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!”

”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.”

”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.”
