What does a boat taxi Simpnäs–Arholma cost?
There is no fixed tariff. Each skipper bids their own price based on the distance, the time of day and how close they already are. Because the boats on Wyber are already out in the archipelago, you avoid paying for a long call-out from a distant harbour. You see the total before you accept and pay only once the trip is completed. The price covers the whole boat and is split across everyone travelling.
Safety and contact
Once you accept a bid, you and the skipper exchange phone numbers so you can call each other about the jetty or the time. At pick-up you show a four-digit PIN which the skipper enters, and the trip starts. Afterwards you rate each other, just like on Airbnb.
