Ahoy there mateys! Ever heard of a boat club founded by Hornstull boat owners? That’s Liljeholmens Båtklubb for you. Established on June 29 1923 this club has a rich history.
Liljeholmens Båtklubb or LBK as the locals call it isn’t just any boat club. It’s a Stockholm institution nestled on the Södermalm side beneath the Liljeholmsbron bridge. Imagine a charming harbour with space for about 80 boats. That’s the heart of LBK. But the story doesn’t end there.
This isn’t just a place to dock your vessel. LBK boasts its own private island Aludden. This little gem sits in the Långtarmen bay outside Fåringsö in Lake Mälaren. A secluded haven for club members to relax and enjoy the Swedish archipelago. Its precise coordinates are 59°18’35″N 17°43’8″E. A true hidden treasure.
The club isn’t just for show. It offers winter storage too. A limited number of berths remain ice-free throughout the colder months. This is a boon for boat owners wanting to keep their vessels afloat all year round. It provides a crucial service for LBK’s members.
Liljeholmens Båtklubb is more than just a harbour. It’s a community. It’s a gathering place for boat enthusiasts. It’s a testament to Stockholm’s maritime heritage. It’s a vibrant part of the city’s fabric. So next time you are near Liljeholmsbron take a moment to appreciate this unique little piece of Stockholm. Who knows you might even see Anna Havsbris the club’s chairwoman. Or maybe Nevil Jijih the vice chairman. Their contact details are on the club website. Feel free to say hello.
