Marine technician
Founder and workshop lead
Twenty years with marine engines and electrical systems. Still leads the workshop and carries out the final inspection of every charter boat.
Nordic Bay Marine
Local knowledge is part of the boat.
Nordic Bay is a small team of skippers and marine technicians based in Gothenburg. We believe good days at sea begin with preparation, not promises.
Our story
From one workshop bench to a small charter fleet.
Nordic Bay began in 2012 when a marine technician started maintaining boats for neighbours around Gothenburg. The workshop earned a reputation for careful work and plain-spoken advice, and customers soon began asking for help with boating itself.
Our first charter boat arrived in 2017. Today we run a deliberately small fleet and a year-round workshop. That lets us inspect what we rent, answer email when plans change and keep every recommendation grounded in local experience.

Why the west coast
The archipelago starts at our doorstep
Gothenburg's southern islands offer a varied coastline within easy reach. Within an hour you can be alongside a quiet guest harbour, anchored for lunch or walking a granite shoreline.
It is also practical: protected berths, road connections and quick access to routes that remain sheltered in changing weather.
- Guest berths and secure charter preparation area
- Year-round workshop and winter hall nearby
- Road links to central Gothenburg
