A small-group trip into the part of the archipelago most visitors never reach - guided by a local, licensed skipper.
I'm Otto and I've been sailing these waters since I was a kid. The Helsinki archipelago is my backyard, and on this trip I take you into the part of it that most visitors never reach.
We leave Vuosaari Marina on a small private boat and head out into the archipelago. I choose our destination based on the conditions of the day. On the island, we explore on foot, then sit down to a proper Finnish picnic enjoying some local seasonal produce. No rush.
This isn't just a tour. It's what I actually do on summer days, and you're invited.
A short safety briefing, then we head out onto the water, five minutes walk from Vuosaari Metro.
We land and walk the island together to see what the Finnish archipelago really looks like.
An unhurried Finnish picnic on the rocks, then a boat ride back through the archipelago.
I grew up on the water here. The Helsinki archipelago has been my backyard since childhood. I know its hidden coves and best islands across every season. My goal on every trip is simple: show you the Helsinki that I love.
