Andante was built at the Storebro boat yard in 1978.
The boat has been used in several famous photo shoots during ABBA’s heyday. Since then, it has been extensively used and over the years has become a celebrity of the archipelago, recognized by many for its beautiful lines and classic style.
Andante has been meticulously renovated and is in excellent condition both inside and out.
She can travel at 25 knots to Sandhamn in 1 hour and 40 minutes, or to Grinda and Viggsö in under 1 hour. She will safely and stylishly take you to dinner, parties, or business meetings.
Gather your friends, family, or business associates for a trip
Gather your friends, family, or business associates for a leisurely trip where you can enjoy the Stockholm archipelago with some snacks and a glass of sparkling wine.
We can make stops, lower the bathing ladder, and let those who want to jump in and swim. Or why not just lie on the aft deck and sunbathe. We can offer catering on board, or we can set up a picnic on a cliff. Alternatively, let us make a reservation at one of the delightful restaurants on Sandhamn, Grinda, Svartsjö, Utö, or Finnhamn.
Andante is wonderful for groups of up to 8 people.
Our experienced captain knows many wonderful sea routes and can show you the best the archipelago has to offer. Feel the first rays of sunshine on a crisp spring trip, enjoy sun and swimming among lush islands during midsummer, or experience Andante early in the autumn when the orange leaves illuminate the archipelago. A day on Andante is guaranteed to be an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
Charter Andante for a birthday celebration, work conference, business meeting, family reunion, or simply because you’re a true ABBA fan.
