Charterbolaget is a boat tour operator based in Saltsjöbaden, Stockholm County, offering guided RIB speedboat cruises and small-group Explorer Cruiser trips across the Stockholm archipelago.
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.
