Corporate Kickoff Boat Stockholm — Planning Guide

A corporate kickoff sets the tone for the season ahead. Hosting it on a private boat in Stockholm gives your team a shared experience away from the office, with the city and the Stockholm archipelago as the backdrop. Stockholm By Boat has operated since 2023 and has a fleet of 60 boats — motorboats, yachts and event vessels — so the boat can be matched to the size and format of your kickoff.

Why Hold Your Kickoff on the Water?

Fully private: Every charter is fully private and comes with a captain, so the boat is reserved for your team and your programme alone.

Central departures: Charters depart from central Stockholm, at Strandvägen, which keeps travel simple for guests coming from the office or a hotel.

A change of scene: Leaving the office for the water gives the kickoff a clear start and a setting your team will remember.

Choosing a Boat for Your Team Size

Small leadership teams: A motorboat such as Loris, for up to 8 guests, suits a compact management kickoff. Browse more options on the motorboat page.

Mid-size teams: A yacht such as Vera, for up to 25 guests, gives a department room to gather on board. See all options on the yacht page.

Large teams: Teaterskeppet welcomes up to 385 guests. For larger groups, we combine boats for events for up to 800 guests. See the event page for event vessels.

Planning the Programme

Trips are usually at least a half day. Dinner on board can be offered, alcohol can be served on board, and an artist or band can be added. Your event manager helps tailor the details — food, drinks, entertainment, route and timing — and your written proposal confirms what is included for your chosen vessel.

A short trip is possible too: Fjäderholmarna is 15min from central Stockholm by motorboat and 25min by yacht.
