Gasthamn, Sweden L
ocated just outside Kungälv in the Southern Bohuslän Archipelago on the West Coast of Sweden, Marstrands
Gasthamn sits below the brooding bulk of Carlsten Fortress where its busy harbour has been compared to Cowes when it stages major international sailing events such as the World Match Racing Tour finals. Designed to berth 300 boats, the marina has been known to accommodate more vessels when 100,000 visitors attend this event. The town’s colourful history
– as so often in Western Sweden – mainly revolves around fish. Founded under Norwegian rule in the 13th century, it achieved remarkable prosperity through

herring fishing during the following century, when the ruling king, Håkon of Norway, obtained permission from the Pope to allow fishing in the
town even on holy days. Rich herring pickings, however, eventually led to greed and corruption, and Marstrand became known as the most immoral
town in Scandinavia. The murder of a cleric in 1586
was seen as an omen and very soon, the whole town burned to the
ground. Soon after this catastrophe, the herring mysteriously disappeared from its waters and neither the fish nor Marstrand’s prosperity began to return until the 1770s by which time the town had fallen behind Gothenburg in importance. In the 1820s, the old herring
salting-houses were converted into bathhouses as Marstrand reinvented itself as a fashionable bathing resort. It is now a delightful holiday town with no hint of immorality! Situated in the North-East of
the Kattegat, which forms the transitional area between the salty North Sea and the brackish Baltic Sea, the marina is very popular and by 2003, it became clear that more
berthing facilities were necessary. SF Marina System AB of Gothenburg helped to secure the necessary permits, which took several years to arrange, and then installed new pontoons of 2.43 and 4.00 metres in phases as the budget became
available. The manufacturer’s planning staff also reorganised the layout of the marina to double capacity without compromising access to the water or restrict the ability of boats to manoeuvre in safety.
Marstrands Gasthamn can now
provide 300 berths, although this figure is likely to be exceeded during major events such as the Marstrand Boat Fair in August for which SF Marina System has also installed a 6.00 metre wide exhibition dock. Facilities at the marina include
electricity/water pedestals from local supplier Utsikten Konstructioner of Gråbo, pump-out/ waste disposal, showers, toilets and a laundry room with washing machines and tumble driers. There is a boatyard, Ringens Varv AB, on the neighbouring island of Koon and a chandlery store. Marstrands Gasthamn
