Boat taxi in the Stockholm archipelago

The Stockholm archipelago has some 30,000 islands and a public boat network built for commuters rather than visitors. Wyber is a marketplace for the gaps: you post your trip — pick-up, destination and time — and local boat owners bid on it. You choose the skipper and the price, pay after the trip, and Wyber takes a 10% service fee.

Popular crossings

Waxholmsbolaget and Cinderella run this crossing several times a day in summer, but the last departure is early and the winter timetable thins out to a handful of sailings. If you land at Arlanda in the evening, arrive after the last boat or want to leave Sandhamn at midnight, a boat taxi is usually the only option.

What does a boat taxi cost?

Traditional boat taxi companies in the Stockholm archipelago charge an hourly rate for the boat plus a call-out fee from their own home harbour, which can easily double the price if they are based far from you. On Wyber every skipper bids their own price for your specific crossing, and because the boats are already out in the archipelago most of that call-out disappears. You see the full price before you accept — no fees added afterwards.

How it works

  1. Drop one pin for pick-up and one for drop-off on the map.
  2. Set the time and say how many passengers, bags, children and pets you have.
  3. Boat owners nearby get a notification and bid with a price and an arrival time.
  4. You accept a bid, get the skipper's phone number and a four-digit PIN.
  5. The skipper enters the PIN at pick-up and the trip starts.
