Since the introduction of the first generation Grand Sturdy 500 AC Variotop® in 1996, this model has acquired a special status in the market. It is an exceptional model in its class, partly as a result of the unique Linssen Variotop®.

This yacht is a unique, exclusive, timeless and value-retaining boat. Proud owners keep telling us how heads turn when they sail by and these owners are more than willing to allow others to visit their yachts on our behalf.

The Linssen Grand Sturdy 550 is a true evergreen
Thanks to its dimensions and the comfort on board, the Grand Sturdy 550 AC Variotop® is a real allrounder, suitable for short or long voyages on all waterways. For instance, you can sail the Grand Sturdy 550 not only on French inland waterways, but also in coastal areas and at sea. The hull shape provides optimal interior space, which is used to the full.
Thanks to the patented Variotop®, you can change the enclosed wheelhouse into an open helmsman’s position at the press of a button.
The layout has been very well thought-out: the yacht has three spacious cabins, a well-equipped galley and high-quality appliances, such as a washer dryer and TV/media. Furthermore, the Grand Sturdy 550 is fitted with the new Linssen climate control system, which again proves that this yacht is suitable for all climates, waterways and users.
