Sail Stockholm 2 and 3 days

To sail Stockholm ‘s archipelago is truly amazing. During our two and three-day trips we have enough time to get to pristine areas where we can’t get on our one-day trips. Imagine: just you, your friends / family and an unlimited amount of islands to choose from to take your afternoon nap. Sail, swim, fish, eat and relax. Fall asleep to the gentle rocking of the boat. Or if you prefer, we can arrange for a hotel night in one of the charming archipelago hotels.

Fellow Sailors on TripAdvisor…

”The ONE thing we wanted to do during our trip to Sweden was to go sailing. Pieter was awesome! He communicated with us frequently before our trip and made sure we had a boat and captain for the day we needed. After a tour of the boat (she was a beaut!), the safety spiel, and a few instructions on sails, wenches, and ropes, we set sail. Scott was a gracious host. He provided sailing jackets and sunscreen. We helped with the sails and even got to steer the boat! The views were absolutely breathtaking!”

”Just WOW. What an experience. The Stockholm Archipelago is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited and the Green Trails 1 day sailing trip was the perfect way to see it. Personal, friendly, unique and stunning. This is an absolute must for anyone wanting to see the Archipelago.”

”Took a sailing trip with Pierre at Green Trails. Had a great time learning how to operate a sail boat and even spent time steering the ship. It was educational and fun, a great first introduction to sailing, something I’ve been wanting to try for a while. We spent a few hours out on the water, had lunch and fika in a beautiful bay that we had all to ourselves. Pristine! After a quick swim in the (cold!) water, we sailed back home. It was a perfect day. We had some sun, some wind, a bit of rain, everything a good sailing adventure should entail. When I come back to Stockholm, I will not hesitate to do some more activities with this company.”

”My wife and I recently experienced one of the most enjoyable and memorable excursions while on vacation. On a whim, we booked a sailing voyage into the archipelago. We received a call from Pieter, the founder of The Green Trails and he arranged to have the two of us spend the day on a 35 ft sailing vessel with just the captain. We piloted the vessel for hours, we learned about sailingand the local environment. Most importantly, we were introduced to an amazing female captain, Bridgette, who went out of her way to ensure that our experience was exceptional. We are so very grateful for this experience and would strongly encourage those interested to seek out The Green Trails and Bridgette. You will not be disappointed.”

Sail Stockholm: in depth info (no time? check itinerary)

This is an example trip. Your captain customizes the day according to the weather conditions.
As you arrive to the marina our sailing boat is awaiting us. We start off with a short introduction to the boat, sailing, and some safety rules. Little time is wasted, and shortly we're leaving the harbor by motor. Not long after and together we hoist the sails and the wind takes us to fairy tale islands. The captain even lets you or your children steer the boat under his supervision, they won't forget that any time soon! Tacking up against the winds we make our first stop at one of the islands, probably the famous Ornö. We anchor in a bay, sheltered from the wind, and enjoy some proper relaxation. You get to take a swim, enjoy the sun or explore the island. Reluctant to leave this haven of relaxation we set sail once more. But the reluctance is soon forgotten once we catch a smooth but sturdy wind from the back taking us right to our "night" island. In the evening we build a campfire and roast some marshmallows after a nice traditional dinner. Spend the night in the boat while your captain camps on the island! A magical and cozy night is guaranteed. Wake up the next day to the sound of birds and small waves breaking on the rocks. Time for breakfast! This day we explore even further into the archipelago, and against all expectations the islands get even more beautiful. The next morning you realize that the last day of the adventure has come. But this sailing trip in the Stockholm archipelago is guaranteed to stay with you forever.
