Travel times are estimates without stops and depend on the conditions. The round-trip fuel estimate assumes you return the same way. Also allow time for the destination itself and for the boat handover and safety briefing of approx. 30 minutes at the start of the rental.
A family day on the island, a pizza break or the steam of a wood-heated sauna. Book the Maisa or Villa sauna directly from the island's operator and combine your trip with a meal together.

Ask for a trip tipThe guides are made by ArchipelagoBoats. We rent out our own Buster Magnum in the Turku archipelago from Kaarina and Naantali, and in the Archipelago Sea guides the booking button takes you to our boat's availability on Friilo. We do not have a boat of our own on the Gulf of Finland, so there the booking button takes you to rental boats in the area on Friilo.
The guides are free. We check the details from the destinations' and harbours' own sources, and the sources are listed in every guide. Always check prices and opening hours on the destination's own website before you leave.
