Nordic Sea Taxi
Our ambition is to offer safe and comfortable transportation in the archipelago, both for people and goods, thereby making it accessible to more people.
Most of you will meet us on one of our passenger boats, either during scheduled cruises when we operate fixed routes in the archipelago, or when you book a sea taxi with us and decide where the trip should go. Others of you might want goods delivered to the summer cottage or some other sea-related job done.
