The harbor has a shallow depth. With a draft of 1.60m, we were already at the limit.
Otherwise, a nice change of scenery. Marstal by bicycle is no long trip.

Is there any better Place for returning from Ålands?
If so, wrote me an email :-)

Think there Must be Living Geddar, Aborre and Gös in this bay. Good luck.

After arriving in sunny weather, sea-for streamed along the entrance of the bay, very romantic

A Restaurant is places nearby, swedish inhabitans told us.
They Moored their Boat to have a Metal there.
It seems, it is worth to visit it

Whale-watching included !!

Little nice Harbour, Hope you find a Place for your Boat.
It’s very popular.

You Can Watch the porpoise (marsvin / Schweisnswal) in Front of the Harbour.
Or you climb over the Bridge (Guided Tours)

In the Middle of the bay, there is the „Kongebro“, a Bridge maintained by Aarhus Sejlklub.

Depending on the Wind You have to choose the eastern or Western Side.
You Need Long ropes (20m) to Moore

Mooring boies from Danske tursejler Are there too.

Supermarket only 100m Away from the bridge

Pretty harbor with a morbid charm. Easy to approach. Plenty of berths available, sanitary facilities are clean and heated. A good stopover for the route to and from Haparanda, but no shopping opportunities within walking distance.

Those who prefer a somewhat more rural, peaceful setting will find the harbor at Engesberg better suited than Gävle/Gefle. A pretty harbor, including a restaurant. Unfortunately no supermarket, but a neighboring campsite where you might buy milk. We visited twice.

Even known as Fotholmen.
If on the way from/to Haparanda, this is a Safe Harbour.
No Supermarket, no Restaurant.

So far, a nice Place.
We have been there 2026, cause of Heavy Winds on our way to Haparanda

CAUTION !!!
Shallow and narrow entrance !!!
Depth only 2,2m

Have a Look on seacharts before entering !!
Look for trace line in the Chart (Look out for 2 white Posts in the Harbour)
Hold Distance As Long as being unsure how to enter the harbour

Otherwise, use the Harbour about 300m West

I was overwhelmed by the friendly clubmembers and their lovely clubhouse.
Supermarket about 2-3km Away, lean a bike from the Club to reach it. Bus-Station to City about 1,5km Away.

We experienced the midsommar 2026 there, Manager by the Football Club Holmsund at Ljumvikens Havsbad, about 500m Away. LOVELY !!!

Lovely Little Island near Stockholm.
Especially on tuesday evening when the Oldtimer-Ferry Passes by on her line. Cheering sailors, tiring Ferry, an exciting Moment.
A nice old clubhouse, Look Like a musueum
Okay, the toilets Are Not really comfortable, but You will excuse that with that wonderful View and landscape.

Our favourite Harbour in Karlskrona !
Calm landscape so Close to the City Centre.
Enjoy the Peace in this Harbour or borrow a bike to explore Karlskrona.
Karlskrona itself is much nicer than Kalmar, my personal opinion.

The Western Harbour… the Western Side of it is romantical, the eastern Side is brutalism.
Most sailor using it as starting Point on the way to Ålands, thats what it is.

More interesting than Fyrudde is the landscape around the Harbour.
We have been there twice. First in early spring, the Harbour was quite silent. Second time in high Season, the Harbour was really busy.
The Little Shop has the Most necessary foodstuff, the Fruits were Not that fresh.

Overall, a nice harbour

With Northern Wind and Wind from North You Experience a high Swell in the inner Harbour and bridges at outer Harbour.
(We experienced it, sailors had to climb from their boats really Carefully in the inner Harbour, while we were in the outer Harbour)
Öregrund: Three time inhabitans in Summer (Tourist) Shops, Restaurants, 2 Supermarktes
All in All a nice Place to stay one or more nights

Oh god! We sailed on a foggy, rainy day thru väddö-Channel.
The Harbour was closed, lukely we had electricity :-)

The Brewery has changed its Place.
the Restaurant was under construction.
(May 2026)

Use väddö-Channel if you want to avoid high Wind /waves, otherwise there is no Need to visit Väddö.

Very busy Harbour, it‘s just Stockholm !

What shall i say? Visit Stockholm and you will See, Stockholm is one of the Most Beautiful towns in Europe

Of course, You have to pay a Bit more, but it is worth

My tip: After Walking thru the town, visit Skeppsholmen, the calm Place in the busy City, only one Ferry-Station Away from Wasa Marina
