Fordewind Entreprenad Ab

What Fordewind Entreprenad Ab does

Fordewind Entreprenad AB operates the Fordewind Sailing brand, providing captained sailing yacht charters targeting individual tourists and leisure travelers. The company owns a 35-foot (10.5 m) Dehler 34 sailing yacht registered as a commercial charter vessel in the Swedish Transport Register, equipped with safety equipment including life jackets, life raft, and rescue ring, and featuring a salon, two double cabins, galley, and head. Charters carry up to 6 passengers on evening (2–2.5 hour, 650–850 SEK per person) and day (4-hour, 1,000 SEK per person) trips, and up to 4 passengers on two-day overnight trips (3,000 SEK per person), all departing from Karlslunds Marina in Österhaninge for the Stockholm archipelago during May through October.

Revenue is generated from per-passenger transaction fees paid at booking or before departure via bank card, Swish, or cash, supplemented by an ISSA Inshore Skipper certification training program delivered on the same yacht. A channel partnership with a local Canary Islands charter company extends the season into winter using third-party vessels. Distribution is direct-to-consumer — phone, email, Telegram, and a Russian-language website — with marketing primarily through Instagram, Facebook, and customer testimonials. The operation is run by a single licensed captain (Swedish Fartygsbefäl klass VIII and international Yacht Skipper-Coastal, plus ISSA instructor certification) and a small crew, with no external institutional funding disclosed.

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• Click&Boat: European boat rental platform offering skippered and crewed yacht charters. Comparable as an alternative booking channel for Fordewind's customer base, especially for the Stockholm archipelago and Mediterranean.
• SamBoat: Boat rental marketplace connecting boat owners with renters across Europe. Comparable as an alternative channel through which Fordewind customers could book small-craft leisure experiences, though SamBoat is a marketplace rather than an operator.
• GetMyBoat: Global boat and yacht rental marketplace with skippered charter listings. Comparable as a competing demand channel for Fordewind's crewed yacht charters, particularly in the Canary Islands and Mediterranean.

Broad incumbents

• Sunsail: Global sailing holiday and yacht charter brand offering flotillas, skippered charters, and learn-to-sail programs. Comparable to Fordewind on crewed charters and sailing training, with overlap in the training/school segment Fordewind is building with ISSA.
• The Moorings: Established yacht charter operator with crewed and bareboat offerings in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and other regions. Comparable in crewed-charter product to Fordewind's Canary Islands operation but at far greater scale and fleet diversity.
• Dream Yacht Charter: Global yacht charter company offering bareboat, skippered, and crewed charters across 60+ destinations. Comparable to Fordewind's crewed charter offering but with vastly larger fleet, broader geography, and a primarily bareboat-leaning customer mix.

Direct peers

• MedSailors: Operates skipper-led flotilla sailing holidays for small groups across Croatia, Greece, and the Caribbean. Directly comparable to Fordewind's captain-led small-group sailing format, although at much larger scale and with a younger party-focused brand.
• Sailogy: Online yacht charter platform offering crewed and bareboat yacht rentals across the Mediterranean and beyond. Comparable to Fordewind's crewed-yacht charter product but operating as a marketplace aggregator rather than a single-operator brand.

Regional players

• Mediterana Sailing: Stockholm-based sailing charter operator offering skippered trips in the Stockholm archipelago. Directly comparable as a same-city competitor targeting overlapping tourist demand with the same small-group, captain-led format.
• Sjövägen Yacht Charter: Swedish yacht charter broker arranging sailing holidays in Sweden and abroad. Comparable as a Stockholm/regional competitor addressing similar Swedish and visiting tourist demand for crewed sailing experiences.
