Step aboard a real fishing cutter. Take a peek into the hold and galley, or take a climb in the Danish seine. Take control in the wheelhouse and smell the scent of fishing adventure.
Check out the salvage house. Try the hoists and explore the shipping crates with exciting, salvaged goods. Feel the salty wind in your face at the rescue station, where you’ll find genuine equipment from rescue operations.
