Sweden Yacht Charter Guide for 2025 and 2026 | Northern Europe

Cruising Sweden

Sweden – the Land of the Midnight Sun - is a Nordic country on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe, bordering Norway to the west and Finland to the northeast, connected to Denmark by the Öresund Bridge.

Sweden encloses the Baltic Sea on its east and has the North Sea on its West Coast. These two coastlines offer some of the best sailing regions in the world, and some of the most picturesque, unspoiled and sheltered waters in Europe.

Together, the archipelagos of Stockholm, Åland and Finland form the largest archipelago in the world, counting more than 100 000 glorious islands in total, out of which the Stockholm Archipelago accounts for about one third.

The season for yacht charter in Sweden is from June to September - during the summer months the sun hardly sets and in June/July it never gets dark at night.

There is a line of little harbours/villages along the west coast which make a perfect one week sailing trip, with either short or long days of sailing. AND week 29 is a special week when about 200 boats with party people follow a particular schedule with new places every night!

Also, for one week in July thousands of tourists visit for the Marstrand Match Cup, so another great opportunity to charter a yacht and join the party atmosphere in this glorious ancient port town and resort!

Sweden is certainly a must-visit destination for anyone seeking glorious sailing as well as natural and cultural treasures in abundance on many of her islands.

Boatbookings makes chartering a yacht in this spectacular destination easy, whether bareboat or skippered, for a few days or a few weeks at a time.
