This was absolutely the number one highlight of everything I did during my stay in Stockholm. The combination of high-speed sections and the quieter parts through the archipelago was fantastic. During the slower sections, our guide told us interesting stories and explained a lot about the surroundings, which made the experience much more than just a fast boat ride. The balance between speed, sightseeing and storytelling was perfect. I enjoyed every minute of it and it was absolutely worth the money. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Itinerary
We’ll pick you up from central Stockholm. As we leave Stockholm behind us we pass sights such as The Old Town, Vasa museum and the amusement park, Gröna Lund. Passing the island of Fjäderholmarna we pick up speed and hit 42 knots (78 km/h) on our way to Vaxholm (the capital of the archipelago). We travel through magnificent landscapes made up of lush and rocky islands. Passing islands both inhabited and uninhabited. You will experience historic sites and summer houses dating back from the 17th century. We’ll travel on the water ways of locals, so don’t forget to waive when passing fellow sailors. Before heading back to Stockholm we pass by Vaxholm, also called the Capital of the Archipelago, where many sailors come to proviant before heading out to sea. This is a truly genuine tour where one experiences the archipelago where locals live and vacation. Summer houses here are passed down from generations to generations and many never come out on the open market.

A super ride around islands of Stockholm. The tour guide was extremely professional funny and very competent. He provided an informative narrative alongside his driving skills..
This was an absolutely brilliant experience, our captain and tour guide was excellent, we learned so much about Stockholm, the archipelago and Swedish life. The speedboat was tremendous fun and allowed us to see a lot more of the archipelago than a cruise boat. I’m middle-aged and not that confident climbing in and out of boats but this was really easy and the staff were really helpful and supportive. I can’t recommend this experience enough
Huge fun! Wonderful way to see more of Stockholm than the average tour. Guide and driver William was informed, humorous and very capable. Would highly recommend.
This was an exciting and exhilarating ride on a Rib Boat. We had a great view of Stockholm Central City and the Archipelago. It was very interesting. Our guide was very knowledgeable with some great stories. The ride itself was superb with the twists and turns and shooting across the water VERY FAST. We would highly recommend this as it was very interesting, scenic and a total blast!
We had an amazing time, this was the highlight of our whole trip to Stockholm! Adam was an amazing guide - patient, knowledgeable, a very experienced boat skipper and great company. It was great to see so much of the beautiful archipelago islands and another side to Stockholm life. It was fast and exhilarating but also felt completely safe. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to see a stunning part of Stockholm life in a unique and exciting way. Thank you Adam and Rib Stockholm for a very special experience!
We had a wonderful time and at 70 years old we were the happiest people on the boat! The captain and 1st mate were very helpful and informative. They gave us excellent service helping us stay warm and protected.
Highlight of our trip! Accessed beautiful parts of the archipelago with an adrenaline rush! In great hands with Martin, our tour operator.
Amazing experience. Informative and exciting. Guide William was great. According to my phone GPS, we hit 50 MPH! Will definitely book again in the future.
We had a fun time on this adventure and would do it again! We would also say the captain had a good knowledge of the local area and command of the boat.
We had an absolute blast! The best thing we did while in Stockholm. Would highly recommend!
We had a great time on the speed boat. Would definitely do again if ever back in Stockholm. The guide was informative
My cheeks hurt from smiling so much!!!
Adam was an amazing guide full of knowledge and fun too! The sights were spectacular and we had a beautiful day weather wise!
Great way to see more of Stockholm from the water and what life is like on the water. The boat was a lot of fun and the boat ride was a fun way to see the archipelago. The guide answered all of our questions and made sure we enjoyed the ride. One thing to be aware of - the ride itself was 2 hours with the prep before and coming back it was a total of 3hrs so plan accordingly.
Adam was the best captain, guide, and all around information machine. He made sure everyone was safe, having a great time and filled us with all kinds of local knowledge…and possibly lore 😁. I would happily get back in his boat.
Excellent experience. Beautiful scenery and fantastic crew. We brought our 10 year old and he absolutely loved jetting around.
The captain was fun, safe and informative. The tour was a great way to see exactly how vast Stockholm is and appreciate the different islands.
I love boats and fast rides but for some reason was a little anxious getting on speedboat today! I spoke with Adam-our captain and he put me completely at ease. He was kind, knowledgeable, an excellent driver and also was able to think on his feet as the weather changed from pouring rain to sunshine in a mater of minutes. The tour was so much and informative and can’t recommend more! Adam was wonderful!
Really fun balance of information, scenery, and adventure. Our captain was great! Overall a wonderful experience.
This was the best thing we did in Stockholm. Our guide was Adam and he was phenomenal. He was full of so much interesting information and we had the best time! We also had kids with us and they loved it. Would highly recommend:)
The weather was fantastic. The morning seas were calm, which made the trip enjoyable for a person seeking a smoother ride. Our guide/skipper included some maneuvers and wake encounters that made it fun for those seeking a little adventure.
Amazing time, really friendly and great host, brilliant. Fast moving tour, yet very respectful to the local areas to pass with minimum wake.
Special boat tour of the archipelago making some stops along the way. Even though it was a speed boat which made the experience exhilarating, we never felt fearful, quite the contrary very safe.
Brilliant trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced, pointed out sights we would not otherwise have seen. He was respectful of the water and other users- which were many on a beautiful holiday weekend! I am not usually a lover of speed, but felt totally safe and thoroughly enjoyed it! I would highly recommend this excursion!
Great fun! Warm/dry gear provided. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable and paced just right. Would definitely recommend.
We loved the tour. The tour operator was knowledgeable and friendly. He was very accommodating to our needs and dropped us off at the pier by our cruise ship. We had a lot of fun!
The tour operator is superb. We were pressed for time and he dropped us off back at our cruise ship so we wouldn’t have to deal with Stockholm traffic and a tight departure time on the ship. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience, our tour was led by Adam who was great!
Really great trip. We got to see alot of the islands and some amazing properties. Luckily weather was on our side. Martin was a great guide as friendly and knowledgeable and made sure everyone was safe throughout the trip. Would definitely recommend!
100% recommend this experience. The trip guide and scenery eere awesome !
Fantastic experience. Adam our captain was phenomenal. Great views with the thrills of a speed boat. Would definitely do again.
It was a unique & very fun adventure that exceeded our expectations. Great day on the water.
Thrilling little adventure out into the archipelago. So glad we booked this instead of one of the larger tour boats. It was worth every penny. Interesting to see the homes and other sites all over the archipelago. Adam was a great tour guide and knowledgeable host. And it is a small family-owned business. Highly recommended.
Very enjoyable. A lot of fun when the boat goes fast. Some good information from the guide when the boat slows down. And they put you in all the gear you need to keep you comfortable all 2 hours.
Phenomenally Fun Tour! Adam was terrific. Boat fast yet smooth. Great info shared.
Adam was a great guide and we had an exciting RIB ride out and about the waters around Stockholm on a sunny May morning. Highly recommend especially if you have never been on a RIB.
Brilliant trip with Adam who took us around Stockholm archipelago. Lots of interesting facts along the way. Felt very safe and warm in overalls, life jacket, gloves and googles.
Such a fun experience. I feel horrible because I don't recall the guides name but he was great, super personable. So many stops to take in the views and share stories about the city. Zipping through the archipelago was so much fun. We lucked out with a sunny day but even in bad weather I imagine this is a blast. Highly reccomend.
I joined the 9:30 RIB Stockholm tour yesterday, and it was hands‑down one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel welcome, safe, and excited for what was ahead. Their mix of professionalism, humor, and local knowledge added so much to the experience. The ride itself was incredible the perfect blend of adrenaline and sightseeing. Speeding across the water with the wind and snow in your face, then slowing down to hear fascinating stories about the archipelago, felt like the best possible way to explore Stockholm. The views were stunning, the boat was comfortable and well‑maintained, and the whole experience was run with real care and attention. If you’re visiting Stockholm or even if you live here, this tour is a must. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Great host fun day despite weather - knowledge of area and history was great- good bits on lifestyle of swedes
We had a wonderful sunny day (albeit chilly; dress warmly 😃) that was perfect for this tour as we returned with sunset over the harbor. The speedboats are a lot of fun, the scenery is beautiful and Adam was a fun and very knowledgeable tour guide. It was a great way to see a lot in 2-3 hours!
It's such a super and fun way of getting all the sight seeing in. Adam our guide was incredible. The speedboat itself is super... so exhilarating
This whole experience was great fun! The guides were very helpful and upbeat from the very beginning when we had to get suited up. They provided warm gear that really made the difference between what could've been a cold ride but was instead perfectly comfortable. During the ride itself, the guide provided both interesting information and just the right amount of "thrill". I would highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys a speed boat ride and wants to see the archipelago. The only caution I would give is that you do have to be physically able to climb in and out – I'm 60 years old with Parkinson's and was able to do it but it was a little challenging. Totally worth it!
Fun. Adam was great. It was cold but the equipment offered kept us warm. Lots of islands to see. Fun experience
Exhilarating boat ride around beautiful Stockholm archipelago. We were lucky with a beautiful day and saw some nice houses and the views were gorgeous
Fantastic high energy activity that gets the blood moving. Great guide who made the trip both informative and a pure delight.
Great experience ! Really good and nice guide ! I’d love to could stop and walk a few minutes in the last commercial island (I think it was number 8)
Excellent and fun boat tour of the beautiful and interesting Archipelago. Knowledgeable guides, and fun.
There were both fast and thrilling parts and slow sections with good narration. They provided protective clothing which was needed as the high speed sections can get cold. Because the boat is fast you get to see more however taking photos is more difficult.
