Why renting a boat is such a good idea vs. owning your own

  • 1. No Large Upfront Investment

    Buying a new motorboat that fits 5 crew members with a 40 HP engine can easily cost 180000 to 250000 SEK.

    The boat is the bottom (or top) of the iceberg. You’ll also need to invest in:
    - Trailer
    - Insurance
    - Safety gear
    - Plotter
    - Mooring equipment

    When you rent a boat in Nynäshamn, you pay only for the days you actually use it.

    No capital tied up. No loans :)

  • 2. No Winter Storage or Docking Fees

    Boat ownership in Stockholm/Sweden often means:
    - Marina/Båtklubb membership
    - Winter storage
    - Launching and hauling
    - If båtklubb membership, 2 or more days/nights of vakt, community work…

    These annual costs quickly add up to tens of thousands of kronor.

    With boat rental in the Stockholm archipelago, you simply return the boat after your day at sea.

    No storage. No winter logistics.

  • 3. No Maintenance or Repairs

    Engines need service.
    Batteries fail.
    Electronics break.
    Gelcoat gets scratched.

    Owning a boat means ongoing maintenance and unexpected repair costs.

    Renting means that we handle:
    - Engine service
    - Safety checks
    - Equipment replacement
    - Cleaning and preparation

    You just enjoy your day(s) on the water!

  • 4. No Depreciation

    Boats lose value every year.

    Even well-maintained boats depreciate.
    Especially when new models are released.

    When renting a motorboat in Nynäshamn, depreciation is not your concern.

    You enjoy a modern, well-maintained boat without worrying about resale value.

  • 5. Flexibility

    Ownership locks you into:
    - One boat
    - One location
    - One size

    Renting gives you flexibility:
    - Choose the days with good weather
    - Upgrade or change type over time
    - No obligation to use it “just because you own it”

    You go boating when it suits you.

  • 6. Try Before You Buy

    Thinking about owning a boat in the future?

    Renting is the best way to test:
    - Is boating something you’ll do 5 times a year or 20?
    - Do you really want the responsibility?
    - What boat size actually fits your needs?

    Boat rental in Nynäshamn is a low-risk way to explore.

  • 7. Access to the Best Parts of the Archipelago

    From Nynäshamn you reach:

    - Järflotta’s granite cliffs and beaches
    - Yttre Gården’s outer sea
