About Boating in Finland
The main boating destinations are the Åland Islands and the Archipelago Sea, the archipelago along the south coast, the archipelagos along the west coast, and the lake district. The lake district covers most of the central and south-east of Finland, with "central" in fact reaching to just about a quarter of Finland's length. Much of it is reachable from the seas through the Saimaa Canal in the south-east. There are other lakes that are popular for boating but where boats must be chartered locally or brought in by road. Most lakes and archipelagos are labyrinthine, with countless islands and islets, inlets and straits. This provides for varying landscapes and seascapes and many nice surprises, but also means that you must be alert with your navigation – even if most fairways are well marked
