Kalmar gästhamn

Kalmar Gästhamn is the municipal guest harbour in the heart of the city, situated along Kalmarsund, one of Sweden's busiest fairways on the east coast. The harbour offers about 150 berths split across two areas: 135 in the Öland harbour and a further 15 at Slottsfjärden, close to Kalmar Castle.

You can moor to a buoy, Y-boom or alongside, and depths in the harbour range from 2 to 4.5 metres, with a maximum of 2 metres at Slottsfjärden. The harbour is open year-round and staffed daily from 1 May to 30 September; outside this period it follows the tourist office's opening hours. Guest berth fees start from 290 SEK per night, with electricity from 50 SEK per day.

Facilities include toilets, showers, a washer and dryer (for paying guests only), drinking water, wifi (included in the harbour fee, though unavailable at Slottsfjärden), pump-out for holding tanks, and a marine fuel station with generous opening hours. Right next to the harbour you'll also find a marina offering repairs and winter storage plus a well-stocked chandlery. Nearby you can shop for groceries and dine at a restaurant.

From here it's within walking distance to Kalmar Castle, the warship Kronan, the charming Kvarnholmen with its shops, and a wide selection of bars and restaurants in Kalmar city. Moor up right in the centre of town and explore Kalmar's sights on foot.
