Sailor's shore base choice: Höga Kusten waterfront accommodations

The best stories about our holiday rentals come from those who know the High Coast from both perspectives - as sailors and as land explorers. Here's what happens when our maritime guests discover the comfort of solid ground while keeping their connection to the sea:

Stories from shore: when sailors stay longer

The Runner's Tale: “After many summers mooring in Docksta, we finally tried the guest apartment of the marina during a longer weekend for the Höga Kusten Trail running race. Having a comfortable base for the challenge, one of us ran the 43k, the other the Twin Peaks distances - was a brilliant choice - especially when we could watch the amazing view of the fjord from the panoramic bed over the empty moorings the morning after our runs, looking out over the peaceful autumn moorings.” Henrik and Eva, 🇫🇮 S/Y Merituuli | Regular summer sailor guests and now #HighCoastRunner members

 

The Maintenance Break Discovery: "The Boathouse became our temporary home while our 34' yacht waited in Hudiksvall for engine maintenance. We reached the marina by bus and found our waterside accommodation perfect as a base for three days of High Coast exploration. From here, we conquered the Via Ferrata at Skuleberget and hiked the National Park trails - all while the sound of waves beneath the floorboards kept our sailing spirit alive, even on land." Jens and Marie, 🇩🇪 S/Y Nordlicht | World Heritage Explorers & Archipelago Adventure finishers

 

The Return Journey: “We first discovered Docksta by boat while sailing from Stockholm a few summers ago. This early spring, we returned with friends, staying in the Guest and Dock Houses for a hiking adventure. Experiencing the High Coast both by sea and by land made us appreciate this UNESCO heritage in entirely new ways." The Bergman family, 🇸🇪 S/Y Vindöga | Stockholm archipelago sailors

💻 Work & Nature: A Different Kind of Office 🌲

 

You know what's becoming quite special here at the marina? Seeing sailors discovering a new way to blend work and adventure. Just last summer, I met a German skipper from Stockholm who turned his Sailor's Club House morning calls into afternoon hikes at Skuleberget. Our free WiFi and espresso coffee have become a bit of a legend among remote workers - there's something about joining a video meeting with mountains rising behind you that makes work feel different. Some guests even make the most of our Skogspaus concept between tasks - nothing beats a hammock break in the forest to refresh your mind! Whether you're a digital nomad looking for a unique workspace or a team wanting to combine strategy sessions with sailing, these unique waters and trails create a pretty special office setup. It's amazing to see how the High Coast's rising landscape can lift both boats and creative thinking.
