Established in 1949, Linssen is a thoroughly sound family business. The third generation of Linssens have now taken their first steps on the path taken by their parents and grandparents. Having had intensive training and been brought up among the boats, this young generation is on the starting blocks. They are literally and figuratively ready to take the helm and steer the Linssen course. And just as in the pioneer-ing phase in the years after 1949, continuity remains our top priority in the 21st century. This means that as a client and owner of a Linssen you can rest assured in the knowledge that you have a reliable partner who goes much further than ‘just’ supplying a boat!

Stroll with us through our boatyard and follow the clear processes em-

ployed at Linssen Yachts. See how Linssen’s fine yachts are designed

and built using the latest methods and how they are constructed in a

company in which high-tech technologies and traditional trade crafts go

hand in hand. How production and sophisticated logistical flows have

a positive effect on the overall quality of our product. And how all the

models in our current range are on display in our attractive showroom

and our own marina on the River Meuse in the Dutch Province of Lim-

burg.

The Linssen Grand Sturdy models represent the peak in the Linssen Yachts’ range. The designs are characterised by their attractive, flowing lines and a conspicuous mixture of traditional and modern el ements. The hull is strong and sturdy, with an individual look. The superstructure is elegant yet extremely functional.

The Linssen Grand Sturdy series are yachts of matchless quality intended

for true connoisseurs and genuine enthusiasts. They are sophisticated

boats in which the traditional craft of yacht building is combined with

high tech.

OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO FIND THE PERFECT BOAT THAT'S IN KEEPING WITH ITS OWNER'S SAILING EXPERIENCE.

SLOW DOWN... AND START LIVING!

No two Linssen buyers are alike. They sometimes differ enormously in their tastes and opinions, where they are located, where they sail, even in their country of origin and cultural background. So what is it that causes these totally different personalities to make the same choice – a Linssen – after careful consideration?

Despite their differences, Linssen owners all have the same basic desire:

they want to live without having to rush, without having to cover as

much distance as possible in the shortest amount of time possible. On

the contrary: they in fact arrived at their destination at the very moment

that they decided to purchase their Linssen.

Because from that moment on, the journey itself became their desti-nation.

Things that all Linssen owners appreciate in their boat, whether they’re

trendy or traditionalist. A displacement vessel is a universal concept that

suits every taste. And even though our customers have very different likes

and dislikes, they all recognise the unique Linssen signature; they perceive

the integrity, feel the solid construction and appreciate the rigorous at-

tention to detail and absolute commitment of the people involved in a

process that begins with an order and ends with a boat’s construction and

delivery. They are inspired by the strong, competent look and image of a

genuine Linssen. And that is why you will see Linssen boats everywhere

around Europe, even in the most remote corners.

For Linssen, a comfortable stay on board means that all members of the crew can move about easily, that they have sufficient privacy, and that the facilities satisfy today’s standards of convenience. For example, the light-drenched saloon has ample seating for everyone and a spacious di-nette with enough room to share a hearty breakfast, a tasty lunch or a four-course dinner together. The beds are roomy and ensure a good night’s sleep in spacious, well-appointed cabins. An elegant interior should also offer enough storage space where it is most required, and that means con-veniently placed lockers, clothing lockers, shelves and drawers, all of which go to increasing the level of comfort and convenience.

The Classic Luxury interior is a typical Linssen Grand Sturdy style: the high-

est quality and finishing, with classic lines and materials.

The New Comfort interior is the latest development in yacht interiors:

warm tints, harmonious colour combinations, new materials and forms.

The ultimate synergy of modern technology and a tried and tested concept.

at linssen it’s not just about design,

it’s about real workmanshiP!

A Linssen yacht brings together all the knowledge we have acquired in the 65 years in which we have been building motor yachts. From the tried and tested hull design to the tiniest interior design detail, everything is based on this enormous wealth of experience. The result? An unsurpassed series of luxury motor yachts.

You will revel in the time you spend on deck. The spacious aft deck with

stationary outside dinette is the heart and soul of life on board. Here

you can play cards, have a drink, chart your route, stretch out and read a

good book or have a delicious meal in the romantic glow of the evening

sun. You and your crew can enjoy your wonderful trips together in style

and comfort, with a full view all around. Well-protected, but “outside”

nevertheless!

The stationary stairs to the swimming platform and the exceptionally

elegant Linssen “design” mast give the boats a very distinctive “mini

mega-yacht” look.

Unlike the two smaller models, the Grand Sturdy 500 Variotop® has a large deck saloon with Linssen 's Variotop®! With one press of the switch, the enclosed wheelhouse is trans-formed into an open helmsman's position in a few seconds. The ingenious technology of the patented Linssen Variotop® folds the folding roof up into the elegant Variotop® frame in the blink of an eye.

Are the weather gods leaving you in the lurch? That’s not a problem for you. You can close

the roof in a few seconds without having to stand up from the helmsman’s position and

be sitting inside. Warm and dry. Or is it actually too hot in the sun? Here too you close the

roof completely or leave it open a chink to let in a cooling breeze. And with the conveni-

ent air-conditioning system*, you just set the temperature that you find most comfort-

able. When the roof is open, it disappears into the parking frame which contains a stor-

age compartment. Low bridges are simply not a problem because this parking frame is a

minor technical miracle in itself. It can be moved backwards automatically, allowing the

boat to sail under the low bridge with ease.

The details of each Linssen yacht will determine the final image of your proud possession. A possession supported by a good name and reputa-tion. Linssen Yachts underpins its name and reputation by providing a highly advanced level of after-sales service. However, this is only pos-sible because Linssen Yachts supplies a mature product.

Despite all that we say in our brochure(s) and all our sincere good inten-

tions, things can go wrong even with a Linssen or a breakdown can occur.

It would not be realistic to deny this. Nowadays a luxury motor yacht is a

complex technical unit. But if you experience a technical defect or break-

down, you will really get to know the people at Linssen Yachts.

Still, “worth more” and “added value” may be more subtle concepts than

they first appear. We venture to state in all modesty that Linssen Yachts

is the market leader in its segment. We have achieved this by being self-

critical and setting very high standards for ourselves. Because of this a

certain innovative power arose ‘of its own’ accord which has often made

us trend-setters.

But it also comes from the lesson we learned from Jac. Linssen Senior, who always drummed into us: “… try to give your customer a bit more than you promised him. Then the relationship will never break up…”.

It’s from these simple objectives that we see our mission statement “We

take your pleasure seriously®” now and in future.

we are always at your service...

wherever you are!
