What guests say

The restored-ship setting and the seafood are the highlights; the boat can be tricky for limited mobility.

Good to know

  • Three areas: tables on the quay, a covered upper deck overlooking the canal, and an intimate lower deck with portholes at water level.
  • All open sandwiches are served on gluten-free rye bread (until 16:30).
  • Draught beer from Danish breweries such as To Øl, Åben, Gamma and Brøl.
  • The ship is still officially registered as a cargo ship with the Danish Maritime Authority.

Checked on the venue's own site and in the press, October 2026.
