Rent a boat in Oslofjorden
The Oslofjord is Norway's most densely boated waters — an archipelago of bathing coves and hundreds of islands a short cruise from the capital. Renting a boat in the Oslofjord opens up everything from slow days on a classic snekke to long hours on the water, without owning one.
Hundreds of islands and islets within an hour's cruise
Dense supply — minutes from Oslo, Drøbak and Vestfold

Questions and answers about renting a boat in Oslofjorden
Where do I pick up a rental boat in the Oslofjord?
Boats are spread along the whole fjord — from central Oslo and Nesodden in the north down to Drøbak, Vestfold and Hvaler further south. Each listing shows the exact pickup point, so you choose the boat nearest where you want to head out.
Which islands should I set course for?
The classics are the bathing islands just off Oslo (Langøyene and Gressholmen), Håøya by Drøbak, and the Færder archipelago further south. With your own rental you can land where the crowds aren't.
Do I need a boating licence to rent a boat in Oslofjorden?
It depends on the boat and on the country you will be sailing in — the rules are not the same in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. When we open, every listing will state whether the boat requires a licence, and you are responsible for holding what is required where you are. If you are sailing in Norway, our guide explains the Norwegian rules with sources.
How much does it cost to rent a boat in Oslofjorden?
The price is set by each owner and varies with boat type, size and season. When we open, the aim is that you see the total including the fee before you confirm — today you cannot book anything here.
Is the boat insured when I rent in Oslofjorden?
Sailfloat provides no insurance. The rental agreement is between owner and renter, and the boat is covered by the owner's own policy — renting out for payment is often excluded from ordinary leisure-boat insurance, so the owner must have cleared it with their insurer.
How do I get to the boat in Oslofjorden without a car?
When we open, every listing will give the exact pickup point, not just the place name. Check how you get there — and back by the agreed time — before choosing a boat: some docks are in the city centre, others need a car. If in doubt, ask the owner before booking.
