Albatros 1 was built in 1948 as a tanker. As ships became bigger and bigger she was rebuilt for supplyship and passenger transport when the bridge from Fyn to Sealand was built. After this project was finished she started sailing angling tours at Storebaelt and was based in Nyborg on Fyn under the name of Pip. Sold to Hirtshals in march 2009 and was renamed Albatros 1. Still angling tours are the main business but the size of the ship and how it is equipped makes it possible to do other jobs both for pleasure and as supplyboat, for diving trips and many different purposes.
Albatros 1 is heavy and lying good even in a rougher sea which means better and easy angling. Approved for 45 passengers on daytrips but normally we do not take more than 28 – 30 anglers on daytrips. Also doing longer trips where people eat and sleep onboard. There numbers of passengers are restricted. Under deck is a big room where passengers also eat and then rooms with sleeping facilities and two toilets/bathrooms and a toilet on main deck.
Main engine is a 10-cylinder Mercedes and in the front engine room there are 2 engines for making electricity and for the bow thruster. Bridge is equipped with modern gear for fish finding, navigation, safety and communication. You are welcome to come and have a look when on board.
On main deck we have tables for gutting and making fillets. We are able to offer food and coffee if ordered in advance. Fishing gear can be rented onboard and you can buy danish fishing license but also has to be ordered the day before. Everybody angling needs a danish license.
SMOKING AND USE OF OPEN FIRE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AT ANY PLACE INDOOR OR UNDER DECK.
