Navigation
The approach to the fired harbour is possible day and night in the leading light with 254° (2 F.R.). It is done in the dredging channel with a target depth of 2.5m by keeping the black windmill (without wings) on bearing with the northern breakwater.
After passing the harbour entrance, immediately turn to starboard behind the pier head to avoid entering the shallow water area of the outer harbour. Strong cross currents can occur in front of the harbour.
If there is a strong onshore wind and a corresponding swell, it is not possible to approach the harbour.
Berths
There are hardly any guest places in the harbour and you have to arrange with the fishermen or the harbour master. The water depth in the fishing basin is 2.5 - 3m. The boat harbour is not suitable for recreational boats.
Surroundings
Some supplies can be found in the small village. At the harbour itself there are quite simple sanitary facilities and a larger slipway.
NV Land Guide
It's hard to believe, but it's true: 118 sailing ships were at home in the small port of Brantevik at the beginning of this century. It is said that they were all in the harbour at the same time. Thus the fishing village had the largest number of sailing ships in Sweden at that time. In almost every house lived a skipper, ship owner or boat builder. The street names reveal that everything here revolved around seafaring.
The exotic souvenirs brought back by sailors from all over the world and the ship models made on board during free hours can be seen in "Hopet's pub" at the harbour. Hopet was the name of the ship's insurance.
