The harbours on Skarø, Drejø and Hjortø are not large, but they offer something rare: tranquillity, a sense of presence and a feeling of being completely at one with yourself. You can take a dip, eat your food under the open sky and sleep on board with a view of the stars and the scent of the sea.

Skarø Habour
When you arrive at Skarø, you immediately notice the special island atmosphere. Life here moves at a slower pace, and the days are spent close to nature and the sea. The harbour is safe and inviting, and you are only a few steps away from the island's famous ice cream, small paths and beach meadows full of bird life. Skarø is a perfect break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life – yet only a short sail from Svendborg.
Drejø Habour
Drejø welcomes you with half-timbered houses, village ponds and a peacefulness that permeates your entire body. The small harbour exudes charm and provides access to an island where the fields stretch right down to the water and the sunsets paint the horizon golden. Here, there is time to take a walk along the gravel roads, say hello to a local and find a quiet spot to enjoy the afternoon sun.
Hjortø Habour
On Hjortø, the pace slows down completely. There are no shops, no traffic – just the quiet rocking of the harbour, the sounds of nature and unique bird life. The island is a small natural paradise where you can spend the night in peace and wake up to a morning with the sky as your closest neighbour. Hjortø is for those seeking tranquillity and presence in the heart of the archipelago.
