About the harbour
Automatically summarised text: Automatically summarisedvia web search · 28 September 2026Waxholm's Guest Harbour is centrally located in Västerhamnen on Vaxön, in the heart of Vaxholm – often called the capital of the archipelago. The marina has 130 berths and serves as a natural meeting point for both boaters and landlubbers.
The quay and pontoons feature fixed mooring lines complemented by Y-booms, and the guest harbour is open year-round, with full service from the end of April to October.
Within the harbour you'll find a restaurant, a café with an espresso bar, a bar, a kiosk and shops housed in the red boathouses along the pier. There are showers, toilets, a washing machine, waste handling with source sorting, and pump-out for holding tanks. Shore power and fresh water are available at the quay, wifi covers the harbour area, and you can easily stock up on food, drinks and fuel for the onward journey.
Within walking distance you'll find Vaxholm Fortress, lovely beaches, mini golf, and a network of running, cycling and hiking trails, including a Skypark for the adventurous. The town also offers charming shops, a nearby bakery, a liquor store, a post office, a bank and a supermarket – all within walking distance of the pier. Moor up in Vaxholm and enjoy the small-town charm with its historic merchant villas and landmarks.
