Why we do this.

Heritage

Two 1950s wooden fishing boats. Hand-restored, moored in Nexø's working harbour. Each with a name, a year, and a story.

Sustainability

Upcycled with local FLAG-funding and hard work. Cultural heritage kept afloat, not scrapped.

Vitamin Ø

Vitamin Ø is Danish for island. What it means here: unplugged time, slow water, no notifications.

We moved back to Bornholm to build something quiet.

We are Tobias and Nelly. Nelly is studying to become an environmental engineer. Tobias comes from project management with some of the biggest sports events and athletes in the world.

We wanted to pass on a piece of what Bornholm represents to us — an oasis to reconnect with nature, yourself, and the ones you love the most.
