Cruising area · North Sea and Baltic
Stockholm Archipelago
The area is sheltered and beautiful, and it produces more groundings than anywhere else in northern Europe. Between the islands lie rock heads that are on the charts and still get missed beside the channel. Rock damages differently from sand: it tears open rather than scraping, and the damage often reaches into the structure.

Berths, season and winter storage
The season runs from June to August with berths in the middle price band. The area freezes in winter and ashore storage is the norm. Summer nights in natural bays usually mean a stern anchor and shore lines to the rock, which is its own source of damage when the wind shifts.
What this means for your policy
The area falls under the Scandinavia cruising range. Two points deserve attention: whether inspection costs after a grounding are paid even without visible damage, and whether salvage from a narrow channel is covered without an official order.
