Product description

Your sailingtour starts and ends in Dalaroe, which is a nice little village in the archipelago. Many buildings here are typical old 19th century summer houses, and the place is absolutely worth seeing after you finished the sailing tour!

We start with safety instructions and introduction to the boat. Wihtin an hour, we are under sail. The most beautiful parts of Stockholm Archipelago are just around the corner. During the day we will sail through changing sceneries with thousands of skerries and islands, most of them inhabited only by nature life. The islands have shifting personalities, some of them are covered with wood or bushes, but the closer we come to the open sea, the more clean and rough the skerries are, as they are washed by wind and waves.

Sailing is the most wonderful way to experience the archipelago. Without a sound, the yacht moves smoothly through the water, leaving no trace. You can go in any direction where there is wind and water. The weather will determine what kind of experience you will get – sunny and soft or wild and windy. After a few hours of sailing, we drop the anchor sheltered by one of the islands, to let you have a walk, a dinghy tour, or go for a swim. Here, in the stillness, we will enjoy a fresh lunch. During the day you will have plenty of options to learn more about sailing as well as about the archipelago. You are welcome to take part as much as you like in the sailing action, and you will have a professional guidance!

Options

Final destination can be Utoe instead of Dalaroe, in this case you can have dinner and stay overnight at the Utoe Inn and Restaurant. You get back by ferry and bus or cab to Stockholm city the next day. Utoe is an island known for it´s beauty and is in direct contact with the open sea.

Another option is staying overnight in Dalaroe before or after sailing. We can help with bookings. For other options in Dalaroe check here.

Level of difficulty

The boat, a Linjett 35, is very easy to handle. If you are a skilled sailor, you will love to handle the boat. If you have less experience or none, you will get the chance to feel what real sailing is about. There is plenty of space in the cockpit for everybody. The skipper, Birgitta, is a very skilled sailor, who has been teaching sailing to adults for more than 20 years. She has a life-long knowledge of the archipelago and a big love for sharing sailing with her guests.

This tour is perfect for the family who wants to make an exciting experience together into the best part of archipelago nature. Suitable also for small groups, up to six persons. Everybody, irrespective of age, strenght and experience can take part, but children younger than 5 years old is not advisable to bring.

The boat has a very high standard,  and is wellknown for it´s supreme sailing and construction qualities.
