“We took the boat to my first Swedish Midsommer party ever. It was a fantastic trip with a group of fantastic people, and the boat was the perfect icing on the cake. Went back to the boat with my husband and friends at 4 AM, and slept like a baby. The comfort level of the boat and the beds are just perfect. And then we sailed back to Stockholm the next day. Also a perfect way to experience Swedens beautiful coast lines.”
