Brottøya has a speedboat connection to Stokmarknes and Kaljord. The island is also stopover for the car ferry between Kaljord and Hanøy.
During the planning of Lofoten's mainland connection (Lofast) there was an option to add the road over Brottøya to Helgenes and Lonkan and further toward Hennes, Blokken and Sigerfjorden. The alternative, however, was rejected, and Lofast was instead built against Gullesfjorden and by bridge over Raftsundet.
