The sky above is cobalt blue, and there’s a light breeze at the waterfront that makes a familiar sound in the mast stays of the boats. It’s the perfect start to a perfect journey.

“Always try to give your customers a bit more than you promised them. In this way you will win loyal customers." Jac. Linssen sr. * 24.01.1922 - † 19.03.2020

Linssen Yachts is one of the oldest yacht builders in the Netherlands. So it’s a company with a rich tradition. The business was established in 1949 by Jac. Linssen Sr. in Maasbracht, a small but dynamic harbour town on the River Meuse in Limburg, in the heart of the largest continuous boating area in the Netherlands, the Maasplassen lakes.

Linssen Yachts has now become the market leader in Europe for the construction of steel yachts and produces approximately 70 yachts between 9 and 16 metres each year entirely inhouse. The Linssen boatyard is an imposing complex of over 45,000 m2 in area. Spread over two locations, all production is in-house. Linssen Yachts has about 30-35 yachts in production at any one time.
