Today it was Skärgårdsbåtens Dag!

Skärgårdsbåtens Dag was first celebrated in 1964 with some of Waxholmsbolagets steamboats. Since then, the event has grown to include dozens of ferries and thousands of passengers and spectators, and is organized each year in early June by the Skärgårdens trafikantförening. It is organised to mark the start of the summer boat season!

Participating steamboats this year from Waxholmsbolaget are Storskär and Norrskär, veteran m/s Västan and m/s Söderarm. In addition, participating steamship Mariefred, steamship Saltsjön and the 100 year celebrating steamship Blidösund. From Strömma Kanalbolaget there is m/s Angantyr.

All boats left Stockholm around 18:15 and arrived between 19:45 and 20:00.
