Bohuslän’s archipelago offers excellent natural harbours and island passages. Also, the coastline offers many good quality marinas for boating visitors. Boating is popular among the locals and in you will also find visiting boats from Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark and so on.
In the archipelagos of Fjällbacka and the Kosterhavet there are many islands to choose from. Also along the entire Bohuslän coast there are plentyful of beautiful spots to dock at; both lovely hamlets as well as uninhabited islets you may have to yourself.
If you want to see world-class sailing, several regattas are offered every summer.
The most spectacular are the match racing regattas; for example the Match Cup at Marstrand with the top 10 male racing crews of the world circuit.
If you prefer regular yacht racing, where you can participate yourself, there are plenty in Bohuslän. Some well-known ones are Tjörn Runt, Bohusracet in Uddevalla – the Nordic region’s largest two-handed race – and Marstrandsregattan.
