Mercury Marine becomes exclusive supplier of diesel inboard engines for Linssen Yachts

Linssen Yachts, a builder of steel hull displacement yachts in Maasbracht, Holland, today announced that Mercury Marine will be its exclusive supplier of diesel inboard engines beginning with the 2022 model year.

“Mercury is thrilled to partner with Linssen Yachts, a driving force behind innovations in yacht building,” said Will Sangster, Mercury Marine president EMEA. “The Linssen team’s commitment to superior quality, matched with Mercury’s advanced offerings, will deliver outstanding value, performance, and owner satisfaction. Mercury’s diesel inboards offer the lowest sound levels, advanced control systems, outstanding performance and exceptional fuel economy, making them the perfect match with the Linssen brand,” Sangster said.

The Mercury Diesel 2.0 115HP inboard engine will be the first to be integrated with Linssen’s Grand Sturdy, SL, Variotop and Variodeck model series from 40-foot upwards by the end of 2022.

Linssen cited Mercury’s excellence in a variety of categories as an important factor in the partnership decision. Mercury diesel inboards feature exceptional fuel economy, unparalleled durability and corrosion resistance, a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system to minimize Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH), and SmartCraft Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) technology. Additionally, Mercury’s global service and dealer network allows consumers to easily arrange service and repairs.

Yvonne Linssen, commercial director for Linssen Yachts, shared her enthusiasm about the new partnership. “We will pair our expertise in new product design with Mercury’s expertise in propulsion systems and integrated parts and service platforms,” Linssen said. “We are excited about this strategic partnership and convinced it will result in enhanced product quality and better overall experiences for consumers.”
