Linssen Yachts appoints Dogus Marine as official distributor for Turkey

A strong partner for a strategic market
Dogus Marine was established with the ambition to provide a fully integrated, premium service infrastructure for yacht owners in Turkey. The company delivers extensive services including maintenance, repairs, periodic servicing, on‑shore and off‑shore support, and yacht assistance - supported by a trained technical team and modern facilities.
While Dogus Marine represents several international brands, Linssen Yachts is the only steel motor yacht brand in its portfolio, giving the Dutch shipyard a unique positioning in a market traditionally dominated by composite yachts.

Dutch craftsmanship arrives in Turkey
Linssen Yachts is internationally recognized for its high‑strength steel hulls, excellent cruising characteristics and timeless design philosophy. The company has been building steel displacement yachts for more than 76 years in its own shipyard in Maasbracht and is regarded as a benchmark within the European inland and coastal cruising segment. The Turkish market represents both a culturally rich and strategically valuable region for steel motor yachts. The distribution agreement reflects a long‑term, premium‑focused growth vision shared by both Linssen Yachts and Dogus Marine.

First Linssen yachts already delivered
Linssen is not completely new in Turkey. At the end of 2025 two new Linssen Grand Sturdy 500 Sedan Variodeck yachts were delivered to new owners in Turkey—demonstrating a strong initial demand for high‑end steel motor yachts.

Statements from both companies
Ali Bilaloğlu, CEO of Doğuş Otomotiv, emphasized the importance of the partnership: “Linssen Yachts, with its engineering excellence, durability, and comfort‑focused approach, is regarded as a benchmark in the steel motor yacht segment. This partnership brings a timeless and long‑lasting brand into our premium portfolio.”
Yvonne Linssen, Managing Director of Linssen Yachts, highlighted the strategic relevance of Turkey: “With almost 77 years of experience in steel motor yacht construction, we are delighted to bring our heritage to a market with a strong maritime culture and great potential. We are confident that Dogus Marine will represent the Linssen quality philosophy with the utmost professionalism.”

Strengthening Linssen Yachts’ European network
By adding Dogus Marine to its network of long‑established European partners, Linssen Yachts reinforces its commitment to delivering exceptional customer experience beyond its home market. The brand continues to invest in sustainable international expansion, ensuring that Linssen owners worldwide benefit from consistent quality, service excellence and long‑term support.
