The Langskip a 55 ft. Viking style yacht is a handcrafted piece of art.

There is no other yacht in the world that compares to it.

Built in Germanischer Lloyds A class, it is strong enough to take you on a voyage across the oceans, but also has a shallow draft of 1m so you can take it on the inland waterways of the world. No other yacht of this size offers you this way of cruising.

The one you see here is 55 ft long and has a beam of 14 ft. But we can also build them bigger or smaller.

This one has 3 double cabins each with seperate toilets and shower. a saloon that seats 14 people and a copit with a big dining table.

The galley has a 4 plate electric cooker with oven and 2 fridges.

It comes standard with 2 x 75 hp engines, bowthruster, a 6kw generator, aircondition and heating, and all navigation equipment. Electric Andersen winches a 40 kg Delta anchor with 100m of stainless steel chain, The mast is unstayed made of carbon fiber and the yards are made of Sitka Spruce.

No expense has been spared to make this a strong and unique yacht.

These yachts are only made on order, and we will not make many so if you want one you should contact us soon.

Something is missing ....

It needs a few through hull portholes for the oars, and an aft cabin big enough to cram in all the galley slaves. :)
 
It's beautifully crafted but for a boat made for the North Atlantic is there no shelter for the helmsman?

I can't understand why so many boats needlessly expose the crew to the elements. Do people enjoy being cold and wet on night watches?

Ok rant over.
