There is a marina here with room for many boats. In July it is almost always full, so anchoring in the harbour is an alternative. Anchoring depths: 5-8 metres.
The marina has a small shop for the most necessary items.

The outer pontoon is gone! Only the the inner pontoon exists now, but it seems to be under development. There’s room for about 4-5 boats at the moment. Visitor places are on the outside and marked with a green sign. Water, electricity and toilets/shower are available.

Very charming, well-protected marina. The depth of the fjord may be a hinder for some (2m just before the marina) to be able to come here. You can drop anchor before the 2 metre section and take your dinghy to the marina. There is an open-air museum, a castle museum and two restaurants close to the marina.

A calm natural harbour. There is a jetty for a yacht club - it is private.
Anchoring depth: 5-6 m, muddy bottom.
Not for boats with more than 2m draft - we measured 2.2m at the entrance during a high-water period (low pressure for several weeks).

This is the pontoon you would use to visit the Artipelag art museum, but anyone can use it. It’s free of charge but there are no facilities either. The western side (long side moorings) is for larger boats but is open to waves from the sea. The inner side has slots for each boat and is protected from waves coming in from the west.
The walk in the forest close by is lovely, and the museum has interesting exhibits, a café and a restaurant.

The entrance must be approached with caution.
The harbour is well protected and there are several places to moor to the shore. Anchoring requires a long anchor line/chain since the depth is 6-8 meters.
All green buoys belong to the club Sjöbjörnar/Merikarhut and should not be used unless you are a member.

God anchor bottom, excellent protection for east, south and west winds. Some swell from passing ferries to and from Turku.

The depth of the river leading to Porvoo is marked as 1.9 meters. We did not see it less than that going up the river. You can reserve a berth with Satamapaikka.com (recommended as the guest harbour is quite small). Porvoo is a charming town with plenty of restaurants and shops.

A small, very well protected harbour. There’s room for 3-4 boats at anchor and a few more using “Scandinavian mooring” at the edges of the harbour. Depths: 5-6 metres.

Beautiful anchorage with a view to the open sea. Good anchor holding and several places for mooring to land. Well-protected for all wind directions except southerly.
Beware of all the underwater rocks!
