Sailing Trips in Sweden

Sailing Trip in Sweden

Sailing in Sweden with a skipper is the ultimate way to enjoy the Swedish archipelago. With us there’s no need for previous sailing experience or your own sailboat, because an experienced skipper takes care of all the practicalities on board, while a chef prepares the food during the trip. Our sailing trips are perfect if you like to enjoy yourself and relax, if you want to learn more about sailing or if you’re curious to discover Sweden from a new perspective.

Sail in Sweden with a skipper and a host

The Swedish west coast is a spectacular destination for sailing, especially during the bright Nordic summer months. Charming fishing villages, untouched islets, and smooth granite skerries surrounded by clear coastal waters create a unique landscape that is best explored from the sea. Sailing trips in Sweden offer a peaceful and immersive way to experience the beauty of the archipelago and reach places that are otherwise difficult to access.

With an experienced skipper guiding the journey, you can relax and enjoy a comfortable and all-inclusive sailing holiday in Sweden. Breakfast and lunch are freshly prepared on board by your host, drinks are included, and accommodation on the yacht, port fees, and other boat-related costs are taken care of. Each day the crew leads the way to new islands and scenic harbors, allowing you to enjoy nature, great company, and the calm rhythm of life at sea.

What does a typical day on board look like?

MORNING

Waking up on a yacht during a sailing trip in Greece is a peaceful way to begin the day. Start with a refreshing morning swim in the clear Mediterranean water or enjoy a quiet cup of coffee on deck as the harbor slowly comes to life. Soon after, a generous breakfast is served on board and shared together in the cockpit — the perfect start before another day of sailing and island exploration.

MID-MORNING

After breakfast, the skipper gathers everyone briefly to outline the day’s sailing route and highlights along the way. Then it’s time to set sail. If you’re curious about sailing, you’re welcome to get involved — from helping raise the sails to learning a bit about navigation — while those who prefer can simply relax on deck and enjoy the sunshine. As the yacht glides between islands, there’s plenty of time to unwind and take in the beauty of the Greek sea.

LUNCHTIME

As lunch approaches, we stop in a quiet, peaceful bay where we put down anchor for a few hours and enjoy a lunch prepared with local ingredients. There will also be plenty of time for sunbathing, swimming and enjoying your surroundings. Perhaps you’ll take the dinghy out to explore the nearest beach?

AFTERNOON

After lunch, we sail on to one of Greece’s beautiful harbours, towns or villages, where you will spend the night. Some light snacks are served on arrival and the skipper will tell you more about the day’s destination.

Our Destinations

Join our sailing trips in some of the world’s most beautiful cruising regions. During the summer season, explore iconic Mediterranean and Baltic destinations such as Croatia, Greece, Italy, and Sweden. When autumn and winter arrive in Europe, our sailing journeys continue in the warm waters of the Caribbean.

Whichever destination you choose, the experience remains the same — a carefully designed, all-inclusive sailing trip where the crew takes care of the sailing, planning, and onboard hospitality. All you need to do is relax, enjoy the journey, and discover new places at sea.

Your questions answered

Our sailing trips are designed to be simple and mostly all-inclusive, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the experience at sea. Each sailing trip with a professional skipper and host includes:

A qualified and certified skipper with strong local knowledge and extensive sailing experience
A dedicated host who prepares breakfast and lunch on board, along with a drinks package during the trip
Accommodation in a double cabin on the yacht
Bed linen and towels
Boat-related costs such as port fees, LPG, and diesel

The only additional costs during the trip are typically evening meals ashore and any personal spending for shopping or other purchases during the journey.

Staying on a boat isn’t so different from being at home – the main difference is that there is limited space, water and electricity on board. That’s why it’s a good idea to think about saving water and take shorter showers, especially when you are moored to a buoy or at anchor.

You will stay in a private cabin aboard a catamaran or yacht, depending on which trip you book. Each cabin sleeps two people, so if you’re travelling alone, you will share a cabin with another guest. Depending on the boat model, guests will sleep in either double beds or bunk beds.

All our boats have comfortable beds, a kitchen (galley), showers and toilets, as well as areas for socialising including the cockpit, parts of the foredeck and the saloon inside the boat.

Whilst sailing, you can charge your phone via a 12V power socket. When moored in a marina with access to shore-side electricity, you can charge via a 220V power socket.
Some of our boats have generators – when the generator is running you can use the 220V power socket without being connected to shore-side electricity.
Harbours often have showers and toilets you can use, depending on the destination.

During your sailing trip, the crew ensures everything runs smoothly so you can fully relax and enjoy the experience at sea. The host takes care of meals on board, preparing and serving breakfast and lunch while creating a welcoming and social atmosphere for everyone on board.

Our sailing trips include breakfast, lunch, and a drinks package with water, soft drinks, and wine or beer served with meals. In the evenings, the yacht typically docks in a harbor town or island village where guests enjoy dinner ashore and explore the local restaurants and cafés.

Your host and skipper are always happy to share their favorite recommendations, helping you discover the best places to dine and experience authentic local cuisine along the way.

A sailing trip with a skipper is the perfect holiday if you want to relax and enjoy, but also take an active part in sailing and other fun experiences. The skipper steers the boat, is responsible for safety, and helps to plan the route. Our skippers are not only professionals, they also know where to find the best islands, restaurants and bays for swimming. The skipper sleeps on board the boat but always has their own cabin, and is available whenever needed.

In addition to extensive sailing experience, our skippers hold certifications such as the Coastal Skipper Examination, Boat Skipper licence C and Short Range Certificate (SRC) licence. All our staff undergo thorough training arranged by More Sailing in Sweden and Croatia.

When Is the Best Time to Go Sailing in Sweden?

Our sailing trips in Sweden take place during the Nordic summer high season from July to August, when the Swedish west coast offers its best sailing conditions. During this time, the archipelago is vibrant and lively, the sea has warmed up, and the small harbors and seaside restaurants are fully open for the season.

Summer weather along the coast is typically pleasant, with temperatures around 20–25°C and long daylight hours that allow plenty of time to explore the islands and enjoy life at sea. While the weather in Sweden can change quickly, the west coast is often one of the sunniest regions in the country during the summer months — making it an ideal time to experience sailing trips in Sweden.

Which routes do we sail in Sweden?

Our sailing trips in Sweden depart from the charming coastal community of Skärhamn, located on the island of Tjörn along the Swedish west coast. Surrounded by a beautiful archipelago of rocky islets and sheltered bays, this area provides the perfect starting point for exploring the Nordic coastline by yacht.

Throughout the week, the skipper plans the sailing route based on wind and weather conditions while remaining flexible to the group’s preferences. On a typical sailing trip, there is time to visit several of the region’s most picturesque islands and coastal villages, often including Marstrand, Käringön, Åstol, Smögen, and the remote island group of Väderöarna, each offering its own unique character, harbors, and stunning coastal scenery.

"Boon was incredible to work with. I used them to broker a yacht in the Philippines and it was one of the best trips of my life….and I am a frequent traveler with high expectations. Polina is a seasoned professional and responded to all of my requests and questions in lightning speed. The contracting process was painless. It’s rare to receive this level of concierge service these days. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
