Plan a route in the Stockholm archipelago

In the inner archipelago Vaxholm and Furusund are easy stops in sheltered sounds. Further out Sandhamn, Moja and Finnhamn give a taste of open water, and Grinda is a classic overnight. Uto is the best known destination in the south.

With islands this dense, wind direction matters more than wind speed: there is nearly always a sheltered side within the same area. Saaristo shows which cove is sheltered right now.

The season runs from May to September, and in July the most popular guest harbours fill up by early afternoon. Many skippers skip the harbour and anchor in a natural cove instead, and there is no shortage of those here - Saaristo shows both options on the same map.
