Grinda
A protected nature-reserve island with a famous inn, quiet bays and pine-clad walking paths — an unhurried middle-archipelago favourite.
Why visit Grinda by private boat
Grinda is for charters that aren't in a hurry. The island is car-free, the landscape is calm, and the inn is one of the most beloved restaurants in the archipelago. By private boat you can take a longer, more scenic route and time your arrival around your lunch reservation.
See our archipelago charter service or pair Grinda with a Vaxholm stop on the way out.
Best for
Long lunches ashore, slow-paced full-day charters, couples and small groups who value nature and quiet.
Suggested duration
Typical duration depends on vessel, weather and route — Grinda is most often planned as a long half-day or relaxed full-day charter.
Things to see and do
- Long lunch at the historic Grinda Wärdshus
- Short walk through the island's pine forest and bays
- Swim from a quiet cliff or sandy cove (in season)
- Combine with a stop at Vaxholm or a sunset cruise back to town
