Kung Karl

Price:

Classic passenger boat with high charm factor, built in 1872 at Lindholmen's shipyard, certified for 23 passengers in operating area E. Kung Karl was originally built as a steam launch and was motorized in 1951. Since around 1967, she has been a well-known feature of Stockholm's waterways.

On board there are table seating areas for groups, both in the aft section of the saloon and on the sun deck.

Last dry-dock was in 2024, when a 5-year classification survey was also carried out. The boat is very well maintained and has all certificates valid, and has been in service during the summer of 2026.

Kung Karl can be inspected in Stockholm by arrangement with Shipsforsale.
