Itinerary
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 the onboard lunch, you'll stop sailing and you could potentially explore ashore, go for a swim and enjoy a delicious freshly prepared meal.
