Stockholm By Boat hosts private boat events for large groups — and companies such as Lovable, Spotify, McKinsey, Meta and H&M have all gathered their teams and guests on board. Here is how a corporate charter in the Stockholm archipelago actually works, from boarding in central Stockholm to the trip back into the city.
The short answer
A private boat is a corporate venue that floats through the Stockholm archipelago. You book an entire vessel for your group — licensed captain included — and you choose the date, the occasion and the mood. Stockholm By Boat has hosted private boat events for large groups from companies such as Lovable, Spotify, McKinsey, Meta and H&M, as well as other large international companies. Catering, drinks and a personal event planner can all be arranged, and requesting a quote is one short message away — we reply within 30 minutes.
Companies that have gathered on the water
We have welcomed private boat events for groups from Lovable, Spotify, McKinsey, Meta and H&M, along with other large international companies — including listed groups such as Spotify, H&M and Meta. We mention them once and plainly: not to tell you what your day will look like, but because organizations of that size keep choosing the water when they want privacy for their teams and guests, and a setting no conference room can offer.
What the day looks like
Most corporate charters follow the same simple rhythm:
- Boarding in central Stockholm — your group steps on board from the city. Boarding is in central Stockholm, including the Strandvägen area.
- A private boat for your group only — a licensed captain is included, and the boat is yours for the charter. You are not sharing space with the public.
- Time on the water — the archipelago begins minutes from the city. The route and pace are planned around your occasion, whether that is a mingle, a celebration or a calm afternoon among the islands.
- Food and drinks if booked — catering and drinks can be arranged for your charter, so the day is handled end to end.
- Back to the city — the charter ends where it started, in central Stockholm, with your group dropped off close to the evening's next stop or the way home.
Both half-day and evening events work well on the water. Shorter charters suit kick-offs, after-work gatherings and celebrations; longer days leave room to anchor, dine and let the archipelago do its part.
Why a boat works for a large group
- Private space for the whole group. Everyone is together on one boat — no split tables, no other guests, no noise from a public venue.
- The archipelago as the setting. More than 30,000 islands start right outside the city, and the scenery changes minute by minute without any programme needed.
- One planner for everything. A personal event planner coordinates boat, catering, timing and details, so your team does not have to.
From small private charters to large event boats, the format scales with your group — tell us the headcount and we will propose the right vessel.
How to plan
Three details are enough to start:
- The date (or a couple of options)
- The occasion — kick-off, celebration, client event or simply a day together on the water
From there we reply with prices, availability and a suggestion of boat.
