As the only boat in the fleet, Mågen is allowed to sail year-round.
M/S Mågen, built in 1996, is Hjejleselskabet’s newest boat. The boat is well-designed with its two decks and is particularly suitable for guests with mobility issues, featuring a gangway level with the quay, a handicap-accessible toilet, and a lift.
The boat’s facilities make it very popular for all types of sailings, ranging from cruises on busy summer days and excursions for nursing homes to employee and customer events as well as celebrating special occasions.
Guests enjoy a great view from Mågen’s spacious salon, and sitting on the boat’s lower deck, one experiences everything at water level, which is quite special.
There is plenty of space to move around the boat—outside and inside, upstairs and downstairs—and ample opportunity to enhance the event with music and dance, entertainment, or lectures.
Since 1996

When you rent Mågen, you get a wonderful crew to sail the boat. You set the course, but there are always plenty of ideas and good advice available both at the Hjejleselskabet office and in the boat’s wheelhouse.
Perhaps the boat will take a round trip without stops while you enjoy refreshments on board. Maybe you’ll dock at one of the small landing stages along the lakes so everyone can disembark for a brisk walk. Or perhaps we can together create a different program based on your wishes and our experience. There are many possibilities when you set sail with a Hjejle boat from the dock.
