Mattias Wallin is a committed Stockholmer whose home waters are the archipelago and whose love for the life shaped there over centuries runs deep. He guides in Swedish and English and offers something few can match: authentic insider knowledge of the Stockholm archipelago — the islands, the people, the nature and the Swedish art of spending summer the right way.
With the boat as his vehicle and the rhythm of the archipelago as his frame, his tours are more than guiding — they are an invitation to experience Sweden the way Swedes do.
With more than 50 years of sailing and exploring the archipelago behind me, every tour is shaped by a whole life at sea.
Mattias doesn't offer a tourist version of the archipelago — he offers the real one. Through his understanding of how Swedes live, holiday and move across these waters, he creates an authenticity that's hard to find anywhere else. It's the stillness, the people and the elusive qualities that make guests want to come back.

Engaged, flexible and inspiring. Mattias' aim is not to deliver facts — it is to awaken curiosity. He wants guests to leave the tour with new perspectives and a feeling that lingers. The style is relaxed and personal, shaped by genuine passion for place and people.
Guests often point to the whole — the places, the boats and the sense of adventure. It isn't just a tour; it is an experience you help shape. Mattias' local knowledge and his ability to navigate between islands, restaurants and hidden natural spots create a confidence that lets guests relax and be present.
