Ö-hoppa i Karlskrona skärgård, Blekinge

Boat trips in Blekinge – find your island escape

Watch the harbour slip away and step ashore for a coastal walk, a swim or lunch by the water. Along Blekinge’s coast in southern Sweden, passenger boats and ferries take you from seaside towns to islands with wooded paths, small harbours and open sea views.

Find your departure point, check the timetable and choose an island for the day. If you fancy island hopping, build your route around the boats that connect each stop.

Where will your boat trip begin?

From Nogersund near Sölvesborg in the west to Karlskrona in the east, each departure point opens up a different part of Blekinge’s coast.

Start with what you would like to do ashore. A short crossing leaves more time for swimming and exploring; a longer boat trip makes the journey part of your day.

 

 

Karlskrona – explore the coast from the water

Make a boat trip part of your stay in Karlskrona. Seasonal departures from Fisktorget give you another perspective on the city and its surrounding islands.

For Hasslö, Sturkö and Trummenäs, check the boat commuter services from Handelshamnen. These operate year-round on weekdays, so check carefully if you are planning a weekend outing.

Plan your day: Decide whether you want a sightseeing trip or time ashore, then choose a route with a return sailing that suits your plans.
