Boat taxi Vaxholm–Grinda
approx. 25 min 10 nautical miles
Grinda is one of the most visited islands in the middle archipelago, with a hostel, an inn and good swimming. From Vaxholm — the gateway town half an hour from central Stockholm — it is a short run past Ramsö and Tynningö.
How people normally travel Vaxholm–Grinda
Waxholmsbolaget calls at Grinda daily in summer, mostly from Stockholm and Vaxholm, but the timetable shrinks sharply outside the season and the last boat back leaves earlier than most people expect.
Price, whole boat one way
Skippers bid
The price is set by the skipper who bids on your trip — you see the total, including the 10% service fee, before you accept.

- The south jetty and the north jetty (Grinda guest harbour) are far apart — drop the pin on the right side of the island.
- Great for a day trip: book the return at the same time as the outbound leg.
What does a boat taxi Vaxholm–Grinda 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.
