The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for couples or small families. The Sigrid is an excellent choice if you're looking for a relaxed, eco-conscious boat experience on Sweden's inland waterways, ideal for groups of 4, 6 rather than maxing out all 8 berths. The 2021 build means you're getting modern, well-maintained kit without premium pricing.
Electric drive stands out. This is genuinely rare in charter fleets and a huge selling point if you care about environmental impact or want whisper-quiet cruising through Sweden's beautiful canal systems. You'll notice the difference in fuel costs and operational feel compared to traditional diesel motors.
Solid value proposition. At €1,495/week with a modest €1,000 deposit, you're getting a newer vessel with practical essentials (chart plotter, bow thruster, swimming platform) at an accessible price point. For a week's Swedish canal exploration, this is fair.
Range limitation worth noting. Electric propulsion means you'll want to plan charging stops into your itinerary, this isn't a boat for spontaneous long-distance days. If you're comfortable with a slower pace and familiar with Sweden's canal infrastructure, it's perfect; if you prefer flexibility and range, confirm the daily mileage expectations with Gota Kanal Charter before booking.
