If you’re looking to buy an Albin 27 boat. You’ve come to the right place.

---

There are two versions of the Albin 27 manufactured: the Albin 27 FC (Family Cruiser) which had an aft cabin capable of housing a partial queen berth; and the Albin 27 Sport ( no aft cabin, large aft cockpit area). Which boat is more desirable depends on the intended use. Generally, the Albin 27FC is chosen for weekend or extended cruising, and the Albin 27 Sport was chosen for more performance.

In the Albin 27FC, the rear cabin is large enough for two adults to sleep. Although the bunks run along the sides of the boat, and up under the cockpit to a certain degree, a center insert can be applied between the bunks converting the rear cabin to an area approximately the size of a full to queen size bed. However, conversion of the two bunks to one large sleeping area removes the possibility of standing head room in the aft cabin. The Albin 27 Sport Cruiser offers a larger cockpit area for fishing and diving and has the same overnight accommodations, minus the aft cabin. Instead of an aft cabin, there are two large storage compartments in aft cockpit area. Factory equipped Sport Cruisers also carried 100 gallons of fuel.

The Albin 27 sold for less than $40,000 in 1988.  Today Albin 27’s can be found for sale across the United States, and typically sell with and without trailers for $15,000-$25,000.  In recent years fully restored and customized Albin 27s have sold in excess of $30,000 without a trailer. As more and more Albin 27 boats are repowered with new engines, their value as a rare well built sub 30 foot diesel cruiser have caused them to become a much sought after pocket trawler. Albin 27 boats should always be valued based on its current condition, not what it once was or could be someday. The boat should first be valued independent of any trailer or dinghy that might be offered in conjunction with the sale of the vessel.
