Rent a boat in Stockholm

Surrounded by the great Baltic Sea, Stockholm, Sweden is one of Europe’s most popular sailing destinations. The idyllic climate, calm seas, and city’s culture make Stockholm one of 12 Knots most endearing sailing charter destinations. If you’d like to visit this incredible destination, try one of our yacht rentals at 12 Knots. We offer affordable rates for both crewed and bareboat charters. But first, here is what you’ll need to know when planning your Swedish sailing vacation:

The waters near Stockholm, Sweden are protected by a large archipelago. This makes sailing in this area more relaxed than in other popular European destinations. However, some of the narrow inlets can be hard to navigate for inexperienced sailors. Sailing in Stockholm should only be done by someone with confidence on the waterways. You may benefit from enrolling in the 12 Knots sailing school or booking a crewed charter for your visit.

Summer is the most popular time to sail in Stockholm. The weather reaches the warmest temperatures and can bring about calmer seas. However, the chance of rain increases in early June and will last through December. Summertime can also bring an influx of tourists (and corresponding higher prices) that some sailors find unappealing.

The best months to visit are May and September, providing warm temperatures and little rainfall. These months are less populated with tourists, providing you a better experience on land as well as at sea.

There are over 38 different boat types from which to choose for your Stockholm yacht charter. 12 Knots makes every effort to ensure that you are comfortable with your selection, offering crewed excursions as well as budget-friendly bareboat trips for every occasion.
