Private Boat Tours in the Espoo & Helsinki Archipelago
Elysian Sea is a way to experience the Espoo & Helsinki archipelago at your own pace.
Aboard Alexandra, days are unhurried — time on deck, swimming, island stops, the warmth of a sauna, and lovely sunsets. Journeys between Helsinki and Tallinn offer a private and effortless way to move between two cities.
Elysian Sea is not simply about getting somewhere, but about how time is spent along the way.
Elysian Sea - A mythical maritime paradise.
The name draws from the Elysium of ancient Greek mythology — the place where heroes were said to arrive in a realm of peace, beauty, and eternal light. Elysian Sea is not a real place but more like a dream.
Here in the Finnish Archipelago, surrounded by one of the world's largest collections of islands, the dream can be found. Endless channels, quiet coves, weather-shaped rocks, and long Nordic summer evenings create a real paradise.
— The sea at its most serene, and most beautiful.
