A bridge, a lock or a long straight stretch? That\u2019s part of the charm.<\/p>\n
Still, it can feel reassuring to know where the next stop for overnighting or bunkering (as it\u2019s called in nautical terms) is.<\/p>\n
Along the G\u00f6ta Canal there are no fewer than 21 guest harbors included in the canal fee you pay when you rent a boat. What they have in common is that at no extra cost they offer all the facilities you need for a comfortable trip: water, shore power, septic tank pump-out station, fresh water, toilets, showers, laundry facilities, tourist information, etc.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-3de210dc-fa25-41e8-a409-e7278b8c17f6%22:%91%22header_text_color%22%93}”]In addition, you\u2019ll find free jetties where you can stay overnight and several guest and nature harbors on Lake V\u00e4ttern where the fee is very modest. Vadstena and Stenbryggan in Karlsborg are two examples.<\/p>\n
Below you\u2019ll find our recommended guest harbors. Keep an eye out for our bases where you start or end your trip, and for the harbors we recommend for overnight stays and for bunkering. Our journey here goes from east to west, but if you travel the other way you\u2019ll gain just as much from our harbor tips.[\/et_pb_text][dipi_button_grid flex_direction=”row” justify_content=”flex-start” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”ce89dc15-c12a-4a79-9523-a8d5522b035a” button_grid_bg_color=”#005080″ button_grid_border_width=”0px” custom_margin=”30px|||0px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ button_grid_text_size_tablet=”” button_grid_text_size_phone=”” button_grid_text_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” button_grid_letter_spacing_tablet=”” button_grid_letter_spacing_phone=”” button_grid_letter_spacing_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_grid_text_size__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_grid_text_size__hover=”” button_grid_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_grid_letter_spacing__hover=”1px” button_grid_bg_color__hover=”#F2C900″ button_grid_bg_enable_color__hover=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″][dipi_button_grid_child button_id=”Planera din resa” button_text=”Plan your trip” button_link=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI1OTUzMTQzIiwiZW5hYmxlX2h0bWwiOiJvZmYifX0=@” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_link” _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px|10px|0px|0px|true|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/dipi_button_grid_child][dipi_button_grid_child button_id=”Boka b\u00e5t” button_text=”Book a boat” button_link=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI1OTUzMDIxIiwiZW5hYmxlX2h0bWwiOiJvZmYifX0=@” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_link” _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dipi_button_grid_child][\/dipi_button_grid][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_video_mp4=”off” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”200px||200px||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”100px||100px||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gotakanalcharter.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Vadstena-Stefan-Sahlen.jpg” title_text=”Vadstena, Stefan Sahlen” module_class=”img-full-height” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”15a2c621-35a1-43d7-affe-550fee20b52b” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_color=”gcid-68e7e102-b05d-4a45-bbb3-e8ed374fb8b0″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-68e7e102-b05d-4a45-bbb3-e8ed374fb8b0%22:%91%22box_shadow_color%22,%22box_shadow_color%22%93}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F5F5F5″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font_size=”60px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-3de210dc-fa25-41e8-a409-e7278b8c17f6%22:%91%22header_text_color%22,%22header_text_color%22,%22header_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n
