In 2009 Albin will celebrate its 110 year history in the Marine Business. In 2008 The Assets of Albin Marine were sold to Bladen Composites, the maker of storied Shamrock Boats and Defiance Pilot House Outboard powered boats. The Albin Boats continues today under the Bladen Composites family of boats. The new Albins join a long line classic boats and are the perfect additions to our Shamrock Family of Boats. Albin Boats have long been regarded as one of the finest and most rugged boats built and an exceptional value for the quality product received. They have since become a favorite of the Pilot House Boat fans around the world! Albin Boats is the successor to Albin Motor, which was originally founded in Sweden in 1899 as a marine diesel engine and boat manufacturer. In 1966 Albin entered the U.S. market and established a Global presence. Fred Peters began building products in Sweden, Taiwan, and the United States. Volvo Penta acquired the marine engine division in 1981, and from that point forward Albin focused 100% on the boat building operations and building the finest quality product available in the marketplace today. In our new state of the art facility in Bladenboro, NC, the quality tradition continues. With the addition of extra quality control measures and CNC capabilities in house, we are able to improve even further on the quality of product we manufacture, while keeping expenses at a minimum to give you the consumer the “Most Boat for the Money.” Our diesel powered yachts are built without compromise and known throughout the world as seaworthy vessels designed in the North Sea tradition to handle the roughest waters. Our name is synonymous with hand-crafted, offshore yachts of quality, with timeless lines and well thought out design. If you want outstanding accommodations for the cruising family, or canyon rigging for the serious sport fisherman, Albin Marine has the perfect yacht to suit both your maritime needs and your individual style.
