Albin 30 Family Cruiser
2004–2007
The Albin 30 Family Cruiser is a later American-market successor to the 27 Family Cruiser, combining a deep cockpit and semi-enclosed helm with separate forward and aft sleeping spaces. Its solid-fiberglass modified-V hull, skeg-protected running gear and single diesel emphasize practical family cruising rather than sportfishing specialization. The split-plan interior sleeps up to five in two separated cabin areas.

Best for
- Couples or small families wanting separated sleeping spaces
- Weekend and multi-week inland or coastal cruising
- Buyers wanting more speed than a traditional displacement trawler without twin engines
Trade-offs
- Aft-cabin layout interrupts conventional cockpit-to-cabin flow
- Water and waste tankage are modest for extended cruising
- Ten-foot beam still limits easy road transport
- Production run was short, so model-specific parts can be uncommon
Known concerns
- No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.
Inspection focus
- Confirm engine installation and repower quality
- Inspect deck, cabin-top and window areas for moisture where cored
- Inspect fuel, exhaust, raw-water cooling, shaft and steering systems
- Review wiring, plumbing and owner modifications

About this record
B-Atlas preserves uncertainty: missing information remains unknown rather than being treated as a negative. Specifications and guidance describe the model record; individual boats can differ by year, equipment, refit and condition.
