Description

MS Castor was built in Esbjerg in 1936 and was a fishing boat in the North Sea until the mid-1950s.In the 1960s, the ship was rebuilt and converted into a camp school ship for young criminals. Later, Castor was used by tourists, locals and charter guests on cruises in the Kattegat and the Little Belt.In 1996, the ship was bought by a group of citizens in Bogense, where she has been berthed in the old harbor ever since. In 2014, Castor went from being a limited company to becoming the self-governing institution Castor of Bogense. This made it possible to apply for funds and grants for operations. The tour ship is 52 feet long and 16 feet wide. It weighs 40 tons, has a draft of 3 meters and carries 39 passengers.20 September 2018, the skipper sounded the alarm. People flocked to the ship as the sky was covered in thick black smoke coming from the Castor's engine room. Unfortunately, Castor had caught fire while docked at Bogense Gl. Harbor. Fortunately, the fire was quickly brought under control, but unfortunately, it turned out that the damage was more extensive than hoped. She was declared a total loss and had to be rebuilt. Castor was sent to the shipyard, and it was a big job. Among other things, the craftsmen installed a new kitchen and toilet, and the best quality oak wood is also found on Castor. In August 2020, Castor was ready again in Bogense Harbor, but due to Corona, there were not many sailing trips. Today, Castor is ready to welcome a lot of passengers and has been fully chartered for the 2022/23 season. Contact YachtBroker Mikkel Synnestvedt +45 21724333
