Sail in the Stockholm archipelago with your own skipper

Sail in the Stockholm Archipelago — with skipper, course or holiday aboard Operah
Discover the Stockholm archipelago for six days and six nights aboard the Operah, Sailstar's large sailboat -- a 15-meter Beneteau 50. A sailing week filled with experiences, nature and community, where you choose whether to learn how to sail, sit back and enjoy — or a little of both.
We sail from Viggbyholm, north of Stockholm, out towards one of the world's most beautiful archipelagos with over 30,000 islands. The journey goes between quiet natural harbours, charming island taverns and classic places such as Sandhamn, Möja, Utö or Finnhamn. On board there is plenty of room for both rest, conversation and sailing adventures.
This week we offer sailing with your own skipper/instructor where you get to steer, sail, trim and navigate together with our instructor. All of our skippers have at least Ship Officer Class VIII and extensive experience in archipelago sailing. We know where the pearls are and we promise this week will be a memory for life.
No previous experience is required — we adapt the layout according to the wishes of the group and the weather.

About Sailstar
Sailstar is one of Sweden's most established sailing schools for adults — founded and run by Tomas Sandström, sailor, instructor and author of several of the country's most widely used sailing books.
Since its inception in 2010, Sailstar has trained over 4,800 sailors in everything from beginner courses to advanced racing and long-distance sailing. The business starts at Viggbyholm in Täby, north of Stockholm, and is complemented by international courses in Greece.
The philosophy is simple — to teach sailing in a safe, educational and inspiring way where practice, experience and knowledge go hand in hand. History Sailstar was founded with the vision to create a sailing school that took adult learning seriously.
Unlike many traditional sailing schools, Sailstar initially built its courses on small groups, well-trained instructors and modern boats. The 2010s saw the addition of big boat courses at Operah, racing activities with Aira 22 boats, and international sailing weeks in Croatia.
In 2025, the business expanded to Greece as well, with a sailing base in the Olympic Marina, Lavrion. Today Today Sailstar offers a complete training program for both beginners and experienced sailors.
The company has a unique combination of practical instruction in modern boats and well-structured training materials — including the course book Basics of Sailing and several further developed theory modules online. The instructors are experienced sailors with a solid background in racing, long-distance sailing and training.
Course operations are conducted with modern day sailors (Aira 22), dinghies, NF boats and large sailboats (Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 “Agrippa” and Beneteau 50 “Operah”). Course Offers Sailstar offers courses for all levels — from first sailing experience to advanced training: Basic level
Each participant is given time to develop at their own pace, supported by instructors who both teach and inspire.
We believe in hands-on training in real conditions, small groups, and clear goals -- from first stroke of cruise to advanced navigation.
