Skipanes is an outlying village from 1839 with 49 inhabitants located by a small tongue of land of the same name. According to legend, the chieftain Tróndur í Gøtu, mentioned in the Færeyingasaga, used Skipanes as a winter port.
The village has a small marina. Skipanes and Gøtueiði, which belong to Gøtu Municipality, today form a coherent village.
