Ocean Saloon is a members-only yacht, operated af sailed by members for members
Ocean Saloon sails under the Danish flag and is based in Østerbro in Copenhagen. A yacht like this is unique and stunningly beautiful with its classic lines, familiar from the 60's. Built from precious woods such as mahogany and teak, at 87 feet she is one of the largest of her kind in the world.
Little has changed since 1964 when it was built and we aim to keep it just as it is. M/Y Ocean Saloon is operated by the Ocean Association, a non-profit Organization whose purpose, according to its bylaws, is to preserve, maintain and operate the M/Y Ocean Saloon as a seaworthy yacht worthy of preservation, for the enjoyment of its members, their guests, and all who support the preservation of the yacht.
