Sailing Stockholm Archipelago
Sailing Stockholm Archipelago, half or full day
Sailing is a great way of seeing beautiful places where you can’t come otherwise, and the archipelago happens to be the perfect environment to do so! Learn how to sail from your experienced skipper, navigate through Stockholm archipelago’s many islets, see white tailed eagles soar through the sky, enjoy boosting forward by nothing but wind power and experience life on a sailing vessel. Allow yourself to relax during a well appreciated lunch break (whole day only) in a sheltered bay, take a swim or laze away in the sun.

Planning your Archipelago Cruise
The Stockholm archipelago consists of over 30,000 islands, islets, and skerries. Multi-day experiences in the archipelago allow for overnight anchorage and exploration of various islands. The Right of Public Access (Allemansrätten) in Sweden allows people to anchor almost anywhere and go ashore on islands under certain conditions. Many areas in the Stockholm archipelago are truly hidden gems and home to dense forests and stunning natural beauty.
