Information

Fishing harbour. 30 berths. Outer harbour gets rough during onshore winds. Local boats have right of priority in inner harbour. The harbour gate between the inner and outer harbours is closed during strong onshore winds.

May be entered day and night, allowances being made for wind, current and visibility. Should not be entered during onshore winds. Compass variation occurs, and strong currents coupled with bad visibility can be dangerous.

Svaneke Lighthouse is located on Sandkås Odde and will guide boats in during approach. Steer to the north in the white angle of the harbour light until the harbour's leading lights guide the boat in at 297 degrees.

BE CAREFUL: If approach is made from due east of the leading lights, boats are led through the skerries at Mågeflak SE of the harbour. Approach is prohibited if
a black ball is displayed or 3 vertical red lights are shining on the mast north of the harbour. The harbour gate to the inner harbour is closed if a fixed white light is shining under the lower light of the leading lights. The current in the approach channel is rarely important.

 I my opinion this is the nicest harbour in Bornholm. Town is so small and therefore intimate. 

The Port of Gudhjem consists of 2 harbours: Nörresand harbour (North) with a water depth of 3.6 metres and Gudhjem Harbour (South). Applicable to both harbours: May be entered day and night, allowances being made for wind, current and visibility.
Hammerodde, Christiansø and Svaneke lighthouses will guide boats in during approach. In SW-ly winds, a hard current can set toward Sandhammaren on the SE point of Scania (southern Sweden).
In strong NW wind, a strong current sets to the southward at Hammeren. Gudhjem Harbour (S): The Harbour's light beacons line up to guide boats in at 202 degrees and are turned off whenever the harbour is unnavigable.

In daylight this is shown by a red ball on the flagpole on the north breakwater.

This harbour is also very nice. This town is bigger than Svaneke and has more tourists. If you enjoy a busier city, then this is the harbour to choose. 

The harbour can be entered during all wind conditions. The harbour has WC's, telephone, shower facilities, as well as a kiosk for shopping.

In summer months, private boat trips depart from Hammer Harbour on daily sightseeing tours along the coast. A leading light provides a bearing in bad visibility. Electricity and water on the quays for use by pleasure craft.

Strong onshore winds cause choppy and unpleasant seas. Pound nets and other fishing equipment north of the harbour. Speed limit: 5 knots. Pleasure craft may only use the dredged channel when entering the harbour. Ferry traffic always has right of priority. Visiting boats are kindly requested to dock at Nørrekås Lystbådhavn (Marina) if space is available.

This is the major city in Bornholm. It's a good place to go shopping but the harbour is meant for commercial shipping and therefore it's not the nicest harbour for yachts.
