M/S Rylen is a younger lady from 1948, and the boat is very popular for summer sightseeing cruises, round trips, and more intimate social cruises with a focus on closeness and coziness.
Events such as confirmations, milestone birthdays, and employee gatherings are among Rylen’s specialties, providing the perfect setting for fantastic experiences in the beautiful Lake Highlands. Guests can sit back and relax on the padded benches with excellent seating comfort inside the salon, or, for those who enjoy fresh air and the sound of waves, there are seats available on the boat’s foredeck.
Since 1948
1948
Traveling at 4 km/h is slow. This was the pace of Rylen’s journey on a low loader from Aarhus to Silkeborg. The trip took a full 16 hours due to the heavy load.
1951
During Easter in 1951, Rylen transported a horse from Ludvigslyst to Møgelø. What the horse was doing on the island and whether it later redeemed a return ticket is unfortunately not recorded in history.
1962
As the third of the motorboats, Rylen was rebuilt and modernized with a new cabin and wheelhouse, new padded seats, and a new deck.
2007
In 2007, an oil heater was installed on Rylen, allowing the salon to be heated on cool days during the early and late seasons.

When you rent Rylen, 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.
