Summer 25 - 03 Stockholm - Cruising in the Baltic

 

About the Trip

Hi all! Join us for a chilled one-week trip departing from and returning to Stockholm. We'll have the opportunity to go island-hopping around the local archipeligo, moor up in secluded coves, and soak up the Swedish midsummer scenery. No major offshore passages are planned - just scenic coastal cruising and stopping wherever looks inviting. Very appropriate for complete beginners to sailing. It's quite exciting that we will be there in the week leading up to midsummer, which is a big festival in Sweden, and meaning it will almost never get dark (don't come on this trip looking for night hours haha).

Your Skipper: Joe Dolphin

My name is Joe and I am the skipper for this summer programme trip. I sailed with the CUYC 2022 summer programme (Balearics), was a first mate in 2023 (Norway) and then was a skipper last summer (Galicia). I'm a final year PhD at Sidney Sussex (so please come along and help me to procrastinate writing my thesis).

 

How much does it cost?

Apart from the trip cost you pay when you sign up, there will also be expenses for food, marinas and diesal during the week. These will be sorted out on the trip via the Splitwise app, and usually come around to £100. You must also pay for your own transport to and from the handover marina.

 

Travel

You will need to arrange transport to and from the marina. We will try to coordinate this as a crew together in advance. Do not book any flights or travel until your skipper has confirmed your place and contacted you. 

 

What to Bring

See the "What to Bring" tab for the full list, but bring warm clothing, seasickness remedies if needed, sleeping bag, personal items, passport, and a spirit of adventure!
