Boat trip for coach groups – a smooth part of your group tour
A boat trip is a much-appreciated part of a coach tour because it gives the group a clear highlight during the day. You can leave the road behind, step on board and experience the coast, sea, islands, cliffs, birdlife and stories from the Bohuslän archipelago up close.
For tour operators and coach companies, the itinerary is easy to integrate into an existing programme. We help with practical details such as departure point, times, route, group size, possible food or coffee, and suggestions for how the boat trip can be combined with other places to visit in the area.
Our boat trips are especially suitable for:
- coach groups on a day trip in Bohuslän
- travel groups visiting Strömstad, the Koster Islands, Grebbestad or Fjällbacka
- associations and senior groups
- corporate groups and conference trips
- school groups and educational trips
- international groups who want to experience the Swedish West Coast
- private groups who want to book their own archipelago experience
Popular itineraries for groups tours
Selin Charter offers group tours in some of the most appreciated archipelago environments on the Swedish West Coast. Depending on weather, group size and preferred itinerary, the tour can be adapted to different destinations and routes.
Boat trip to the Alaska Garden on Nord-Långö
The Alaska Garden is one of Strömstad’s most unique places to visit and is very suitable for coach groups who want to combine cultural history, nature and the archipelago. The tour goes by boat to Nord-Långö, where the group can visit the distinctive stone and flower garden created by Hilma Svedahl.
This itinerary is especially suitable for groups looking for a calm, storytelling-based and accessible excursion with a clear local connection. The boat trip can be combined with guiding, a walk, coffee or free time in the area.
Group tour to the Koster Islands and Kosterhavet
The Koster Islands are one of Bohuslän’s most well-known destinations and a strong choice for coach groups who want to experience the archipelago, nature and marine environments in Sweden’s first marine national park. A boat trip towards Sydkoster, Nordkoster or through Kosterhavet allows the group to see the area from the sea while getting a clear sense of the archipelago landscape.
This itinerary is suitable for groups who want to combine a boat trip with a walk, a visit to Naturum Kosterhavet, lunch, swimming, nature experiences or a longer day excursion.
Seal safari to Ursholmen via the Koster Islands
For groups looking for a more experience-based tour, a seal safari towards Ursholmen is a strong option. The tour passes through the Kosterhavet archipelago and continues towards the outer archipelago, where there is a chance to see seals in their natural environment.
As these are wild animals, sightings can never be guaranteed, but that is also what makes the experience genuine. The tour is especially suitable for nature-focused groups, family groups, associations and tour operators who want to offer something beyond a traditional round trip.
Archipelago tour from Grebbestad and Tanumstrand towards the Fjällbacka archipelago
For coach groups located further south in northern Bohuslän, a boat trip from Grebbestad or Tanumstrand can be an excellent option. Here, the group can experience the Fjällbacka archipelago, Grebbestad’s coastal environments, islands, cliffs and the classic West Coast feeling from the sea.
The tour can be part of a day excursion to Grebbestad, Tanumstrand, Fjällbacka or Hamburgsund and can be combined with lunch, coffee or another programme in the area.
Why Selin Charter is a good choice for coach groups
Booking a boat trip for a larger group requires more than transport. It needs to be simple for the organiser, safe for the participants and memorable for the whole group. Selin Charter has long experience of welcoming groups to the Bohuslän archipelago and helps you create an itinerary that works both practically and experientially.
With us, you get:
- tailored boat trips based on your group’s schedule and wishes

Most common departure points for groups
Selin Charter helps you choose the right boat based on group size, season, departure point, route and type of arrangement. Our boats each have their own character and are therefore suitable for different types of group tours – from smaller private groups and personal customer events to larger coach groups, associations and group days in the Bohuslän archipelago.
Strömstad
Perfect for Kosterhavet, the Koster Islands and the Alaska Garden
Strömstad is one of the most natural departure points for coach groups who want to experience Kosterhavet, the Koster Islands and the Strömstad archipelago. From here, the group can easily combine a boat trip with a visit to the town, lunch, guiding or continued travel along northern Bohuslän.
From Strömstad, it is especially suitable to plan tours towards Sydkoster, Nordkoster, Naturum Kosterhavet, Ursholmen, Ramsö, Tjärnö, Rossö and the Alaska Garden on Nord-Långö. For groups who want a clear archipelago experience without too much travel time, Strömstad is a very good option.
This is especially suitable for coach groups, tour operators, school classes, senior groups and associations who want to experience Kosterhavet National Park, visit the Koster Islands or take a guided boat trip in the Strömstad archipelago.
Ekenäs on Sydkoster
For groups who want to experience the Koster Islands up close
Ekenäs on Sydkoster is a good place for groups who already have the Koster Islands as the main destination for their excursion. Here, the boat trip can be combined with walks, nature experiences, a visit to Naturum Kosterhavet, swimming, coffee, lunch or free time on the island.
For school classes and educational groups, Ekenäs is especially relevant because Naturum Kosterhavet is located on Sydkoster and offers the opportunity to learn more about the marine environment, the national park, wildlife and life below the surface. For senior groups, associations and nature-focused groups, Sydkoster is also a good choice thanks to its clear archipelago atmosphere and the opportunity to combine the boat trip with experiences ashore.
From Ekenäs, the tour can be connected onwards towards Nordkoster, Ursholmen, the outer archipelago of Kosterhavet, Långagärde, Västra Bryggan and other parts of the Koster Islands depending on the itinerary, weather and season.
Resö harbour
A nature-focused departure point towards Kosterhavet and northern Bohuslän
Resö is a strong option for coach groups located between Strömstad, Tanum, Grebbestad and northern Bohuslän. From here, the group gets a more nature-focused start to the boat trip, with proximity to Kosterhavet, the archipelago and several smaller coastal communities.
From Resö harbour or Kyrkvikens Camping on Resö, tours can be planned towards Kosterhavet, Ursholmen, Sydkoster, Nordkoster, Tjärnö, Rossö, Galtö and other parts of the northern Bohuslän archipelago. Departing from Resö is especially suitable for groups who want to avoid a more urban starting point and instead get closer to the archipelago environment right away.
This is a good itinerary for outdoor associations, nature groups, school classes, senior groups and coach tours where the archipelago and nature experience are at the centre.
Grebbestad
For archipelago tours towards Fjällbacka, Tanumstrand and the Väderöarna Islands
Grebbestad is a very good departure point for coach groups who want to experience the southern part of northern Bohuslän. From here, the group can enjoy a classic West Coast experience with archipelago scenery, cliffs, coastal communities, marine environments and proximity to several well-known destinations.
From Grebbestad, tours can be planned towards Tanumstrand, the Fjällbacka archipelago, Hamburgsund, Dannholmen, Florön, Hjärterön and, with the right itinerary and conditions, onwards towards the Väderöarna Islands. This makes Grebbestad especially interesting for coach groups who want to combine the boat trip with other places to visit in Tanum, Fjällbacka or along the coast.
Grebbestad is well suited for tour operators, senior groups, associations, corporate groups and private parties who want to experience Bohuslän from the sea while staying close to restaurants, accommodation and other activities in the area.
Fjällbacka & Hamburgsund
For groups who want to experience classic Bohuslän archipelago scenery
For coach groups who want to experience the classic Bohuslän archipelago further south, Fjällbacka and Hamburgsund can be interesting areas to depart from or include in the route planning. Here, there is proximity to well-known islands, coastal communities and archipelago environments that give the group a strong sense of Bohuslän from the sea.
Around Fjällbacka and Hamburgsund, tours can be connected to destinations such as Dannholmen, Florön, Hjärterön, the Väderöarna Islands, the Hamburgsund archipelago and the coastal stretch towards Grebbestad and Tanumstrand. The area is especially suitable for groups who want to combine a boat trip with culture, coastal villages, nature experiences and local stories.
This is a strong option for tour operators, associations, senior groups and private parties who want to create a more content-rich day excursion along the Bohuslän coast.
Boat trips for different types of groups
Every group has different needs, pace and purpose for its trip. That is why we adapt our boat tours according to the type of group, season, schedule and desired experience. A coach group may want a smooth stop with guiding and coffee, while a school class may want to combine the boat trip with learning about the sea, nature and the marine environment of Kosterhavet.
School classes and
educational trips
For school classes, a boat trip to Kosterhavet can become an educational full-day excursion where students get to experience Sweden’s first marine national park up close. The tour can, for example, be combined with a visit to Naturum Kosterhavet on Sydkoster, where students can learn more about marine ecosystems, wildlife, seals, fish, seaweed forests and the unique marine environment of Kosterhavet.
This is especially suitable for schools that want to create a hands-on nature and environmental experience connected to biology, sustainability, marine environments, geography or outdoor education. Selin Charter helps with the boat trip, logistics and an itinerary that works for the group’s age, size and schedule.
Senior groups and
pensioners’ associations
For senior groups and pensioners’ associations, we can create calm, safe and accessible archipelago tours focusing on beautiful views, local history, a comfortable pace and the possibility of coffee or a lighter lunch. Popular itineraries include tours to the Alaska Garden, the Koster Islands, Kosterhavet or a shorter round trip in the Strömstad archipelago.
We are happy to adapt the tour to the group’s needs, accessibility, boarding, breaks and preferred length of the excursion.
Outdoor associations and
nature-focused groups
For outdoor associations, nature groups and groups interested in the coast, sea and wildlife, a boat trip in Kosterhavet can offer a strong nature experience from the sea. The tour can focus on archipelago environments, birdlife, seals, the national park, islands, cliffs and stories about the area’s natural values.
This is a good option for groups who want to combine a boat trip with hiking, a visit to Sydkoster or Nordkoster, a seal safari, guiding or a day excursion in the Bohuslän archipelago.
Yoga groups, retreats and
peaceful experiences
For yoga groups, retreat groups and smaller parties looking for calm, nature and presence, we can create a peaceful boat trip in the archipelago with a focus on the sea, the islands and the relaxing surroundings. A boat trip can become part of a larger retreat programme on the West Coast or a standalone experience for the group.
The itinerary can be adapted with shorter tours, secluded destinations, sunset tours, picnics, coffee or time ashore depending on the group’s preferences.
Associations, clubs and
private groups
We also welcome associations, clubs, groups of friends, family groups and other private parties who want to book their own boat trip in Bohuslän. This could be anything from an anniversary trip or association outing to a private archipelago tour with food, guiding or a special stop along the coast.
Tell us what type of group you are, roughly how many people you will be and what you would like to experience, and we will help you create a suitable itinerary.
Camping guests, holiday groups and tourists near Strömstad
For groups staying or gathering at Daftö, Lagunen, Seläter, First Camp City Strömstad or other camping sites and accommodation facilities near Strömstad, a boat trip can be a convenient activity during the stay. It is especially suitable for family groups, school groups, associations, holidaymakers and larger parties who want to experience the sea without having to plan a complicated excursion.
The boat trip can be arranged as a day activity focusing on Kosterhavet, the Koster Islands or the Strömstad archipelago. Depending on the group’s wishes, the tour can be combined with a seal safari, archipelago guiding, swimming, coffee, a visit to the Koster Islands or a shorter round trip among islands, islets and skerries.
For coach groups and larger parties staying overnight in the area, we can help find a practical solution where the boat trip is adapted to the accommodation, schedule, suitable harbour, route and group size.
Why book a boat trip for your group?
A boat trip is a much-appreciated part of a group tour because it gives the journey a clear highlight and lets participants experience Bohuslän from the sea. On board, the group shares an experience with archipelago scenery, coastal environments, islands, guiding and the possibility of coffee, lunch or a tailored stop along the way.
It is especially suitable for groups who want to:
- create a memorable day excursion in Bohuslän

Most common departure points for groups
Selin Charter helps you choose the right boat based on group size, season, departure point, route and type of arrangement.

Strömstad
Perfect for Kosterhavet, the Koster Islands and the Alaska Garden
Strömstad is one of the most natural departure points for coach groups who want to experience Kosterhavet, the Koster Islands and the Strömstad archipelago. From here, the group can easily combine a boat trip with a visit to the town, lunch, guiding or continued travel along northern Bohuslän.
From Strömstad, it is especially suitable to plan tours towards Sydkoster, Nordkoster, Naturum Kosterhavet, Ursholmen, Ramsö, Tjärnö, Rossö and the Alaska Garden on Nord-Långö. For groups who want a clear archipelago experience without too much travel time, Strömstad is a very good option.
This is especially suitable for coach groups, tour operators, school classes, senior groups and associations who want to experience Kosterhavet National Park, visit the Koster Islands or take a guided boat trip in the Strömstad archipelago.
Ekenäs on Sydkoster
For groups who want to experience the Koster Islands up close
Ekenäs on Sydkoster is a good place for groups who already have the Koster Islands as the main destination for their excursion. Here, the boat trip can be combined with walks, nature experiences, a visit to Naturum Kosterhavet, swimming, coffee, lunch or free time on the island.
For school classes and educational groups, Ekenäs is especially relevant because Naturum Kosterhavet is located on Sydkoster and offers the opportunity to learn more about the marine environment, the national park, wildlife and life below the surface. For senior groups, associations and nature-focused groups, Sydkoster is also a good choice thanks to its clear archipelago atmosphere and the opportunity to combine the boat trip with experiences ashore.
From Ekenäs, the tour can be connected onwards towards Nordkoster, Ursholmen, the outer archipelago of Kosterhavet, Långagärde, Västra Bryggan and other parts of the Koster Islands depending on the itinerary, weather and season.
Resö harbour
A nature-focused departure point towards Kosterhavet and northern Bohuslän
Resö is a strong option for coach groups located between Strömstad, Tanum, Grebbestad and northern Bohuslän. From here, the group gets a more nature-focused start to the boat trip, with proximity to Kosterhavet, the archipelago and several smaller coastal communities.
From Resö harbour or Kyrkvikens Camping on Resö, tours can be planned towards Kosterhavet, Ursholmen, Sydkoster, Nordkoster, Tjärnö, Rossö, Galtö and other parts of the northern Bohuslän archipelago. Departing from Resö is especially suitable for groups who want to avoid a more urban starting point and instead get closer to the archipelago environment right away.
This is a good itinerary for outdoor associations, nature groups, school classes, senior groups and coach tours where the archipelago and nature experience are at the centre.
Grebbestad
For archipelago tours towards Fjällbacka, Tanumstrand and the Väderöarna Islands
Grebbestad is a very good departure point for coach groups who want to experience the southern part of northern Bohuslän. From here, the group can enjoy a classic West Coast experience with archipelago scenery, cliffs, coastal communities, marine environments and proximity to several well-known destinations.
From Grebbestad, tours can be planned towards Tanumstrand, the Fjällbacka archipelago, Hamburgsund, Dannholmen, Florön, Hjärterön and, with the right itinerary and conditions, onwards towards the Väderöarna Islands. This makes Grebbestad especially interesting for coach groups who want to combine the boat trip with other places to visit in Tanum, Fjällbacka or along the coast.
Grebbestad is well suited for tour operators, senior groups, associations, corporate groups and private parties who want to experience Bohuslän from the sea while staying close to restaurants, accommodation and other activities in the area.
Fjällbacka & Hamburgsund
For groups who want to experience classic Bohuslän archipelago scenery
For coach groups who want to experience the classic Bohuslän archipelago further south, Fjällbacka and Hamburgsund can be interesting areas to depart from or include in the route planning. Here, there is proximity to well-known islands, coastal communities and archipelago environments that give the group a strong sense of Bohuslän from the sea.
Around Fjällbacka and Hamburgsund, tours can be connected to destinations such as Dannholmen, Florön, Hjärterön, the Väderöarna Islands, the Hamburgsund archipelago and the coastal stretch towards Grebbestad and Tanumstrand. The area is especially suitable for groups who want to combine a boat trip with culture, coastal villages, nature experiences and local stories.
This is a strong option for tour operators, associations, senior groups and private parties who want to create a more content-rich day excursion along the Bohuslän coast.
Boat trips for different types of groups
Every group has different needs, pace and purpose for its trip. That is why we adapt our boat tours according to the type of group, season, schedule and desired experience. A coach group may want a smooth stop with guiding and coffee, while a school class may want to combine the boat trip with learning about the sea, nature and the marine environment of Kosterhavet.
School classes and
educational trips
For school classes, a boat trip to Kosterhavet can become an educational full-day excursion where students get to experience Sweden’s first marine national park up close. The tour can, for example, be combined with a visit to Naturum Kosterhavet on Sydkoster, where students can learn more about marine ecosystems, wildlife, seals, fish, seaweed forests and the unique marine environment of Kosterhavet.
This is especially suitable for schools that want to create a hands-on nature and environmental experience connected to biology, sustainability, marine environments, geography or outdoor education. Selin Charter helps with the boat trip, logistics and an itinerary that works for the group’s age, size and schedule.
Senior groups and
pensioners’ associations
For senior groups and pensioners’ associations, we can create calm, safe and accessible archipelago tours focusing on beautiful views, local history, a comfortable pace and the possibility of coffee or a lighter lunch. Popular itineraries include tours to the Alaska Garden, the Koster Islands, Kosterhavet or a shorter round trip in the Strömstad archipelago.
We are happy to adapt the tour to the group’s needs, accessibility, boarding, breaks and preferred length of the excursion.
Outdoor associations and
nature-focused groups
For outdoor associations, nature groups and groups interested in the coast, sea and wildlife, a boat trip in Kosterhavet can offer a strong nature experience from the sea. The tour can focus on archipelago environments, birdlife, seals, the national park, islands, cliffs and stories about the area’s natural values.
This is a good option for groups who want to combine a boat trip with hiking, a visit to Sydkoster or Nordkoster, a seal safari, guiding or a day excursion in the Bohuslän archipelago.
Yoga groups, retreats and
peaceful experiences
For yoga groups, retreat groups and smaller parties looking for calm, nature and presence, we can create a peaceful boat trip in the archipelago with a focus on the sea, the islands and the relaxing surroundings. A boat trip can become part of a larger retreat programme on the West Coast or a standalone experience for the group.
The itinerary can be adapted with shorter tours, secluded destinations, sunset tours, picnics, coffee or time ashore depending on the group’s preferences.
Associations, clubs and
private groups
We also welcome associations, clubs, groups of friends, family groups and other private parties who want to book their own boat trip in Bohuslän. This could be anything from an anniversary trip or association outing to a private archipelago tour with food, guiding or a special stop along the coast.
Tell us what type of group you are, roughly how many people you will be and what you would like to experience, and we will help you create a suitable itinerary.
Camping guests, holiday groups and tourists near Strömstad
For groups staying or gathering at Daftö, Lagunen, Seläter, First Camp City Strömstad or other camping sites and accommodation facilities near Strömstad, a boat trip can be a convenient activity during the stay. It is especially suitable for family groups, school groups, associations, holidaymakers and larger parties who want to experience the sea without having to plan a complicated excursion.
The boat trip can be arranged as a day activity focusing on Kosterhavet, the Koster Islands or the Strömstad archipelago. Depending on the group’s wishes, the tour can be combined with a seal safari, archipelago guiding, swimming, coffee, a visit to the Koster Islands or a shorter round trip among islands, islets and skerries.
For coach groups and larger parties staying overnight in the area, we can help find a practical solution where the boat trip is adapted to the accommodation, schedule, suitable harbour, route and group size.
Why book a boat trip for your group?
A boat trip is a much-appreciated part of a group tour because it gives the journey a clear highlight and lets participants experience Bohuslän from the sea. On board, the group shares an experience with archipelago scenery, coastal environments, islands, guiding and the possibility of coffee, lunch or a tailored stop along the way.
It is especially suitable for groups who want to:

Boat trips for different types of groups
Every group has different needs, pace and purpose for its trip. That is why we adapt our boat tours according to the type of group, season, schedule and desired experience. A coach group may want a smooth stop with guiding and coffee, while a school class may want to combine the boat trip with learning about the sea, nature and the marine environment of Kosterhavet.
School classes and
educational trips
For school classes, a boat trip to Kosterhavet can become an educational full-day excursion where students get to experience Sweden’s first marine national park up close. The tour can, for example, be combined with a visit to Naturum Kosterhavet on Sydkoster, where students can learn more about marine ecosystems, wildlife, seals, fish, seaweed forests and the unique marine environment of Kosterhavet.
This is especially suitable for schools that want to create a hands-on nature and environmental experience connected to biology, sustainability, marine environments, geography or outdoor education. Selin Charter helps with the boat trip, logistics and an itinerary that works for the group’s age, size and schedule.
Senior groups and
pensioners’ associations
For senior groups and pensioners’ associations, we can create calm, safe and accessible archipelago tours focusing on beautiful views, local history, a comfortable pace and the possibility of coffee or a lighter lunch. Popular itineraries include tours to the Alaska Garden, the Koster Islands, Kosterhavet or a shorter round trip in the Strömstad archipelago.
We are happy to adapt the tour to the group’s needs, accessibility, boarding, breaks and preferred length of the excursion.
Outdoor associations and
nature-focused groups
For outdoor associations, nature groups and groups interested in the coast, sea and wildlife, a boat trip in Kosterhavet can offer a strong nature experience from the sea. The tour can focus on archipelago environments, birdlife, seals, the national park, islands, cliffs and stories about the area’s natural values.
This is a good option for groups who want to combine a boat trip with hiking, a visit to Sydkoster or Nordkoster, a seal safari, guiding or a day excursion in the Bohuslän archipelago.
Yoga groups, retreats and
peaceful experiences
For yoga groups, retreat groups and smaller parties looking for calm, nature and presence, we can create a peaceful boat trip in the archipelago with a focus on the sea, the islands and the relaxing surroundings. A boat trip can become part of a larger retreat programme on the West Coast or a standalone experience for the group.
The itinerary can be adapted with shorter tours, secluded destinations, sunset tours, picnics, coffee or time ashore depending on the group’s preferences.
Associations, clubs and
private groups
We also welcome associations, clubs, groups of friends, family groups and other private parties who want to book their own boat trip in Bohuslän. This could be anything from an anniversary trip or association outing to a private archipelago tour with food, guiding or a special stop along the coast.
Tell us what type of group you are, roughly how many people you will be and what you would like to experience, and we will help you create a suitable itinerary.
Camping guests, holiday groups and tourists near Strömstad
For groups staying or gathering at Daftö, Lagunen, Seläter, First Camp City Strömstad or other camping sites and accommodation facilities near Strömstad, a boat trip can be a convenient activity during the stay.

The boat trip can be arranged as a day activity focusing on Kosterhavet, the Koster Islands or the Strömstad archipelago. Depending on the group’s wishes, the tour can be combined with a seal safari, archipelago guiding, swimming, coffee, a visit to the Koster Islands or a shorter round trip among islands, islets and skerries.
For coach groups and larger parties staying overnight in the area, we can help find a practical solution where the boat trip is adapted to the accommodation, schedule, suitable harbour, route and group size.
Why book a boat trip for your group?
A boat trip is a much-appreciated part of a group tour because it gives the journey a clear highlight and lets participants experience Bohuslän from the sea. On board, the group shares an experience with archipelago scenery, coastal environments, islands, guiding and the possibility of coffee, lunch or a tailored stop along the way.
It is especially suitable for groups who want to:
- create a memorable day excursion in Bohuslän

For yoga groups, retreat groups and smaller parties looking for calm, nature and presence, we can create a peaceful boat trip in the archipelago with a focus on the sea, the islands and the relaxing surroundings. A boat trip can become part of a larger retreat programme on the West Coast or a standalone experience for the group.
The itinerary can be adapted with shorter tours, secluded destinations, sunset tours, picnics, coffee or time ashore depending on the group’s preferences.
Associations, clubs and
private groups
We also welcome associations, clubs, groups of friends, family groups and other private parties who want to book their own boat trip in Bohuslän. This could be anything from an anniversary trip or association outing to a private archipelago tour with food, guiding or a special stop along the coast.
Tell us what type of group you are, roughly how many people you will be and what you would like to experience, and we will help you create a suitable itinerary.

Why book a boat trip for your group?
A boat trip is a much-appreciated part of a group tour because it gives the journey a clear highlight and lets participants experience Bohuslän from the sea. On board, the group shares an experience with archipelago scenery, coastal environments, islands, guiding and the possibility of coffee, lunch or a tailored stop along the way.
It is especially suitable for groups who want to:
- create a memorable day excursion in Bohuslän
- combine a coach trip with a boat tour, guiding and food
- visit the Koster Islands, Kosterhavet, Alaska, Ursholmen or the Fjällbacka archipelago
- plan a safe and convenient activity for senior groups or associations
- give school classes an educational experience connected to the sea, nature and the marine environment
- offer travel groups a genuine West Coast experience from Strömstad, Resö, Grebbestad or Tanumstrand
With Selin Charter, the boat trip is not just transport – it becomes an experience that connects the group tour, the destination and the archipelago.
