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

The northern archipelago is most often referred to as Vaxholm as a starting point in the south and Norrtälje in the north. If you talk about the southern archipelago, it is usually between Dalarö down to Nynäshamn you talk about. Between Vaxholm and Dalarö are the islands that are popularly the middle part.

As you can see on the map, our base is in the middle part, more specifically in Saltsjöbaden, perfect wherever you want to sail. Some distance away is Sandhamn, the east coast's equivalent of Marstrand. Vaxholm, Utö, Möja and Finnhamn are other well-visited islands in the vicinity.

If you are at sea for several weeks, there are many options. South of Stockholm's Archipelago is the beautiful St. Anna's archipelago - if you are down there, it may be worth sailing over to Gotland. North of Stockholm is the so-called and special High Coast.
