The floating dock in the north has buoys. Preferably moor on the south side, as there is a lot of wash from the fairway outside.

There is also fuel, water, and a pump-out station at the southern dock, but the depth is only 1.4 meters in some places.

Cafe Benitas is a well-visited place, with good food, friendly service in Swedish, and often live music in the evenings.

Pleasant harbor, friendly staff who receive you. The mooring lines were clean and fine (July '25) but anchored quite far out, so keep your distance when you drive in.
The southern pier has buoys, but with a 30-foot boat, the buoys further in are very close.
There is some wake coming in from the fairway, so it can be a bit choppy!

The beach bistro has really good food, for instance, the Skagen pizza was an experience, and the local shop is nice but the selection is a bit meager. Plus for freshly baked bread in the morning.

The surroundings are perfect for walks, and the sheep are friendly.

Clear entrance but a bit unclear where the guest spots are, go all the way in to the last dock, i.e., the farthest west.
Very sheltered harbour, café and services nearby and about 2 km to Hanko center.
Calm and quiet!

High-class, very large guest harbour, good piers and mooring buoys. High-class service, electricity and water at all piers, very nice shower and sauna, and a really pleasant restaurant with an incredibly fine view. Perhaps also the most expensive in Finland (2025 51€)
A bit windy but sheltered from rough seas.

Very nice and calm guest harbor, usually plenty of space, good buoys, and electricity and water on the dock.
Very easy entrance, but it can get choppy with SW wind.

Notholmen’s café is very pleasant, good pastries and especially the shrimp sandwich was incredibly good. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.
Possibility for B&B.

Tyresö castle with its beautiful park is about 600m from the harbor.

Slandö Kalv is Södertälje Boat Club's club harbour, but we felt very welcome and gladly paid the fee.
The harbour is protected from all wind directions and the entrance from the northwest is very clear; you can also enter from the south, but it looks very narrow. With a 1.5-meter draft, it went well.

The island is really beautiful, neatly kept, with a nice view, and especially the 'Sunset bar' is an experience. We immediately understood why there were benches only on one side of the table.

The entrance both from the north and south is very clear. Only the northern side of the pier is a guest harbor. It shallows VERY quickly on the northern side, so be cautious and drop anchor very close. The bottom is mud, so it won't stop abruptly, but you can get stuck.
The island is a base for Håll skärgården ren rf, so their vessel Roskaroope often stays overnight here; leave the south side free. Roskaroope transports waste, so it can sometimes smell a bit.

There is a sauna that you can rent; it is self-heated, and you must clean up after yourself.

Clear and distinct entrance but follow the navigation marks carefully, it is narrow and winding.
The pier is nice, good buoys and the depth is sufficient, at least 4m.
The harbor fee is paid via Mobilepay or to an account. A composting toilet is available right by the pier.

Feel free to take the nature trail around the islet, there is much to see, such as Borstögumman, an old figurehead that washed ashore a long time ago and has been set up on the hill.

Be very careful when entering from the north; there are no markers or alignment boards.
You can go ashore at the point that juts out to the east, either on the northern side or at a small rock-solid pier on the southern side. The bottom is rock/stone, so make sure the anchor is firmly set.
It can be a bit choppy with southeast winds, and some swell comes in from the fairway to the north.

The island is very beautiful and varied with lovely meadows, rugged cliffs, and lush deciduous forest. Cows graze on the island in the summer and are very curious about, for example, what you are grilling :-)

Very clear entrance, good jetty, and sheltered harbour. There is a small shop/café at the jetty with homemade bread and other treats.
The nature trail is really pleasant and the chapel on the eastern side is a sight to see.

Clear entrance but be careful with the leading marks and buoys.

Well-protected harbor, nice docks and buoys, friendly staff, and the best sauna in the archipelago!

Definitely take a walk or rent a bike and explore the island, its history is very interesting.

Restaurant 12" has really good food and a special atmosphere in an old barracks.

Gulf Emsalö is not an overnight harbour but a fueling station and cafe/bar.
Often has live music on summer weekends.

The entry from the north is very narrow and tight, follow the markers exactly!
The entry from the south is clearer but be cautious regardless.

The entire bay is quite deep and there are many landing spots.

The nature is very beautiful and there are toilets and several barbecue areas.

The entrance turns south from the fairway, passes between Mörholmen and Stångholmen, then south between Mörholmen and Villholmen. The chart indicates 1m but my depth sounder never showed less than 2m all the way in.

Once inside the harbor, you can't find a safer spot anywhere, you are completely surrounded by land and the jetty and buoys are good.
The kiosk has a small selection of snacks, drinks, and very friendly staff.

The nature is beautiful and varied, and it is worth walking the nature trail.
