Try out MiniCat Guppy

The MiniCat GUPPY is all about simplicity and quick assembly, and is exceptionally lightweight at just 27 kg.

Activity in connection with the fair

M/S Eriksberg – a journey through time

The vessel was built in 1910 at the Eriksberg shipyard in Gothenburg under the name Bore, and was used by the navy in Karlskrona as a transport ship. Over the years she has carried several names and served various purposes, including Aurora Borealis and later M/S Sandön, when she operated in the Stockholm archipelago and Lake Vättern and became a popular boat for tours and events.

In 2021, the vessel returned to Gothenburg – the very same place where it all began 111 years earlier. To mark the city’s 400th anniversary, she was given her current name, M/S Eriksberg, and today continues her journey with new experiences at sea.

Welcome aboard – create memories on a boat with soul.
