Lysekil Marina is a great guest harbor with large capacity and a great variety of mooring methods ranging from alongside, box, and stern buoys. Depending on the size of the boat, you can reserve a spot in advance through the municipality's website. During peak season, you can call the harbor master who will assist you in finding a spot and getting settled. Very good service.
Beautiful facilities on land and a lovely area around the pier. Personally, I don't find Lysekil center very exciting. But there is a Systembolag and an okay Coop store to stock up the fridge and freezer. There is a boat store along the harbor promenade for those who need something for the boat, but the prices are not perceived as particularly low. For those interested in diving, the Nordic region's largest dive center is located in the harbor, Dive Team Lysekil. They have good guides and lots of equipment for purchase and rental. There are also diving spots right outside the harbor, providing great opportunities.
When approaching the harbor, the southern harbor basin has a specified depth of only 2.2 meters at the entrance. This is due to crossing chains between the floating docks that form the entrance to the harbor basin. Fortunately, these chains were rearranged in 2024, so the entrance depth is better than indicated for larger boats. We have a draft of 2.6 meters and entered without problems.
In general, swell and traffic waves are noticeable in the facility and if the winds become strong, regardless of direction, it can be quite noticeable in the harbor.

The Marina Lysekil is a popular destination for sailors on the Swedish west coast. It is located in the picturesque region of Bohuslän and offers a good starting point for cruises in the archipelago or along the coast. The marina features modern amenities such as power and water connections, showers, toilets, a fuel station, and a crane. There is also a shipyard nearby. The marina is kept very clean and the facilities are well-maintained. The marina is somewhat exposed and can be a bit unsettled in strong winds. During the high season, it is advisable to reserve a berth in advance.

There are three guest harbors in Lysekil. The most important one is located furthest south. There is a large marina where two sections serve as guest harbors. One section is occasionally reserved for sailing events. There are ice stands and a restaurant in the harbor area. A little further in, there is a guest harbor in the fishing harbor. It is less attractive. On the other side of the headland, there is also a guest harbor in an industrial area. I would almost say that if you cannot find space in the main guest harbor, skip Lysekil and go to Fiskebäckskil on the other side of the fjord.
Lysekil is a small town the size of Strömstad, but with not quite as many tourists. The town is situated on a headland with harbors on both sides. The outermost part is a public area with beaches and smooth rocky shores. From the sea, the large granite church dominates the view. The old part of town is quite pleasant. The southernmost part consists of old wooden houses. The old town center has cobblestone streets and large wooden houses. In the center, there is a charming little square with cafés. Further inland it is a more ordinary town. The town's biggest attraction is Havets hus - a nice aquarium. Not large, but worth a visit. With the same ticket, you can play minigolf outside, and there is a café with a view of the sea.
