The Vessel

She was built in Thurø, Denmark, in 1924, constructed entirely of oak. Originally built as a private leisure yacht, she completed several circumnavigations between 1975 and 1980. After a restoration focused on preserving the vessel’s historical authenticity, she was named “Denmark’s most beautiful galeas.”

Following her world voyages and a period spent in the West Indies and Caribbean, Johanne Marie came to Norway and joined the Norwegian fleet of classic sailing vessels. Since then, she has become a popular charter ship in Norway and is often described as a vessel in a class of her own.

In 1997, Johanne Marie received new toilet and a modern propulsion system, and the main salon was expanded to accommodate up to 40 people. These upgrades enabled her to offer both historic charm and modern comfort.

In 2024, Johanne Marie celebrated her 100th anniversary, a century after she was first built. She remains a popular and comfortable charter ship that brings a sense of historic elegance to Norwegian waters.
