Parainen - Korppoo

The sailing route between Parainen and Korppoo lies in Finland's Archipelago Sea, renowned for its sheltered waters and scenic archipelago landscape. Typical sailing season runs from May to September, with prevailing southwesterly winds averaging 10-15 knots. Currents are minimal, and depths generally range from 5 to 20 meters, though sailors should remain vigilant near islands and channels due to occasional shallow areas and submerged rocks.

Parainen guest harbor (Paraisten vierassatama) provides approximately 70 berths, equipped with electricity, fresh water, fuel station, showers, toilets, waste disposal, and provisioning options nearby. Korppoo's main marina, Verkan Guest Harbour, offers around 50 berths with similar facilities, including fuel, electricity, water, showers, sauna, laundry, and a restaurant.

This region has a rich maritime heritage, historically serving as a vital sailing route connecting mainland Finland to the Åland Islands and Sweden. Navigation is straightforward, but sailors should carefully follow marked channels and updated nautical charts due to numerous islands and skerries.
