  • Sailing in Uppland (Roslagen & Öregrund Archipelago)
    Uppland offers a quintessential Scandinavian archipelago cruise: thousands of skerries, clear channels, pine-fringed coves and tidy guest harbours within easy reach of Stockholm Arlanda. The sailing is varied. You can thread sheltered inner routes from Norrtälje and Furusund, step out to the outer skerries around Arholma and Fejan, or push north towards the historic harbour of Öregrund via the Gräsö fairways. Conditions in summer are forgiving for competent crews, yet the navigation is rewarding, demanding close attention to charts and leading lines. This guide lays out when to go, how the winds typically behave, and where to moor. It also proposes realistic itineraries that link welcoming harbours with superb natural anchorages. If you are chartering, you will find clear guidance on bases, boat availability and what certification charter companies expect. The aim is to help you plan with confidence and sail with intent.

  • Sailing in Sweden
    Sweden offers one of Europe’s most rewarding cruising grounds, with thousands of sheltered islands, clean waters and well-run guest harbours. The west coast granite of Bohuslän feels wild and Atlantic-facing; the Stockholm archipelago is a labyrinth of pine‑clad skerries; the south coast and Blekinge bring lighter seas and historic towns; while the High Coast to the north delivers dramatic UNESCO‑listed scenery. Navigation is largely line‑of‑sight through well‑marked channels, tides are negligible, and summer days are long. This guide outlines the main sailing areas, seasonal winds and weather, how to get there, where to berth, and what to expect when chartering, so you can plan with confidence.

  • Sailing the Stockholm Archipelago
    The Stockholm Archipelago strings together more than 30,000 islands, skerries and inlets from the edge of downtown Stockholm to the Baltic horizon. Protected waters, negligible tides and well-marked fairways create an approachable cruising ground for competent skippers, while the granite-fringed anchorages and pine forests deliver a Scandinavian wilderness within easy reach of an international capital. Expect civilised guest harbours with hot showers and saunas one night, then a quiet stern-to berth against a warm rock slab the next. This guide sets out when to go, how the winds behave, where to berth, and what to know before you charter, with two practical itineraries to get you under way.
