Boat taxi Stavsnäs–Sandhamn
approx. 30 min 12 nautical miles
Sandhamn on the island of Sandön is the sailing capital of the Stockholm archipelago, and almost everyone reaches it from Stavsnäs vinterhamn on the Värmdö mainland — about an hour by car or bus 433/434 from Stockholm, then roughly 30 minutes across Kanholmsfjärden by fast boat.
How people normally travel Stavsnäs–Sandhamn
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.
Price, whole boat one way

- Pick-up is normally the jetty at Stavsnäs vinterhamn — drop the pin there rather than typing an address.
- Kanholmsfjärden gets choppy in a hard north-easterly; ask for a bigger boat if you are several people with luggage.
- Both the guest harbour and the steamboat jetty (Ångbåtsbryggan) in Sandhamn are common drop-off points.
What does a boat taxi Stavsnäs–Sandhamn 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.
