Stockholm's archipelago is the largest in Sweden with about 30,000 islands, of which 200 are inhabited. Only the archipelago in southern Finland is larger. The archipelago ranges from Södermanland up to the coast to Uppland. Stockholm's archipelago is usually divided into three parts; the northern, the southern and the central archipelago.

The northern archipelago is most often referred to the coastal line between Vaxholm in the south and Norrtälje in the north. The southern archipelago is commonly referred to the area between Dalarö in the north and Nynäshamn in the south. The area between Vaxholm and Dalarö is commonly referred to as the central archipelago, consisting of many popular islands.

​

As you can see on the map, our base is located in the central archipelago, more specifically in Saltsjöbaden, a perfect starting point wherever you want to sail. Some distance away is Sandhamn, the east coast's equivalent of Marstrand. Vaxholm, Utö, Möja and Finnhamn are other popular islands in the area.

​

If you plan to sail for several weeks, there are many options. South of Stockholm is the beautiful St. Anna's archipelago. If you are closeby, it may be worth sailing over to Gotland. North of Stockholm you can find the popular Höga Kusten.
