Getfoten is Segelsällskapet Brunnsviken's club island near Vaxholm in the Stockholm archipelago. The club bought the island in 1925 and publishes its position as 59°22'47.80" N, 18°21'26.15" E. It lists a clubhouse, a dance floor, a sauna, showers and an annex, plus several larger jetties in a sheltered spot, with electricity on all the jetties. Visiting boats can moor. Non-members pay a harbor fee, and the club issues a toilet code after that fee is paid. The toilet is in use; the club asks visitors to bring toilet paper, because staff are only on the island from time to time. The sauna is booked and controlled digitally. The club currently says the annex cannot be rented. The club describes Getfoten as a day trip at a moderate distance from Stockholm. Cruise time from Strandvägen along the inner fairway is about 9.9 nautical miles: 40 minutes at 15 knots in a motorboat, and 1h 15min at 8 knots in a yacht. Those are cruise times at those speeds, not a scheduled departure. The club also describes a restaurant with full rights, run by a tenant. Getfoten Sjökrog, the restaurant on the island, says it is closed until further notice.
