Types of Linssen Boats

Linssen provides a curated and balanced selection of motorboats for charter, specifically engineered for comfort-centric cruising. Unlike manufacturers producing both sailing and motor vessels, Linssen focuses exclusively on steel motor yachts optimized for inland waterways, rivers, lakes, and sheltered coastal zones. They specialize in steel displacement yachts typically spanning 30 to 55 feet (9 to 16 meters) in length.

The Linssen fleet accommodates relaxed cruising across diverse environments, featuring ample living space, secure decks, and outstanding maneuverability. Larger models often include three cabins, making them perfect for families or groups desiring extra privacy. For instance, the Linssen Grand Sturdy 500 AC Variotop showcases the lineup's versatility, offering multiple cabins and adaptable layouts for extended voyages.

Grand Sturdy & SL Series

The Linssen Grand Sturdy series represents the heart of the Linssen yacht charter fleet. These vessels are celebrated for their classic exterior lines, inviting interiors, and superb onboard comfort. With wide side decks, sturdy handrails, and a sheltered aft cockpit, they are ideal for leisurely cruising and frequent marina visits.

Below deck, you will find bright salons, functional galleys, and cozy cabins with generous storage. The layouts are intended for longer stays, making them excellent for extended boating vacations. The forward cabin usually features a large double bed, while the aft cabin provides added privacy—great for families or groups needing personal space. Popular charter models include the Linssen Grand Sturdy 35.0, 40.0, and 45.0. The Linssen Grand Sturdy 45 SL Sedan sleeps 4+2 in three cabins, while the Grand Sturdy 33.9 comfortably accommodates six people.

For those preferring a sleek, contemporary aesthetic, the Linssen SL (Sport Luxury) series blends modern exterior design with stylish interiors, without sacrificing the brand's proven hull shape and cruising stability. These yachts appeal to charter guests who value modern style alongside Linssen's renowned ease of use.

Equipped with efficient diesel engines, bow and stern thrusters, and modern navigation systems, Linssen boats ensure smooth handling even in narrow canals or busy harbors.

Charter Options: Bareboat or Crewed

Linssen charters are available in different formats:

Bareboat Charter: If you have sufficient experience and the necessary licenses, you can rent a Linssen boat and captain it yourself. Some models are designed to be driven without a license on specific European waterways, provided safety standards are met.

Skippered Charter: A professional skipper can be hired for a relaxed, fully guided experience. Hands-on training is often available for beginners, helping you learn essential boating skills.

Certification Requirements

For a bareboat Linssen charter, you typically need:

• A valid motorboat license (requirements vary by country)

• Demonstrable experience with similar-sized vessels

• A VHF radio certificate in certain regions

In many instances, practical introduction courses are provided to ensure you understand safe operation and cruising rules before departing.

If you do not meet these requirements, a skippered charter is always an excellent alternative.

Planning Your Trip

A successful Linssen holiday starts with preparation. Choose the right boat for your group size and experience level. Before leaving, familiarize yourself with the onboard systems—engines and electronics are often intuitive, similar to a car. Plan your route, provisions, and marina stops in advance. Check for amenities like separate heads (toilets) for added comfort.

Monitor your power usage; dimming lights may indicate low batteries, requiring shore power connection or engine operation. Always check essential systems before setting off to ensure a trouble-free vacation.

Linssen boats remove the complexity from boating. Their stable handling and quiet operation allow you to focus entirely on enjoying the journey.
