PIC BOATS
PRIVATE BOAT TOURS
Private boat tours in Stockholm’s archipelago
Experience the delight and summer splendour of Stockholm’s archipelago with a private boat cruise – just for an afternoon, day or perhaps an overnight stay. All excursions are exclusively tailored to your wishes and preferences. Browse below for suitable destinations that show off the magnificent beauty of Stockholm and its archipelago. It is not for nothing that Stockholm is called the Venice of the North. The vessel is a professionally restored Chris Craft Lancer from 1978, operated and supervised by your very own private and fully certified skipper.
Afternoon, day or overnight cruises
Sustainability
Even though our boat dates to 1978 (a true classic), we are fully aware that the use of fossil fuels used during these excursions has an impact on the environment. To compensate for this, we channel 30% of the financial surplus from our boat tours to organizations working with nature preservation and carbon offset. The three organizations we have chosen are the following:
Svensk Kolinlagring
Swedish recreational boats emit 177,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide /year (Point, 2021) which represents 3.5% of Sweden’s total emissions (Naturvårdsverket, 2019). PicBoats’ vessels require an average of 1.2 litres of fuel per nautical mile (1,852 metres/1.5 statute miles). To compensate for the emissions generated from our trips we cooperate with Svensk Kolinlagring (Swedish carbon sequestration) who aim to sequester double the amount of carbon emitted during the boating season.
WWF- Save the Baltic Sea
PicBoats donates to the WWF. Our donations are earmarked to saving the Baltic Sea – the Baltic Stewardship Initiative – and preserving biodiversity and stopping eutrophication.
Biodiversity in Swedish forests
Nature, the archipelago and forests are close at heart to us at PicBoats. And by supporting the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) we help contribute to increased participation and impact regarding issues related to sustainable development in local and global development processes. Climate, forests, agriculture, environmental pollutants, water, oceans and sustainable consumption are important focus areas.
