Sail around Stockholm’s spectacular archipelago by yacht on this full-day sailing adventure! As you cruise, try sailing the yacht yourself under the watchful eye of the skipper, and become one of the crew by helping to handle the vessel. Stop at a picture-postcard island to swim or explore, and enjoy a delicious lunch on board during your voyage. With expert guidance from the start and all the equipment you need supplied, you don't need any prior sailing experience to take the helm or assist the crew: just lots of enthusiasm!
Tour departs at 9:30am
You will meet your Captain at the harbour in the pretty coastal town of Vaxholm, on the edge of the Stockholm archipelago. Once onboard you will receive a safety briefing and then set off on your adventure! You will sail through narrow straits, lined with beautiful Scandinavian architecture; an eclectic mix of 19th century homes and modern luxury villas, before crossing larger bays to reach more wild and uninhabited islands. As you cruise through the maze of islands and skerries, you’ll soon understand how legends have emerged about the islands’ fairies and elves, and why parts of the archipelago are nominated for UNESCO World Heritage and National Park status. The wildlife, rugged scenery and serenity of the archipelago will blow you away! Some of the islands will be big enough to house a village, some just a single homestead and others so small they have room for only one tree on them! There will be towering cliffs, narrow straits, plenty of forest and wildlife in abundance! For lunch you’ll pick the sunniest most picturesque island to stop and whilst taking a break you can explore ashore, search for wildlife, go for a swim and enjoy a delicious freshly prepared meal.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
