Now you can experience the feeling of Newport and ocean steaming romance of Swedish vintage only 30 minutes drive north of Gothenburg. Stenungsbaden Yacht Club is a welcoming place; certainly not as pompous or pretentious as its name might sound. Of course, this is a truly excellent spot for sailing aficionados and those who like the lifestyle of the American east coast. However, in saying that, we do also emphasise that Stenungsbaden is a relaxed, put-your-feet-up type of yacht club. Yachts people often come here, but so also do other visitors who seek nothing more than a fine lookout over the sea and, perhaps, to have their palettes tickled by saffron-spiced fish soup. It may sound remarkable, but even though we are clearly hub in the yachting world, the Club is just as popular in the winter. We guess that it is not so much the sailing as the atmosphere.
