This is an incredibly fun and hand-able fiberglass pocket cruiser/troller/trawler. Swedish built (think North Sea) – sometimes described as “the VW Westfalia of the sea” – it can sleep 4, and cannot be beat for safety, economy (sips .66 gph@6 knots), and comfort. She’s taken us from Olympia to the San Juans through the Canadian Gulf Islands, and on to Princess Louisa Inlet and Desolation Sound. We’ve crossed the Strait of Georgia several times…this boat can take much more than we ever could! These ultrasafe Albin 25 family cruisers have a bit of a following in the PNW – and this boat makes friends wherever she goes!
We have been over every inch of this boat, and know her strengths well; there are many, many upgrades. It’s a complete package for PNW cruising. This might be a way for you to get into boating like we did (first time boaters 10 years ago), or to downsize - to one of the best Albin 25s available. We are sad to see her go - we love this boat! - but it’s time for some different adventures for us.
