Lystfartøjsmuseet2

In total, there are about 30 wooden boats exhibited in the museum - from the smallest Optimist dinghy to the yacht Silvana, which guests can board. The warehouses themselves are worth a visit. They were built in the 1930s and were previously used by Hobro Grain.

All aspects of life on and around pleasure boats are represented in the museum, which is housed in two old warehouses at Hobro Harbor.

See the old boats. Feel the scent of tar and wood. Enjoy the impressive wooden structures of the buildings. There are ships, drawings, maps, and models to see, and there will be special exhibitions.

A cavalcade of boat types, from the yacht "Sylvana" from 1895 to the modern sailboard, is exhibited along with, among other things, communication, navigation, and rescue equipment.

A fantastic maritime museum.
