marina Service' provides boat rental, repair, and guided fishing tours. 'Kystens Kafé' on the harbor front offers fresh-catch dishes and serves as a gathering spot for both locals and tourists. The best season to visit is the late-spring to early-autumn window (late May through September), when daylight exceeds 16 hours, sea temperatures rise above 12°C, and the region’s maritime festivals and local seafood events are in full swing.
Practical Information
The closest airport is Kristiansand Kjevik Airport, about 100 km (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes by car via the E39 and Rv 45), making the marina easily reachable for domestic and international visitors. The drive from the airport to the harbor passes through scenic fjord scenery and typically takes 1½ hours in summer traffic.
