From mid-May to mid-September, the vintage vessel
Helge
sails three or four times daily
on a schedule that makes five stops in the area, at Svendborg Sund camping ground on the
northern tip of Tåsinge, then at Christiansminde, a popular beach area east of Svendborg,
before continuing to Troense and Valdemars Slot on Tåsinge. It turns around at Valdemars
Slot to retrace its steps back to Svendborg harbour.
The boat leaves Svendborg harbour at 10am, 12.30pm and 2.30pm from mid-May to
mid-September (with an additional sailing at 4.30pm in July); the total sailing time to the
final stop is 55 minutes. You can use it as a long sightseeing tour (Dkr60 one way), or a
short-hop transport option (riding two stops for Dkr30).
