Thousands of Powerboats and Sailboats for sale

Recognized for many years as a major importer of Taiwan-built trawlers, Albin Marine was originally a Swedish manufacturer of marine diesel engines. In 1967 the company introduced its first production boat (the Albin 27 sailboat), and their first production powerboat design followed two years later. The current management obtained the North American rights to the Albin name in the mid-1970s, and by the early 1980s Albin models had established themselves as some of the better known trawlers in the U.S. market. As the demand for imported trawlers declined in the 1990s, Albin focused on expanding its popular series of U.S.-built fishing boats and family cruisers. This transition—basically a case of a company reinventing itself and refocusing its marketing efforts—was essentially completed by the mid 1990s. Albins have long been well regarded within the industry for their rugged construction, attractive pricing, and consistently strong resale values.
