Not only because of the varied coastlines around Sweden, but also due to the large lakes which have excellent water for sailing by pleasure boat. The canal systems with its locks carry you into the lake system and across Sweden via the Göta Canal.

Through the array of islands in the archipelago and the narrow sounds of the inland lakes, winds are formed where you least expect them along with fluctuations you have seldom experienced before. In the early part of summer, when the water is still cold and the weather is fine, a strong onshore wind builds up during the afternoon and evening. In most cases it comes quickly and with force. Be prepared!

Our beautiful coastlines filled with islands and lakes offer fantastic experiences of nature with a rich bird life and unrestricted angling. Pay attention to the nautical charts if you are not used to navigating shallow waters. Sea-eagles and herons are common sights around the coast and on the large lakes.

Every time you go ashore you will find areas rich in cultural heritage with many inhabited islands where fishing and agriculture are still practised and where service to both seafarers and residents is offered. Buy fresh or smoked fish directly from the fisherman and enjoy the company of shimmering water and the cry of the seagulls. Fish will never taste better! Welcome to a fantastic adventure and an experience to be treasured!!
