Open house at Mårtensson's Boatyard

Open house at Mårtensson's Boatyard


From 1934 to 1985, the three Mårtensson brothers built more than 1,000 hunting canoes, Blekingsekor and motorised sledges adapted to the archipelago, all according to the rivet building technique, which has been classified as a cultural heritage technique since 2021.

During the summer of 2024, Mårtensson's boatyard is hosting open house events on Saturdays and Sundays as follows:

June 29-30, from 10:00 to 16:00
July 6-7, from 10:00 to 16:00
July 13, from 10:00 to 16:00
July 14, from 10:00 to 16:00
July 20-21, from 10:00 to 16:00
July 27, closed
July 28, from 10:00 to 16:00
August 3-4, from 10:00 to 16:00

A knowledgeable guide will be present to share information about the tradition of wooden boat building on Hästholmen Island. Mårtensson's boatyard was designated as a historic landmark in 1997 and is now managed by the Mårtensson's Boatyard Foundation.

Visitors will have the opportunity to take a rowing trip in a traditional hunting canoe during their visit.
