What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
27 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Solid choice for couples This 1999 Linssen is a dependable motorboat that suits couples or small families who want a relaxed inland waterway cruise rather than coastal sailing. The 10-metre length is very manageable for non-professional skippers, and the bow thruster makes tight canal locks and mooring spots genuinely stress-free.
Classic Dutch comfort You're getting genuine river-cruising heritage here, Linssen builds tanks that last, and this one has the practical essentials: electric toilet, fridge, and a swim platform for hot days. The two-cabin layout works well for short breaks, though sleeping five means at least one cabin gets cosy with kids.
Strong value proposition At this price point with a modest €1400 deposit, you're paying sensibly for a workhorse boat on European inland routes. Running costs are straightforward, fuel-efficient, and the build quality means fewer surprise maintenance hiccups mid-charter.
Age is the honest trade-off She's over 25 years old, so while Linssens age well, systems like the radio-CD and galley appliances feel period-appropriate rather than modern. Check the engine service history carefully and budget a little extra for any unexpected repairs, older motorboats occasionally surprise you with creaky bits.
