About the harbour
Automatically summarised text: Automatically summarisedvia web search · 29 September 2026Bockören is a small boat harbour and archipelago hub in Petalax, part of Malax municipality in Ostrobothnia on Finland's west coast. The site today serves as the main base for boat traffic out to the Petalax archipelago, with a large number of boat berths and boathouses on municipal land.
Malax municipality leases out both boat berths and boathouse plots at Bockören. Fuel is also sold on site, so you can refuel during your trip through the archipelago.
Bockören has a distinguished history as a royal shipyard from 1682 to 1701. Four ships were built here at the time, two of which were as long as 110 feet (about 33 metres). To commemorate this, the Petalax local heritage society erected a memorial stone on the site in 1979. Pull in at Bockören and experience the archipelago history of Ostrobothnia as you follow in the wake of old-time shipbuilders.
