About chartering in Stockholm

Chartering in Stockholm is like embarking on a maritime journey through a breathtaking maze of 50,000 islands, where calm Baltic waters meet vibrant coastal culture. The setting is defined by the city's unique blend of historic architecture and the sprawling Stockholm Archipelago, offering endless opportunities for island hopping and secluded swimming. You can depart from centrally located marinas like Strandvägens hamn in Östermalm or the larger Gåshaga Marina on Lidingö, both providing easy access to the open archipelago.

A day trip from Stockholm easily reaches the idyllic coastal community of Vaxholm, known as the traditional entry point to the archipelago, just a short sail away. For families seeking shorter excursions, the tiny island of Fjäderholmarna is only 20 minutes from the city center, perfect for a quick lunch or picnic. Those wanting longer adventures can navigate toward Sandhamn, the area's most popular sailing spot, or explore the outer islands like Grinda and Möja for a full day of exploration.
