The open console boat – Scandinavia’s versatile coastal cruiser
The open console boat is a true Scandinavian boat type, developed to handle the challenging conditions of the Norwegian and Swedish archipelago. With its open console, deep hull and excellent sea-keeping abilities, it is equally at home in narrow channels between islands as on open water. This boat type is hugely popular along the entire coast from the Oslofjord to Lofoten, and in the Swedish archipelago from Bohuslän to Stockholm.
Perfect areas for console boats in Norway and Sweden
In Norway, Hvaler, the Kragerø archipelago, Blindleia and the Ryfylke fjords are among the best areas. In Sweden, the Bohuslän archipelago with its bare rock faces, the Gothenburg archipelago and the Stockholm archipelago are ideal. Popular destinations include Marstrand, Fjällbacka and Sandhamn.
