Sotkanranta

Sotkanranta is a guest harbour and marina in Hämeenlinna, beautifully situated in the sheltered inner harbour on Lake Vanajavesi, close to the city centre.

You sail in from Vanajavesi, where the harbour area has several piers marked with letters on the harbour map - follow the signage and staff instructions to the guest berths. Day visits are free, while an overnight stay at an anchor or pole berth costs €35 per night, side-mooring costs €5 per metre, and at the A-pier the rate is €25 per night. Electricity is included in the overnight fee, and there is a launching and hauling facility directly from the harbour.

The harbour offers toilets, a water point, waste disposal and pump-out for holding tanks, as well as a restaurant with a terrace and an ice-cream kiosk. Short-term parking (up to 2 hours) is available at the harbour for loading and unloading, while longer-term parking is at the car park by Kantola park.

The harbour lies close to Hämeenlinna's city centre by Lake Vanajavesi and is developing into a pleasant destination with a restaurant, ice-cream kiosk and kayak and SUP rental. Tie up at one of the piers and step ashore straight to the restaurant terrace or a walk into town.
