It started in 1965.

It all started in 1965, aged 15 I got my first job after finishing school. I drove a service boat between Hönö to the construction site for the new lighthouse Trubaduren south of Vinga.

My father would run fishing trips and excursions to Vinga island on his boat Belle-Amie in the 60’s, as a child i would often accompany him.

After training and working as a carpenter I started drawing and selling kitchens for Osby kök AB in 1973.
My father drove an exhibition for Osby’s kitchen on his boat Belle-Amie.

In 1977 I graduated as skipper A (now 7th) and took over the business, bought my own schooner.

1977-1983 I was around Sweden’s coasts, canals and lakes where we sold Osby kitchen with the boat “Lidan”. We visited approx. 100 ports each year, an exciting time when we have to arrive to the next port on time, meet new people and sell a kitchen or two. Sweden is fantastic!

In 1986, I started working at Marbodal kitchens within store development, which carried out product development of kitchens. 2010-2014 for the kitchen group Nobia as Product manager and responseble for group kitchen innovation.

After more than 40 fantastic years in the kitchen industry I started Hönö Tourist & Fishing AB which enabled me to do what I love most skipper a boat!.

The highlight is organising  experiences for guests from all over the world, tell about life now and events from history.

In 2015 I bought a new boat which was named Belle-Amie after my father’s ship which was built in 1890, the same year that Evert Taube was born and the lighthouse on Vinga was built.

I would like to show as many people as possible the beautiful Gothenburg archipelago where I call home.

The hospitality industry is flourishing on the Öckerö Islands with the close proximity to the Gothenburg area. Many work in the industry and it is my hope to contribute further to its development through innovation.

Back where it all started, drive a boat in the Gothenburg archipelago between Hönö and Vinga, this is my passion instead of pension.

Welcome onboard!
