5. 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 âjustâ supplying a boat!
Stroll with us through our boatyard and follow the clear processes em-
ployed at Linssen Yachts. See how Linssenâs 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.

9. The Linssen Grand Sturdy models represent the peak in the Linssen Yachtsâ
range. The designs are characterised by their attractive, flowing lines and
a conspicuous mixture of traditional and modern elÂements. 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.

Sheâs a Linssen.

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 â a
Linssen â 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.

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 todayâs 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-coursedinnertogether.Thebedsareroomyandensureagoodnightâs
sleep in spacious, well-appointed cabins. An elegant interior should also
offer enough storage space where it is most required, and that means con-
venientlyplacedlockers,clothinglockers,shelvesanddrawers,allofwhich
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.

19. AT LINSSEN ITâS NOT
JUST ABOUT DESIGN,
ITâS 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 âoutsideâ
nevertheless!
The stationary stairs to the swimming platform and the exceptionally
elegant Linssen âdesignâ mast give the boats a very distinctive âmini
mega-yachtâ look.

42. Unlike the two smaller models, the Grand Sturdy 500 VariotopÂź has a large deck saloon
with Linssen 's VariotopÂź! 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 VariotopÂź folds the folding roof up into the elegant VariotopÂź
frame in the blink of an eye.
Are the weather gods leaving you in the lurch? Thatâs not a problem for you. You can close
the roof in a few seconds without having to stand up from the helmsmanâs 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, âworth moreâ and âadded valueâ 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 âof its ownâ 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: â⊠try to give your customer a bit more
than you promised him. Then the relationship will never break upâŠâ.
Itâs from these simple objectives that we see our mission statement âWe
take your pleasure seriouslyÂźâ now and in future.
We are always at
your service...
wherever you are!
