1987 Linssen Vlet 1000

This 1987 Linssen Vlet 1000 is a steel-hulled cruiser built for reliable operation in coastal and river waters. At just over 32 feet long with an 11-foot beam, the boat combines robust construction with comfortable, functional interior spaces. Power comes from a single Volvo diesel engine producing 86 horsepower, paired with a bronze three-blade propeller, bow thruster, and Aquadrive coupling.

The boat offers two pilot stations—one sheltered indoors with hydraulic steering and engine controls, and an exterior station with a teak helm chair and taud canopy. The teak-planked deck features a spacious cockpit, teak table with seating, and a full teak swimming platform with ladder access. Navigation equipment includes a Raymarine sounder and VHF radio, with a manual windlass and dual anchors for ground tackle.

Below deck, the layout comprises a main saloon with U-shaped banquette, teak coffee table, and multiple opening portholes, plus a well-equipped galley with three-burner stove, oven, refrigerator, and hot water system. Two cabins provide sleeping accommodations—an aft cabin with a central double berth and an open forward cabin with a lateral double berth. A single head with shower serves both areas. Recent mattresses and new curtains improve comfort throughout.

The mechanical and electrical systems reflect recent maintenance. The Volvo engine, at 5,930 hours, has current professional servicing. Spring 2023 saw full hull sanding and epoxy primer coating. An alternator was renewed in 2023, exhaust line in 2018, and the engine water pump replaced recently. The boat carries a Victron 12V/220V charger-inverter, dual batteries, and shore power connection with differential protection.
