Discover the beautiful Stockholm Archipelago on this relaxing 8-hour sailing excursion from Vaxholm! Welcoming adventurers ages 12 and up.

Only a 40-minute drive from Stockholm, the charming town of Vaxholm is located on the eastern shore of Vaxholm Island, part of the renowned Stockholm Archipelago. The picturesque island grouping, which extends into the Baltic Sea, is composed of over 30,000 islands and islets. Sailing in the Stockholm Archipelago is an excellent way to explore this incredible marine landscape! With a seasoned Captain at the helm, you can relax, unwind, and take in the stunning panorama onboard.

Your adventure sailing in the Stockholm Archipelago begins at the meeting point in Vaxholm, where you and your group (a maximum of 10 passengers) will be greeted by your knowledgeable Captain. After boarding the boat, you'll receive a safety and itinerary briefing before setting off into the scenic archipelago. Sailing through the narrow straights, you'll observe the distinctive Scandinavian architecture of the summer cottages and homes on the islands, before crossing into the larger bays towards the more remote islands of the Stockholm Archipelago.

Throughout the day, don't forget to keep a lookout for local wildlife, which includes sea eagles, white-tailed eagles, Arctic terns, loons, Canadian geese, ospreys, etc., and if luck is on your side, you may be graced with a grey seal spotting! Midway through your tour, sailing in the Stockholm Archipelago, you'll disembark at a secluded island for a delicious, freshly prepared picnic lunch. In addition, you'll have plenty of time for swimming, exploration, and lounging before returning to the sailboat. If you wish, your Captain is happy to show you how to steer the sailboat under careful supervision. After an amazing day spent sailing in the Stockholm Archipelago, you'll return to the original departure point in Vaxholm with lifelong memories!
