What is a motorboat?
A motorboat is a type of boat that is powered by an engine, rather than relying on wind or manual rowing. These boats come in a variety of sizes and designs, ranging from small dinghies to larger, more powerful vessels. Motorboats are typically used for a variety of activities, including cruising, fishing, water sports, and transportation. In Stockholm, motorboats are a popular choice for exploring the city’s archipelago and waterways, offering speed and convenience for those looking to enjoy the water.

Depending on the specific motorboat and the type of experience, you may also have the option of renting additional equipment, such as water sports gear (e.g., wakeboards or waterskis), or enjoying onboard amenities like comfortable seating, a sun deck, and refreshments. When using a motorboat for sightseeing or exploring Stockholm’s archipelago, you can expect a comfortable and fast way to navigate the waterways, taking in the beauty of the islands and coastline.
