Long-distance motorcycle rider with touring panniers heading north on Sweden's E4 highway through Höga Kusten (High Coast), red granite cliffs and blue fjord visible, safe overnight stopover at Docksta Havet

Höga Kusten from the E4. If you’ve got 2–4 hours, I’ll point you to a quick outdoor mini‑adventure before you ride on.

I'm Tommaso. I run Docksta Havet, right off the E4 in Sweden's High Coast (Höga Kusten).

If you're riding north, you know the moment: it's late, the weather flips, your gloves are damp… and you ask yourself:

"Do I really want to pitch the tent tonight?"

If the answer is "not really", you're my kind of guest.

This page is written for riders (and minimalist road‑trippers in car/tent mode) who want a simple, safe, human stop — not a generic motel and not a free toilet stop on a parking area along the highway.

(Heading south? Same stop, same comfort.)

 

What this stop is

This is:

  • A calm base camp for you + your motorbike + your gear

  • A hot shower + dry reset before the next stretch

  • A minimalist (but charming) Boathouse literally over the water

  • A 2–4 hour outdoor plan (optional) so you actually feel the High Coast

  • A human host: you talk to me (no reception desk)

This is not: a generic motel, and not a "free toilet stop" on a highway parking area.

 

The core offer: the Boathouse (keep it simple)

Boathouse (solo riders + practical couples)

Minimalist room over the water. Direct access to the dock and private beach.And a small detail that matters when you're travelling: bed linens are included, and your bed is already made when you arrive.

Arrive → park safely → shower → sleep → ride.

Price: 350 SEK/person (700 SEK for 2)

Included:

  • Safe parking for motorbike + helmet/jacket/bags

  • Toilet & hot shower + clean facilities (maintained daily)

  • Free espresso at the Sailor's Club House

  • Free Wi‑Fi at the Sailor’s Club House

  • Flexible check‑in (self check‑in available if your ETA is uncertain)

  • Card payments (easy, fast) + Swish

Optional add‑ons (only if you want them)

  • Kitchenette access (optional)

    If you want to prep your own meal or fuel up for the road ahead, you can use a dedicated kitchenette for Boathouse guests at the Club House.

    50 SEK/day

  • Bike rental (Grab&Go) — no deposit

    Leave your motorbike parked and explore the High Coast on two wheels.

    starting 150 SEK/day

    No deposit

    No booking needed (first come, first served)

    Pay by card/Swish

  • Simple gear kit (Grab&Go)

    Daypack, water bottles, poles — the small essentials that make a quick outdoor hit easy.

    80–120 SEK depending on what you take

Your custom 2–4 hour outdoor plan (included)

Tell me:

  • how much time you have (2 / 3 / 4 hours)

  • weather (sun / rain / windy)

  • vibe (chill viewpoint or proper sweat)

I'll reply with a plan you can follow on the road:

  • where to go

  • how long

  • what to bring

  • parking + what to expect

 

Why riders choose the Boathouse (even with a tent on the bike)

Because it's not "luxury". It's strategy.

  • You don't set up camp in wind/rain/dark

  • You don't pack a wet tent in the morning

  • You start the next day dry + rested

  • And you get a night that feels like a story, not a chore

Sleeping over the water does that.

 

The practical stuff that actually matters

  • Safe parking: covered, calm, secure

  • Gear drying: space for wet jacket/gloves/gear

  • Resupply: ICA supermarket is a 5‑minute walk across the E4

  • Recovery: Baltic Sea swim (optional) + hot shower (highly recommended)

  • Human host: you'll talk to me, not a reception desk

 

The High Coast hit (optional, 2–4 hours)

If you want to turn your stop into a real High Coast memory:

  • Skuleberget viewpoint: fast payoff, fjord views, "wow Sweden" moment

  • Skuleskogen National Park: a proper half‑day loop with iconic granite + archipelago views

  • Bike loop: if you rent a bike, I'll suggest the best 2–4 hour loop for today's conditions

No overplanning. Just a clean plan that fits your window.

When you message or book, tell me your time window and your vibe.

I'll send you a simple plan you can follow without wasting time deciding.
