M/S Maarten Charter Boat Kristiansand

Are you planning to organize meetings, conferences, or just looking for a social event? M/S Maarten is ready to offer you a unique archipelago experience all year round. Together, we can create exciting experiences that can be combined with Skippergada, the shipyard in Ny-Hellesund, or how about a beautiful boat trip through Blindleia to Brekkestø? M/S Maarten accommodates 100 people, with 60 comfortable seats in the lounge and over 50 outdoor seats on the upper deck. On the sun deck, we can retract the roof in case of a rare rain shower. With a license to serve beer and wine, along with the option of a fantastic menu featuring freshly caught seafood, everything is set for an unforgettable ride on M/S Maarten. The boat is chartered by the hour with a crew, with a minimum rental period of 2 hours.

Here are some of the feedback we have received from our customers:

The archipelago surrounding Kristiansand offers typical outports, calm waters and a thriving boating experience. The trip leaving eastbound towards Lillesand, goes through the famous “Blindleia,” here we experience old outports as “Ulvøysund” and “Brekkestø,” both of which are known for their old, white, and southern style houses. On the westbound trip towards Mandal, we drive in through New Hellesund, and can go ashore at the coastal fort, dated from World War II.  

The employees working at M/S Maarten emphasizes that safety is important while on board. We spend a lot of resources on the ship so that it can maintain its good condition, and that the crew has approved education and courses.

M/S Maarten is ideal for groups with up to 100 people. The upper deck gives you the overview you need, and in the Cabin there are 70 comfortable seats at your disposal. The boat is equipped with large windows, which allows you to experience the sights from a warm atmosphere.

Although M/S Maarten has a large passenger capacity, the ship is not so large that it has any trouble to dock near your particular place of importance. That is why the boat is swell if you want to go ashore, only to be taken back later. M/S Maarten is also ideal for smaller groups.
