history
Boghammar Marin was founded in 1906 under the name Gustafsson & Anderssons Varvs & Mekaniska Verkstad AB in Kungsholmen by the brothers Anders Gustafsson (born 1869) and Reinhold Andersson (born 1872). They worked with the engine manufacturer Archimedes . The shipyard relocated to Skärsätra in Lidingö in 1914.
Between 1921 and 1932, Gustafsson & Andersson rented part of its shipbuilding facility to Svenska Aero , where aircraft were finally assembled and approved. Swedish Aero built hundreds of aircraft for the Swedish , Estonian and Lithuanian armed forces. The company was then sold to ASJA in Linköping.
In 1924 the Gustafsson & Andersson Varvs & Mechanical workshop resumed boat building, producing yachts and a number of small private boats for years . During the Second World War , the shipyard built five coastal defense boats and six 90-ton fishing vessels , which were included in a state trade agreement with Germany. These boats were around 20 meters long and made of oak.
The shipyard changed its name after World War II, when Anders Gustafsson's sons Tage and Anders Boghammar took over. At Boghammar Marin AB then mainly passenger boats , patrol boats , pilot boats and the family and excursion boats Boghammar Magnum were produced. In the 1960s, the shipyard manufactured Type 200 landing craft . In 1965, Europe's fastest police boat was built for the Stockholm police. In the late 1970s, Tage Boghammar Anders and Lars Boghammar's sons took over the company. In 1976/97 the shipyard built four Djurgårds ferries . In the 1980s, the shipyard delivered 65 Iranian patrol boats. In recent years the shipyard has mainly built pilot boats and delivered them to the Swedish maritime administration and to private ports in the UK . Most of the shipyard's boats were exported.
