Storbåt Tacksamheten
Tacksamheten is a modern version of a working boat, with minimal carbon footprint and environmental impact.
The hull shape is based on the traditional Market/Cargo boat model of the Archipelago Sea, simply known as Storbåt. The central cabin is a replica of the same era’s fish-buying boats. These boats were in use in archipelago communities from the 16th century until the early 1900s.
Built in Nauvo in 1825, the Storbåt named Tacksamheten served as inspiration for the boat’s name. Tacksamheten is CE certified and registered for 12 passengers.
Detailed construction blogs and photos of the boat can be found at the BUILDING BLOG link.
PARTNERS
We work closely with other entrepreneurs in the archipelago. Together, we can offer a high-quality and authentic experience in a unique environment.
SAILING TRIPS
We offer traditional Archipelago transportation amidst beautiful nature. The boat’s home port is the island town of Nauvo, and we primarily depart from there. Upon agreement, we can relocate the boat closer to your desired location, and if you’re interested in charter sailing, feel free to contact us directly to tailor a suitable package for you.
WEEKEND RETREAT AT HYPPEIS B&B HOUTSKÄR, 22-24th MAY
Forget the everyday. We have a better plan for you.
Come to the archipelago for the weekend. To stretch, breathe, laugh at yourself — and at our captain Sami’s sea stories.
We will sail on a traditional wooden boat toward the quiet beauty of Jungfruskär.
And above all: you can rest and spend time outdoors in a way you never quite manage at home.
AHVENSAARI, DAY-SAIL WITH LUNCH 6th of JULY
A day trip by sail to Ahvensaari, known especially for its old limestone quarry, which over the years has filled with crystal-clear water and formed a striking turquoise natural pool. The visibility is astonishing – from the surface, you can see schools of perch hunting smaller fish at the bottom of the quarry. The quarry is a popular diving site, but it also offers a peaceful setting for a picnic and for exploring local cultural history.

OUR VALUES
In addition to traditional building methods and materials, we have made conscious decisions for the environment. Our responsible practices have enabled us to obtain the Green Start responsible tourism certificate. In early 2022, we joined the Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) program. We are also a partner of the Finnish Forest Administration and the Biosphere Reserve.
MISSION STATEMENT
We are sailing in a beautiful island setting utilising and preserving the conditions provided by mother nature.
RECYCLING
We recycle pretty much everything
WATER SYSTEMS ONBOARD
The boat is equipped with a toilet with seawater flush. Wastewater goes into a septic tank, which cannot be emptied into the sea. Only suction emptying is possible. The sink water from the galley is drained into a gray water tank, which is emptied into the sewer.
ENERGY AND POWER ONBOARD
Environmentally friendly and low-emission solutions are achieved through wind power, a modern diesel engine, shore power system, and solar panels.
DIESEL ENGINE
A 3-cylinder, 30hp VETUS diesel was installed in spring 2023. This modern, low-emission diesel replaced the well-functioning Oceanvolt AX8 electric motor. The electric motor’s range became an issue, prompting the change.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
The boat has a 48V energy system hooked to a 3000W inverter for 230 V, as well as 12V leisure and starter batteries.
SOLAR PANELS
12V solar panels are installed on the cabin roof. These panels keep the leisure battery in good condition and allow the use of the fridge and all electronics without worries.
NEWS
