Spotlight On: 'Allemansrätten'
Allemansrätten (“freedom to roam” or “everyman's right”) is local Swedish law and practice that allows anyone the right to enjoy nature, including on privately owned land. As long as you're outside the immediate area of a private home, respectful of Nature and other people, and “do not disturb or destroy,” you can even camp for up to three nights without special permitting.
This commitment to allowing everyone to share in the natural beauty of the region is another reason the Swedish archipelago is a classic & loved charter destination.

Sweden Archipelago Seasons & Climate
Although the common imagery of Sweden is a winter wonderland, sailing conditions in the Swedish archipelago are warmer and drier than you might expect. The Gulf Stream causes warm waters to gather along Sweden's west coast, which creates ideal summer sailing conditions during the high season of early April through the beginning of September:
- Summer high temperatures in Stockholm average 20° C, with the potential for temperatures to soar to a balmy 30° C.
- Rainfall and winds during summer are very light, except for the brief August rainy period.
- Summer daylight in the Baltic can last up to 20 hours long from mid-June through mid-August. Sunsets are very late and the evenings are bright.
Summer sailing conditions in Sweden are spectacular, almost unique in the world for creating warm days that seem almost endlessly bright and thrilling. Book your dream Sweden yacht charter vacation and enjoy the spectacular sights and adventures of a lifetime!
