Sailboats from Norr Mälarstrand, Stockholm

With one of the largest archipelagos in the world and

countless lakes, rivers and canals, Sweden is exceptionally well placed for a rich boating life.

 

The Swedes have always been interested in boats and

boating is one of the largest popular movements in the

country. One-third of the country’s adult population go

boating at least once a season. Sweden also has a highly

developed boatbuilding industry, which generates export

income and provides jobs, particularly in thinly populated

areas. With this in mind, it is not difficult to understand

why boating means so much to so many Swedes and why

Sweden is a major boating nation.
