Jump on board our cutter, E.1, and enjoy Esbjerg harbour from the deck of an old cutter while hearing about Esbjerg’s transformation from an export harbour to an energy metropolis. Or join us on a seal safari and get close to the nature of the Wadden Sea as we set off aboard a genuine Esbjerg cutter from 1931. The Fisheries and Maritime Museum’s cutter, E.1 (the “Claus Sørensen”) gives you an authentic experience of life on board a beautiful wooden vessel. On these trips you get really close to the animals living in the Wadden Sea, as well as the large ships, drilling rigs and offshore turbines in Esbjerg harbour, and hear the whole story told by the talented crew members and educators from the museum.
The cutter is only authorised to sail in daylight hours during the summer season from 1 May to 31 October.
In our events calendar you can find details of when the cutter sails and what kinds of trip are on offer.

Then join us for a tour of our exhibitions with one of our museum educators to get a better appreciation and knowledge of the cultural history during your visit.

We offer guided tours of our exhibitions Energy from the Sea and Denmark’s Incredible Fishing Venture.

During the tour, the museum communicators will tell you more intriguing details about the exhibitions. 

We offer museum tours to both private citizens, businesses and groups.
