Former pilot harbor with anchorage. In the southern part of Storö, there is a fantastic restaurant, café, and hotel, and there are many well marked paths inviting walks around the island. 

NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

From Väderöfjord, you can easily enter the sound between Storö and Ärholmen. South of the skerry, which together with Storö forms the harbor entrance, there is a large but marked shoal. Boats with a shallow draft can enter the harbor through the narrow east-west channel. The water depth in the channel is over 1 m, but it is very narrow. Remnants of stone quarrying on the rocks also pose a danger, as some iron fittings are still stuck in the rocks. Speed restriction in the entire area to max. 5 kn.

Berths

You are moored alongside or in front of the stern anchor on land or on the quay. Please note that the quay is partly private or reserved for the supplier (sopbåten). The western harbor is also private. The water depth is between 1 and 3 meters. The harbor offers good protection from winds from all directions. Only when the wind comes from the south or east is the number of sheltered places limited. There are several rock hooks in the bay south of the harbor, but you can also moor on Storö's southeast side. The sound between Storö and Ärholmen is a well-known anchorage. The current usually sets northwards at a speed of less than 1 knot.

Surroundings

Storö was a pilot station from the mid-17th century until 1967. Today, the pilot house is home to a diving club. The lookout tower has a peculiar, striking construction. Many nature lovers have suggested that Väderöarna (see map) should become a national park. The proposal is understandable, as there are magnificent cliffs here, as well as unique birdlife, flora and fauna on land and water. The Väderöarna are a bird sanctuary, where access is restricted at certain times. You may not approach the land from the water side by less than 50 meters. The only exception is Storö and the surrounding islands (see map). Dry toilets are available.
