Boat Charter – rent a sailboat

Your own week in the Stockholm archipelago on our Nordisk Familjebåt. We get you ready with an introduction day on board, ready-made route suggestions and charts.

New for 2027

Sail on your own – for a whole week

Pick up the boat in Viggbyholm on Tuesday morning and bring it back on Sunday afternoon. Five nights in the archipelago, where you decide whether the day takes you to Grinda, Möja or an unknown island further out. You don't need to be an experienced sailor – if you have taken a basic course, we'll do the rest together with you.
