What can I say? It's just brilliant and totally comfortable. Seriously convincing and yes.... fantastic roof!

This yacht is absolutely perfect in terms of long distance travel. Gorgeous.

🤫All Linssens are beautifully "modest" looking externally and luxurious internally. A real sign of class! Just a small Dutch Cruiser.🤫

Good morning! 😃

I've been on several linssen's over the years and I am always amazed about how much they get into their steel hulled boats which I hasten to add are so easy to drive. Another great tour nick of a wonderful Dutch cruising yacht.

With all the sleek stylish modern yachts when I see one like this I get all excited for some reason!

I admired one of these from afar as it was moored close to me once, always fancied a look inside and never did until now, wow it didn’t disappoint. Absolutely lovely, again quality shines through. Thanks for that.

You could quite easily cruise across The Channel, then on down the french canals, come out into the Med, then work your way around the Spanish coast & back up past France & the Channel Islands in this! What a lovely live-aboard vessel!

I love this type of boat. Reminds me of a Targa boat.

This is the dream... WOW works well in eastern part of Canada. Thank you!

Love the convertible roof! It would be a real drag (literally, aerodynamic drag) on a fast cruiser, but on something like this it's perfect! For American viewers surprised by the separate shower and toilet: that's very much a Dutch thing (don't know about other European countries). Typical Dutch homes have two water closets (toilet rooms), one downstairs and one upstairs, and then a separate room for the shower or bath with a sink upstairs.

You had me at the Vara-Top. Nothing could match that. Then we went below decks to a sizable salon, a comfy dining area and well laid out galley. With the guests comfortably cared for in the forward quarters, seeing the owner's cabin is a delight. Sadly, you've made a title error - stating the boat is a mere 48 feet. It is obviously a sixty eight footer. NO? It's forty eight? Yeow - that is SWELL. Many thanks to all at Linssen and to you Nick, for making this video happen.

Not the fun in the sun speed demon so many think they need. That's ok, wave at them as they blow by you, wave at them as they keep stopping for fuel, wave at them as you just leisurely motor around enjoying life on the water as they go blowing back to their hectic lives. Love this boat, thanks for bringing it to us.

This boat is My kind of coffe, a chilling crouiser with no stress.. Perfect for a family of five.

The GA is so clever and yet I always imagine these as river boats "only". Would love to see more of a trawler style design from Linssen. Wonderful tour, thanks a lot.

Ahh I forgot about the great river systems in Europe! That explains the convertible top. On a river even if a tree falls through the top you just have to make it to the next marina

My God, that boat is unbelievable. Unique. I love that galley/lounge area; really cozy, for lack of a better word. I could see traveling south Florida and the Keys for a few months with that boat. Turn the twin cabin to a small office, make some room in it for dry goods storage and some cold storage and let it rip. Your videos keep getting better and better, Nick. Thank you.

Well I'm with you Nick . . . love that true convertible style roof. I'm not a big fan of climbing up and down to a flybridge and this eliminates that need. Also impressed with the interior layout and that stand alone shower compartment with the hidden laundry. Somebody's wife had some input there (lol). But seriously, this would be an ideal summer live-aboard for the Great Lakes Region of Canada, which can be subject to some pretty rough weather. I'd feel very comfortable and safe in this vessel. It's won a spot on my "favourites" list.

This is a true beauty. Nice woodworks, luxurious cabins real classy. and then the funcionality of a cabrio. Well done Linssen and thanks for the tour.

I don’t even like boating but I love your boat reviews lol

And indeed the roof solution. Brilliant!

Hi Nick, And thank you for this great show of this beautiful Linssen Grand Sturdy 480 Variotop my favourite yacht and to see Europe in a slow speed I like the 2 bedrooms with there own head the Variotop witch is insulated so cruising the year around I think there was a second fridge next to the wine cooler hope to see more of those dutch build yacht on your channel Thanks again Nick ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Like this boat the roof is a great idea for this boat she very versatile. Nice cabin and salon layout and it feels light and airy. I can see why you like it.

Now that's my kind of boat... Stunning! Maybe a few treaks for personal tastes but that is a cracking design! Looks like loads of fun 🙂

You forgot to mention that the whole installation where the roof folds into itself ALSO can be lowered. This allows for cruising through France as it lowers the draft to below 3,5m (if you lower the mast also).

Superb tour of a wonderful boat. It’s not my cup of tea, but if it’s the style you’re looking for I doubt you’d find better. The roof is such a simple idea (with clever engineering) that I’m surprised more manufacturers don’t offer it.

What a beautiful cruiser! Everything you need solidly built and very ergonomic! With a sunroof. Great tour as always. Thank you and have a great weekend one and all.

You forgot to mention the folding Radar Mast for lowering the height of the vessel whilst travelling under bridges on the canals or inland waters

The folding top is smart

This boat looks amazing. Would love to see more from this builders and other boats that are similar. Slow, live aboard boating is the best.

Amazing review, Nick. I like how these Linssen yachts are different.

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 so on this boat what can I say. For me typically this is not my type and style of boat to which that I'd aspire, but saying that this boat I like. I like the layout very much and the roof I've got to say I'm with you on that one Mr Burnham sir 🤗 plenty of room plenty of storage, I always like the splitting of the shower and toilet seems more practical to me. My only downside on this one for me would be the speed, but that's only because I'd feel more comfortable with the ability to out run the weather for example I have no problems with normal operation at lower speeds. Again Nick thank you for a great tour ❤️ Aquaholics as ever keep up with the good work sir 👌🖖

Great tour Nick! This boat is splendid! I want one!

Lovely boat nick ⛵️🚤🛥👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thats the type of boat I really love, Nick, thanks for the "quality" tour!

How lovely. Strikes me as a sailing yacht that's not bu layout (rear owners, living central etc. Really like it Nick - ta! 🙂

I really like the of the separation of the head and shower forward. It makes it easier for 2 cabins to share toilet and shower facilities. It seems that they used to do that more often on boats. But now seems there has to be a full bathroom for each compartment. It seems wasteful to me, especially when the whole boat doesn't seem over large.

Wow it's the kind of boat that keeps on giving. Every time you think OK, that's that, there is another cabin with another extra feature you don't even see on bigger boats ...

Very cool video, and one of the best with this channel is the variation in boats and pricelevel.

Hi Nick, an absolute gem of a boat, and my favoured galley below set up. A great inland/estuary boat for Northern waters. A few tweaks in owners cabin for wardrobe space and its virtually ready for extended stays abourd. Cheers DougT

Keep up the great work!

My cars have been doing that roof trick for decades. I too have wondered why nobody is using the same technology on certain yacht types. Brilliant indeed, I would've like to have seen the roof extend back to the closed position. Have a wonderful week Nick.

finally a linssen!

What the heck, a rear convertible pilothouse? Mast on the foredeck? Interesting! I want one.

First Linssen I have seen and it is impressive, and an interesting alternative to the trawler-type of displacement boats.

Linssen great yachts… glad to see it in review by you 😁 live very close to the builder here in Maasbracht Netherlands. Not cheap but great value for money. One of the best “tradtional” design yachts.

Beautiful, very homely and comfortable inside. As you say a live aboard. When I saw the inner lining on the wheel house roof I thought "Convertible roof, just like a car". And your right why hasn't It been done more often. But I will say they can be troublesome if not set up and adjusted correctly. Id hate to have it decide not to close as a rain squall arrives on the horizon. But I'm sure Linnsen's is one of the best. Love it.
