Sail Away West – Sailing on Sweden’s West Coast

Your Captain & Guide

Sailing the southern archipelago — one tack at a time

I'm Philip and I'll be your captain for the day. Just south of Gothenburg, where the islands thin out and the sea opens wide, lies one of Sweden's most beautiful and underexplored stretches of coastline. These are the waters I call home.

Whether you're a first-time sailor or a seasoned hand looking for a local perspective, I offer intimate, small-group sailing experiences through the southern archipelago aboard my classic cruiser. Expect salt air, granite skerries, and long summer light.

No two days at sea are quite the same. We sail at a relaxed pace, adapt to the weather, and let the wind shape the finer details.
