Highlights
  • Stockholm Archipelago - We’ll pick you up from central Stockholm. As we leave Stockholm behind us we pass sights such as The Old Town, Vasa museum and the amusement park, Gröna Lund. Passing the island of Fjäderholmarna we pick up speed and hit 42 knots (78 km/h) on our way to Vaxholm (the capital of the archipelago).

We travel through magnificent landscapes made up of lush and rocky islands. Passing islands both inhabited and uninhabited. You will experience historic sites and summer houses dating back from the 17th century. We’ll travel on the water ways of locals, so don’t forget to waive when passing fellow sailors. Before heading back to Stockholm we pass by Vaxholm, also called the Capital of the Archipelago, where many sailors come to proviant before heading out to sea.

This is a truly genuine tour where one experiences the archipelago where locals live and vacation. Summer houses here are passed down from generations to generations and many never come out on the open market.

Highlight of our trip to Stockholm - Such a fun trip! We loved getting to see not only the city by water, but the surrounding islands as well. Our guide, Adam, was friendly and knowledgeable. In our opinion, this was a much better water tour than those larger boats you see all over the place. We’d would highly recommend. Ps my only caveat would be that it might be a little too bumpy for an elderly person or someone with a really bad back

Highly recommend - PJ was excellent! He was very friendly, knowledgeable on Stockholm and the archipelagos. The boat ride was fun, full of speed and exciting. It was a small group so it was very nice not to be crowded. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for an archipelago tour.

A must do when in Stockholm - We did this tour yesterday with our daughter and her partner. Our guide was Adam and he was fantastic. Informative and humourus with lots of information delivered in a fun and relaxed way. We saw a lot of the archipelago which I think is a must do when in Stockholm as it gives you a better perspective on the city. Would give this tour 6 stars if I could. Loved it.

Top Notch Ride - We had a great time on this boat ride! Adam was an excellent driver and tour guide. We went up to 55 miles per hour., and the scenery was beautiful. We had beautiful warm weather, but the wind is still a little chilly. He provides windbreakers for that. The boat is like new and in excellent condition.

Wow!!! - This excursion was a BLAST!! We loved it! So much fun. Went with my husband and there were a total of 12 of us on the boat (the max.) Everyone was fun and since Adam (our fabulous and friend,y guide) asked everyone where they were from, we all got to know a little about each other. Started out by going thru the town waterways, and Adam did some great tour narration. Then, once we were out of the restricted speed zone, we flew! It was exhilarating, and Adam did some fun moves. Definitely try to stand up a little on your feet, and bend your knees to go with the movement of the boat and waves. We were offered coveralls, hats and goggles, but it was fairly warm so most of us just took the windbreaker. Others, who had a jacket or raincoat, just wore those. Everyone either had glasses or sunglasses, so didn’t need the goggles. Only got slightly splashed once, and it wasn’t cold at all. There are so many beautiful islands and homes out in the archipelago, and it was fun to see those and the island of Vaxhulm. We took a beautiful ride back thru a small canal. Highly recommend this trip. Absolutely a highlight of our trip to Sweden!
