Highlights

Meet your skipper Strandvägen and receive a short briefing on your boat and the ride ahead. Then, don a lifejacket and waterproof gear, and board your modern RIB. Take your seat and hold the clutch rail as your skipper gets ready to go!

Hold on tight and ogle the views over Stockholm, including the impressive Stockholm National Museum (Nationalmuseum), from the water as your boat picks up speed through the water. Glide past the city’s soldierly rows of russet and ocher townhouses, all beautifully reflected in the clear waters.

Heading eastward, cruise past the castle-like turrets of the Prince Eugens Waldemarsudde museum and then feel the wind gather strength and your adrenalin race as you head into the Stockholm archipelago.

Pass the island of Fjäderholmarnas and enter the archipelago, zooming past pine-cloaked headlands, rocky ridges and islands peppered with pastel-colored wooden houses. As your RIB reaches speeds of up to 40 miles per hour (64km per hour), feel the cold spray of the Baltic waters on your face — it’s an experience you won’t forget!

After a while, reach the island of Vaxholm, edging the open Baltic Sea. Here, slow down to admire the mammoth walls of Vaxholm Fortress, a fortified outpost first built in the 16th century and reconstructed some 300 years later to defend the main sea route into Stockholm.

When the time comes, start retracing your route back to the start point. After around 1 hour in total, hop back onto dry land, where your cruise ends.

Lots of fun in an hour. - It was a very efficient and exciting way to see the Stockholm Archipelago in an hour. The duration was just right, and we did not need more time. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would do it again!

Don’t leave Stockholm without doing it!! - Thank you to Kim for what could possibly be the highlight of our trip in Stockholm! We went in November at a time where the foliage in the islands have turned to their autumn colours. The clouds are gray and heavy, winds cold and we had continuous drizzling. The setting seemed like an adventure movie as our guide sped through the canals twisting and turning and riding incoming waves lifting us off our seats. For people who want an adrenaline break in Stockholm. A must-do! Thanks again Kim!

So much fun!! - The RIB speed boat tour was just so fun!!!! I wanted to go further out into the archipelago and this was the fastest way to do it within an hour. We passed by beautiful islands dotted with little cabins and cottages and people sunbathing. We began slowly to take in the sights of the city and then picked up speed, bouncing over waves and holding tight. The pilot made the whole hour fun while feeling safe. I could have stayed out there all day! I definitely want to spend more time in the archipelago. Highly recommended!!!

Fast fun!! - Fast fun! Why take one of the lame slow sightseeing boats when you can see more in half the time on one of these ribs. 45 knots top speed feels very fast on the water and we even got some air going over the wash left by other boats. Highly recommended.

Fast and fantastic - We have lived in STHLM for a while now and haven’t really explored the waterways other than a few slow Baltic Cruises. This was AWESOME. Hasse, our guide, was knowledgeable and with a ton of experience made us feel welcome. Quality, warm overalls and ski goggles donned, we motored through the no-wake zone listening to interesting rid-bits about the history surrounding the waterways. The boat is so cool. Makes you feel like a kid again. And 52 knots (95kph) is not to be sniffed at. It’s a really awesome and unique way to experience an alternate view of this historic city.
