The company runs a range of experiences from half-day cruises to full-day private adventures, visiting historic summer houses, fishing villages, and popular islands such as Grinda. Trips include the Half-day Archipelago Tour with visits to 17th‑century sites and a Swedish fika with cinnamon buns and coffee; the Rib & Island visit that combines high‑speed RIB travel with a two‑hour stop on Grinda Island; a 2‑hour Archipelago Tour that cruises to Vaxholm at speeds up to 42 knots; a Full Day Archipelago Tour including lunch with two fika stops and a chance to swim; and a Private 2‑hour Archipelago Tour offering a small‑group experience with an English‑speaking captain.
