HISTORY OF THE VESSEL
Cargo Ship, Anna Marie of Donsö, Sweden was built by Trellevarvet in Kallandsø, Sweden in 1964. She served as a tanker ship and transported oil to larger tanker ships throughout the Gulf of Bothnia.
The ship was completely disassembled in 1988, and only the original 40-ton keel was saved. A brand new sailing yacht was built on top of this keel with the design inspired by the original ship. It took 2.5 years to complete the build and was ready to sail in 1991.
In 2001 she became Ann-Mari of Svendborg, Denmark, and in 2019 she became Stella Oceana of Tromsø, Norway. The ship has sailed in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
In 2021, several upgrades were made to both the interior and exterior of the ship including the addition of a hot tub, a seating area and outdoor kitchen in the top deck, an extra crew cabin and storage room, a guest shower room, 2 kayaks and SUP boards, a Bluetooth surround sound system in the main saloon, a new primary generator, a new washing machine, extra refrigerators and freezers, and a new 4-meter tender boat for up to 9 people.
