Sail and overnight anchorage

Do you dream of cruising between the skerries and islets of the archipelago, and dropping anchor for the night in a secluded creek? Our proficient skippers welcome you aboard their yachts to guide you safely through the labyrinth of islands to discover the gems of the Stockholm archipelago!

Bring along family and friends, let the wind propel you between hundreds of islands, and get lulled to sleep after a full day of nature and all of its impressions.

On the first morning we meet in the harbour at 9 am where your skipper welcomes you aboard to get acquainted with each other and the boat.  Once everyone is familiar with the safety procedures onboard, we are off to set sail!

Together with your skipper, we will plan your tour together onboard – a peaceful tour in sheltered waters or a more adventurous sail to test your limits? Whatever you decide, your skipper will make sure that you are safe and that you are provided with all the information and knowledge with regard to the art of sailing. Most likely, we will stop for lunch in a sheltered bay, and if you wish you can go for a swim in the clear fresh waters.

After lunch, we continue sailing towards our planned anchorage for the night – a sheltered natural harbour. Our skippers always adapt the choice of anchorage to the weather and to the requests of our guests. 

Weather permitting, we can have the option of having a barbecue on a cliff, enjoying our meal and the view of the archipelago over an open fire. Otherwise we can spend a cosy evening in the boat sharing sailing stories by the glow of the kerosene lamp before we fall asleep after a full day of sailing.

The next day we start at 8 am – or earlier if you wish – to get another full day of sailing as we make our way back towards Dalarö. We can set sail early and drop the anchor for lunch, or we can spend the morning walking and swimming before heading straight back. It’s up to you! Whatever you choose, we promise to bring you back to the jetty in Dalarö on time.

Not quite ready to go back? If you wish, you can extend your tour by just adding another day, and another and another… The more days you book, the further out we will bring you into the fascinating world of the archipelago, and the more vivid your experience will be!

About our boats and skippers

When you go sailing with Vind o Vatten you meet skippers who are passionate about what they do, who own the boats they sail and who nourish a close relationship with the Stockholm archipelago. They are well educated and experienced, each one having a Ship’s Officer Class VIII certificate with decades of experience sailing in the archipelago, sail racing and offshore sailing.

You will be sailing a well-equipped and comfortable size boat of 35-36 feet. These boats are fast and fun to sail, without being too lively or difficult to handle. Since we sail our own boats, we know them inside and out and are fully aware of the possibilities and limitations of each vessel. We provide wind- and waterproof clothing on all tours as well as comfortable life vests for each guest.

Accommodation and food

On our overnight sailing tours with onboard accommodation, we can host up to four or five participants depending on the boat. Food is planned in consultation with the skipper, purchased in advance and billed at cost price. You bring your own sheets and towels, or rent them from your skipper, while blankets and pillows are provided on board.

Where to find us

Most of our tours start from Dalarö in the southern part of the Stockholm archipelago. You can get there easily by car or by commuter train and bus from the Stockholm city centre. On occasion, we start from Svinninge in the central part of the archipelago which is also easy to get to by public transport or car.
