From here you can take the subway to Ropsten and then the tram ( Lidingöbanan ) all the way to our base at Lidingö-Gåshaga. A taxi takes about 50 min from the Arlanda airport. Map

Hazards

Beware of the shallow areas around the islands and skerries. Also note that the whole archipelago demands serious attention on the sea charts and sharp look out. Please note that the main inlet to Stockholm has heavy traffic of cargo ships and ferries.

The Weather

Most of the time the prevailing wind is SW - NW 1-4 Beaufort during summer, but as a low pressure enters the area you may get rain and sometimes more wind and the direction will vary. Note that in spring and summertime you have very light evenings as the sun sets very late.

The Stockholm archipelago has no tidal change!

Facilities

Water and electricity are available on the dock. You need to fill fuel on one of the islands when you come back. The best located are Waxholm or Saltsjöbaden located approximately one hour from the base.

Two quality restaurants and one café are located within the marina.

If you like to have a business meeting, we have very nice conference rooms with a fantastic sea view!

Moorings

Navigare Yachting berths are situated in our own marina where you will moor alongside jetties. As you depart you will be advised where you will return.
