Marstal Havn

Marstal is located on the southeastern part of Ærø in the border area between the South Funen Archipelago and and the Baltic Sea with entry from the Baltic Sea into a narrow ledge marked dugout called Marstal Søndre Løb.

Marstal was previously one of Denmark's leading maritime cities, and many ships have had their home port in Marstal. The harbor is still home to about half a hundred coasters / freighters. Maritime navigation is still the lifeblood of the city with shipyards, shipping companies and not least the Navigation School , which for more than a hundred years has trained navigators for the Danish merchant navy. Marstal is a cozy town with alleys and narrow streets.

Marstal Sailing Club has a home port in Marstal harbor.
