We offer private sailing tours for families and small groups. Daytours or overnight tours. We sail from from Dalaro, in the southern part of the Stockholm Archipelago. You get to us and the real archipelago in just one hour by car or train from Stockholm City. No former experience needed, just the desire to sail! We have skilled English- and French-speaking skippers who love to show you how to handle the boat and to share the hidden gems of the archipelago.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Booked by phone in May a date in September. They tailored a day according to our wishes from 09:00 to 17:00. Competent, sympathetic and educational skipper. The four of us friends had minimal or limited experience in sailing previously, but Karin made us gradually take more responsibility in cruising, jib, swoosh, trim the sails and get the boat where we had envisioned. We felt very well during the sailing but were also very lucky with the weather. Highly recommended! However, there is a risk of arousing a desire for more! ⛵️

I had two amazing days on the course Sailing 2 with Birgitta on Esmeralda II. Birgitta is an incredible instructor and person, extremely knowledgeable, good educator and very good at adapting to the needs that we course participants had. She both showed and explained in a clear way and left room to test and take responsibility. I learned so much.
In addition, the boat is great and comfortable, the food was delicious and the company the best you could wish for.
Earlier in May I also attended a manoeuvring course about driving a sailboat with an engine with Ulrika as instructor. Ulrika was an incredibly calm and confident instructor and the course gave me exactly what I needed to feel safer in the manoeuvring of my boat.
I have felt very inspired by the courses I have attended and to see with what knowledge and obviousness it is possible to drive a sailboat like Ulrika and Birgitta can. I really recommend anyone who wants to learn more about sailing to take a course at Wind and Water.

Had a fantastic day on Isola with Karin. Karin was very well prepared and we sailed the boat in fresh conditions around Ingärofjarden. I would highly recommend Karin and courses. Marina was easy to get to via public transport from Stockholm.

I took a maneuvering course with Birgitta on her nice Linjett. We learned a lot of good tricks for maneuvering and docking in tight harbors that will be of great use this summer. Birgitta adapts the arrangement so that it suits all participants. Highly recommended!

I had two fantastic course days with Birgitta. She is an incredibly knowledgeable and inspiring instructor who was very good at adapting the course to the level of knowledge of us participants. Great variety of guiding us and taking a step back and letting us solve the situations ourselves.
I recommend anyone who wants to learn more about sailing and become more independent in their sailing to take a course!

We spent 3 fantastic days on board Esmeralda II with Brigitta as skipper and instructor on the Sailing Certificate 1 course.
Birgitta was very educational and we got to practice sailing in all different winds, adding and putting out and navigating. Very educational and fun. One of us had never been out in the archipelago on a sailboat, so Birgitta took us to natural harbors where we got to see the archipelago life with birds and other things. Great fun and educational course. Can highly recommend Wind and Water.

Me and my partner are curious about the sailing world and booked a two day Master class with Karin Modigh on her boat Isola.
What a hit! Karin is a fantastic person and teacher and we got hands-on both handle the boat and learn a lot about sailing. Sailing in the Stockholm archipelago is beautiful and anchoring in natural harbours for lunch break, it was really great. When the course ended, we met Skipper Birgitta, who passionately told us about life as a long sailor, something we were curious to know more about. We are super happy with the course, we will gladly come back to learn more, and we can warmly recommend Vind o Vatten!

My husband and I spent an absolutely fantastic day together with skipper Ulrika. We are both new to sailing and it was with both great anticipation and a little nervousness that we boarded Terezza for our very first sailing. However, the nervousness subsided quickly when we understood that Ulrika would guide us through the day with an experienced hand, good pedagogy and great competence and security. During the day, theory and practice alternated in a smooth way and we got to take part in both practical tips and exercises. Thanks to Ulrika, we had a truly wonderful experience of sailing and we look forward to returning to Vind och vatten for more courses in the future.

I was looking for a sailboat maneuvering course and was really happy when I saw that Birgitta at Vind o Vatten arranged this course in collaboration with "She Capatain".
I chose this course because there are 4-5 participants, which means that everyone gets the opportunity to practice and feel the elements. Birgitta is calm and confident and an excellent teacher who gives the time that everyone needs. Very good course, recommended!

Our instructor was Birgitta , we sailed 6 hours or so with Birgitta mostly coaching us and allowing us to do the sailing with encouragement, and guidance. We stopped in a small island harbor ate a picnic we prepared, we got to swim hike and pick blueberries. What a day to remember, we are coming back again for more instruction and fun. Thank you Brigitta, is small compared to the good times we had.
