Ragskar Island, Sweden
Previous Page
Rågskär is a small private island surrounded by skerries and small islets,
with about 600 acres of water property. The closest neighbour is a wildlife
preserve for birds. Here, where the birds are protected, the sea eagle can nest
without being disturbed. There is a rich variety of birds and always a good
chance of seeing the sea eagle fly and hunt.
Meals at Rågskär typically consist of fresh seafood caught from the
surrounding waters. The freshly skinned and prepared filets of perch are
served directly from the grill or frying pan. Guests may choose to dine
either cliff-side table or in the fisherman's boathouse, where the doors
open onto a beautiful view of the sea and the setting sun.
The island's culinary motto came from one of its guests, the well-known
Swedish chef Erik Lallerstedt, who during a visit with four Chinese guests,
wrote in the guestbook:
"The frugal has a way of being unsurpassable"
The island offers individual companies an exclusive experience in Stockholm's
archipelago with rest, retreat, sauna, rod fishing, a game of "varpa" and a
culinary three-course archipelago meal. Meetings can be held outside on the
cliffs or inside the main house. Like the well-known Swedish artists Anders Zorn
and Bruno Liljefors, many of our guests have found this archipelago very
creative and stimulating.
Your host, as well as owner, Björn Åkerlund, bids you welcome to Rågskär.
Rågskär and the surrounding islands were bought by my grandfather in the
twenties and have since been the property of my family. The houses were built
later.
Björn took his exam as civil engineer at Stockholm's KTH (The Royal Technical
University) in 1973 and has worked mostly internationally at both Atlas Copco
and SKF Steel. He has always spent a lot of time at Rågskär and is now working
to develop its potential for conferences, meetings and quiet moments while
maintaining the genuineness of this beautiful and secluded island where the only
sources of energy are the sun and the wind. He has an ardent interest in the
archipelago as well as for hunting, fishing and cooking. It is an unforgettable
experience to be able to come out to a private skerry together with your
company's management or department to hold conferences or just to socialize with
important customers or guests.

Getting There
