The Linssen Yachts Season Opening Boat Show will take place from 20 to 25 March 2026 at the shipyard in Maasbracht. Every day between 10 am and 4 pm, visitors can view new and used yachts, take test drives and participate in factory tours. Admission is free; registration is recommended. The highlight of the event is the world première of the Grand Sturdy 35.1 AC, the first model in the new .1 series. The yacht will be presented in the hull colour Mystic Green and the interior concept Sandstone Serenity. "The season opening is a special moment every year. It is the moment when we can share our passion for yacht building with our guests," explains Yvonne Linssen. The new series brings with it technical innovations that go beyond mere appearance.

Technical innovations of the .1 series

The Grand Sturdy 35.1 AC is equipped with a Yanmar 4JH80 engine with electronic control. All models in the new .1 series have a heat-insulating coating and lithium-ion batteries. These components are designed to improve comfort and performance. The Sandstone Serenity interior concept combines warm colours with modern design. The hull colour Mystic Green is available for the first time. Yvonne Linssen emphasises: "This year, we are particularly proud of the premiere of the Grand Sturdy 35.1 AC: a model that perfectly embodies our innovative strength and our love of timeless design." The technical improvements are aimed at higher energy efficiency and lower operating costs.

Programme & test drives

Visitors can view various yachts in different designs and lengths. Test drives take place accompanied by experienced Linssen skippers. The sailing characteristics of the yachts and their low noise levels can be experienced directly. Seminars on water sports are offered in the showroom. Guided tours of the factory at fixed times provide an insight into production and craftsmanship at Linssen. The event is aimed at anyone interested in finding out about new products or purchasing a yacht. The range includes both new builds and used models. The shipyard is located at Brouwersstraat 17 in Maasbracht in the Netherlands.
