Bohuslan (West Coast)

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ชSweden

Sweden's west coast from Gothenburg north to the Norwegian border, where the granite skerries turn pink at sunset, the shrimp is fresh off the trawler, and the fishing villages are painted in regulation Falu red.

Brittany (South)Mid-Range

Brittany (South)

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ทFrance

Atlantic France at its most characterful: the Golfe du Morbihan's sheltered tidal basin, Belle-Ile's dramatic cliffs, and pilotage that demands proper seamanship.

Danish South Funen ArchipelagoMid-Range

Danish South Funen Archipelago

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐDenmark

Norwegian Fjords (West Coast)Premium

Norwegian Fjords (West Coast)

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ดNorway

Bergen and the Sognefjord coast, where the glacial valleys meet the sea, the katabatic gusts test your seamanship, and the midnight light extends the sailing day beyond any Mediterranean precedent.

Stockholm ArchipelagoMid-Range

Stockholm Archipelago

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ชSweden

Thirty thousand islands stretching from central Stockholm into the Baltic, where the summer light lasts twenty hours, the granite skerries glow pink at sunset, and the right of public access makes every island shore yours to explore.

The SolentMid-Range

The Solent

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งUnited Kingdom

Britain's charter capital: Cowes, Lymington, and the Isle of Wight, where the tidal sailing is demanding, the racing heritage deep, and the Solent's pubs reward every arrival.

West Cork & Kerry

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชIreland

Ireland's Atlantic south-west: Bantry Bay, the Skellig Islands, and the Kenmare River, where the sailing is Atlantic-grade, the pubs are genuine, and the Fastnet Rock marks the edge of Europe.

West Scotland (Inner Hebrides)

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งUnited Kingdom

Oban to Mull, Skye, and the Small Isles: Atlantic Scotland's wild west coast, where the eagles, the whisky, and the anchorages justify the challenging conditions.

Harris, Lewis, and the remote chain beyond โ€” where the Atlantic meets Scotland's outer edge and the sailing is as demanding as British waters get outside the open ocean.
