Stockholm Archipelago is a quite impressive Archipelago to the East of Stockholm. It consists of 24,000 islands and stretches 60 kilometers out into the Baltic Sea. Stockholm Archipelago is also called "Stockholms Skärgård". I have sailed among the islands and used private motor boat to reach the Islands. However, you can also travel by ferry or a steamer. Boating and sailing is a common thing to do in Stockholm Archipelago and many people have summer houses on the various Islands. You as a visitor can buy tickets for one of the many ships that go to many of the larger Islands. Waxholmsbolaget is the biggest company doing Archipelago tours and they have 21 boats. The best thing, however, would be if you could rent your own boat or come with a friend. The so called "allemansrätten" allows anyone to anchor anywhere, swim, fish and pick berries anywhere without the land owners consent.
