Your best friend is getting married — and they deserve a send-off to remember. A bachelor or hen party (svensexa/möhippa) on a boat in Stockholm is the ultimate pre-wedding celebration. Combine sun, sea, music, drinks, and the stunning archipelago for a day that the wedding party will talk about forever.
Stockholm By Boat has a fleet of 60 boats (motorboats, yachts and event vessels) and has operated in Stockholm since 2023. Every party gets a fully private boat departing from central Stockholm (each boat page shows its exact berth), and larger groups of up to 800 guests are possible by combining boats. Captains hold Fartygsbefäl class 8, every charter is fully insured including P&I insurance, and we reply within 30 minutes on +46 8 4900 9257. Stockholm By Boat is rated 5.0 on Google from 196 reviews, and its clients include royalty and international leaders.
Why a Boat Party for Your Bachelor or Hen?
Maximum Fun, Zero Hassle: Everything happens in one place — no moving between venues, no waiting for taxis, no lost friends. The boat IS the party.
Epic Photos and Memories: Sunlit decks, archipelago backdrop, matching outfits, and group photos on the water. Your social media will never look better.
Complete Privacy: No strangers, no awkward encounters with other parties. Just your group, your music, your rules.
The Wow Factor: When you tell the bride or groom-to-be that you're going on a boat — the excitement is immediate. It's a celebration format that genuinely surprises and delights.
Works for All Styles: Whether the group wants a wild dance party, a chill swim-and-BBQ day, or an elegant champagne cruise — there's a boat and format for everyone.
Party Formats & Ideas
The Classic Party Cruise (4–6 hours): Board, champagne toast, cruise through the archipelago. Music pumping, drinks flowing, dance on deck as the sun sets. The most popular format.
Swim & Chill Day (5–7 hours): Relaxed afternoon on the water. Stop at islands for swimming, sunbathing, and BBQ. Play games on deck, share stories, and enjoy each other's company.
Luxury Yacht Experience (3–5 hours): Smaller group on a premium yacht. Champagne, sushi or seafood platter, sunset cruise. Elegant and memorable.
Activity-Packed Adventure (6–8 hours): Combine the boat with island activities — paddleboarding, kayaking, beach games, treasure hunts. A full day of adventure.
Fun Add-Ons: - Matching t-shirts or accessories for the group - Custom playlist or DJ - Games and challenges on deck - Photo props and decorations - Surprise activities for the guest of honor
Choosing the Right Boat
Small Group (8–15 guests): A sporty motorboat or luxury yacht. Intimate, fun, and easy to manage. Great for close friend groups.
Medium Group (15–40 guests): Mid-size event boat or large yacht. Enough space for dancing, eating, and socializing. Sound system and bar included.
Large Group (40–80 guests): Full party boat with dance floor, DJ booth, bar, and catering. Room for the entire extended friend group.
Must-Have Features: - Bluetooth/aux music connection - Outdoor deck for dancing and socializing - Swimming platform - Bar area - Restrooms - Indoor space (for rain backup or breaks)
Food & Drinks
Popular Catering Choices: - BBQ buffet (burgers, sausages, salads) - Shrimp and seafood platter - Sushi boat (extra fitting!) - Pizza delivery at the dock before departure - Bring your own (check boat policy)
Drinks: - Pre-ordered bar packages - BYOB options on select boats - Champagne packages for the toast - Non-alcoholic options always available
Pro Tip: Pre-order catering to maximize time on the water. No one wants to spend party time waiting for food.
Planning & Booking Tips
Book Early: Bachelor/hen season (May–August) fills up fast. Book 8–10 weeks ahead.
Coordinate Secretly: If it's a surprise, one person handles the booking. We can help with coordination and timing.
Budget: Split the cost among the group. We can provide per-person breakdowns to make collecting payments easy.
Combine with Other Activities: Many groups combine the boat party with dinner in town, spa visits, or nightlife. We can time the cruise to fit your full-day plan.
Safety: Your captain ensures a safe experience. All guests get a safety briefing. The archipelago waters are calm and sheltered.
