30 May 2026 - Marstrand, Sweden

Join Us for an information packed Bluewater Day in Marstrand, Sweden

Hosted at the Pantaenius Building in the heart of Sweden’s sailing centre, our Bluewater Day brings together expert companies and experienced sailors, making it easy for you to ask questions and get hands-on advice to prepare for your next adventure.

If you’re thinking about sailing the Atlantic or circumnavigating the globe, this is the day for you. Meet fellow sailors, talk with seasoned cruisers, tour ARC-ready bluewater yachts, and learn directly from the experts.

Whether you’re preparing to set sail in 2026, planning future adventures, or have previously sailed in an ARC, ARC+, ARC Europe, or World ARC rally, we’d love to welcome you to our Swedish Bluewater Day.

The day will conclude with a special evening dinner, giving you a relaxed opportunity to connect further with fellow sailors and experts (see information regarding the dinner below).

This relaxed and informative open day is designed to guide everyone along their journey - whether you already own your dream boat or are still in the dreaming stage. Chat with specialists, meet ARC skippers, and mingle with fellow aspiring bluewater cruisers. Our experts and skippers will share their knowledge, top tips, and practical ideas on all aspects of bluewater cruising.
