The company runs both private and public departures that range from short 1-hour transfers and sunset cruises to full 5-hour island excursions. Tours visit well-known destinations such as Sandhamn, Vaxholm and Dalarö, and routes include city views of Stockholm landmarks like the Royal Palace and the Vasa Museum on the Stockholm City & Vaxholm itinerary.
Guests can choose high-speed RIB tours for an adrenaline-filled ride through skerries and sound, or a half-day experience aboard the EXPLORER CRUISER Anytec 1230 with a maximum of 10 guests per boat for a more relaxed, small-group expedition. Many guided trips include local storytelling, opportunities for swimming or fika (Swedish coffee and cinnamon buns), and the option for pick-up or drop-off by speedboat for sunset dinners at waterfront restaurants.
Charterbolaget’s offers include public sightseeing departures and private tailor-made outings, plus special private tours on request. Tour durations and formats are clearly listed per trip, and guides provide local information about historic sites such as Dalarö Skans as well as natural highlights like seals and sea eagles.
