Mercury Marine becomes exclusive supplier for Linssen Yachts
Linssen Yachts has announced that Mercury Marine will be its exclusive supplier of diesel inboard engines beginning with the 2022 model year.
Linssen is a builder of steel hull displacement yachts, based in Maasbracht, Holland, while Wisconsin-based Mercury, a division of Brunswick Corporation, is a leading builder of recreational marine propulsion engines.
“Mercury is thrilled to partner with Linssen Yachts, a driving force behind innovations in yacht building,” says 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.
Linssen says the Mercury Diesel 2.0 115HP inboard engine will be integrated with Linssen’s Grand Sturdy, SL, Variotop and Variodeck model series from 40 feet upwards by the end of 2022.
Linssen cited Mercury’s “excellence in a variety of categories”, including fuel economy, durability and corrosion resistance, as an important factor in the partnership decision.
“We will pair our expertise in new‑product design with Mercury’s expertise in propulsion systems and integrated parts‑and‑service platforms,” says Yvonne Linssen, commercial director for Linssen Yachts. “We are excited about this strategic partnership and convinced it will result in enhanced product quality and better overall experiences for consumers.”
