Cruising area · North Sea and Baltic
Swedish West Coast
Bohuslän is rocky, well sheltered and very popular. The channels between the islands are narrow, and outside lies the Skagerrak, where wind against tide makes a steep sea. The typical loss is a grounding on rock, followed by damage while berthing in crowded summer harbours.

Berths, season and winter storage
The main season is June to August with berths in the middle price band. Ashore storage is usual in winter and the area can freeze. In natural harbours, pay more attention to the shore lines than to the anchor, because that is what the boat actually hangs on.
What this means for your policy
The area belongs to the Scandinavia cruising range. If you continue north or across the Skagerrak to Denmark and Norway, check that those sections are in the same entry. Also clarify how your policy assesses hull damage after rock contact.
