Welcome to Linjett

Sailing enthusiasm and quality.

from the oldest boatyard in Sweden

You will never want to go ashore

Our grandfather would say that we build such fine boats because we have such good customers. At the time we didn't really understand, but today we do. Our success is thanks to the great relationship we have with each of our customers, and we are proud of the personal and dedicated service we offer them. Since the boat yard opened in 1886, we have had a time-honoured tradition of close contact with all our customers and adapting each boat specifically to their needs. By ensuring every element of the boat is completed in-house – from development and design, to production and aftercare – our customers have a constant connection to the boat yard, which allows us to keep our quality high and prices low. We build what we believe in - small scale production done to the highest quality – which is why our Linjett yachts have remained among the fastest in their classes for almost 50 years. – Markus Gustafsson (CEO), Daniel Gustafsson & Kristoffer Gustafsson

Linjetts 50th Anniversary Celebrations

To commemorate the occasion Linjett celebrated with three days of festivities in August. We started by inviting all our employees to a 50th birthday party. On day two, we opened the boatyard to the public, organizing a range of activities and hosting a packed stage show. The Swedish comedian Kristoffer Appelquist invited interesting guests to a stage build by the deck of a L39! On the dock all Linjett models that have been built since the start in 1973 were on display.

L39 wins European Yacht of the Year

We are so happy to announce that the Linjett 39 won the European Yacht of the Year 2023 in the category “Family Cruiser”. Thank you to all who has congratulated us and for all your kind words!

The verdict from the German journalist and jury member Jochen Rieker: “The Swedish boat hits the magic point between family, luxury and performance and excels in so many ways that you can definitely recommend it to your closest friends.”

The Norwegian journalist and jury member Axel Nissen-Lie’s verdict: “A fast luxury yacht that is also the best family yacht… timeless. Linjett won on quality.”

Selected journalist tests of the Linjett 39

Hauke Smidth from the German magazine YACHT and Toby Hodges from the English magazine Yachting World have both posted video tests, watch them below! Sam Jefferson from Sailing Today was one of the first to sail the Linjett 39 and you can read the full test on their website, linked below. You can find all the posted articles under the model page for Linjett 39.

Toby Hodges, Yachting World (ENG)

"What a Swedish gem! Fast cruising, superior comfort and premium quality build - the Linjett 39 exudes class..." - Toby Hodges, Yachting World

Video by YACHT tv (GER)

"...was für eine Yacht, was für eine Bootsbaukunst! Seht es euch an!" - YACHT

Sam Jefferson, Sailing Today (ENG)

"The Linjett 39 proved itself to be a lively performer for a big boat; close winded and sensitive, with decent amounts of acceleration and the ability to ghost through the puffs." - Sam Jefferson, Sailing Today, UK

Good as it gets, sailing Linjetts

The boat yard has a great relationship with their customers, who are all welcomed into the Linjett family when they become an owner of one of our yachts.

Throughout the whole ownership of the yacht, we encourage our customers to leave their own imprint  and become an integral part of their boat’s journey – from design and build, right through to support and servicing, the close contact we have with each individual customer is what makes Linjett a success. No Linjett has ever left Rosättra without having some part of its owner stamped on it, which is why deviating from the standard, is the standard with Linjett.

Success In The Details

From its humble beginnings in 1886 as a small Swedish boat yard, to its renowned reputation today as one of the most established and quality boat builders in the world, the Rosättra Boat Yard has overcome financial crises and world conflicts for nearly 135 years. It has managed to carve out this success by ensuring an attention to detail and level of customer service that can only come from five generations of the same families working in partnership with their customers. And today, this dedicated family team still retain their focus on tradition and service while also driving Linjett forward through innovative design and smart solutions.

With our customers at the very centre of our business, we invite you to visit us and experience for yourselves the high quality style and grace of Linjett by meeting with our design and engineering teams or test sailing one of our models and viewing our previously-owned yachts. We will always have time to welcome you to Rosättra Boat Yard.

"Generations of experience and craftsmanship are the hallmarks of a boat yard that has entered its third century of boat building, however the relationship and communication between a customer and boatbuilder is just as important. It is our sense of responsibility and duty of care to our customers and our boats that make us unique." Markus Gustafsson, CEO, Rosättra Boatyard AB

We Care For Your Boat

It is our responsibility to make the ownership of your yacht as easy and as safe as possible. Having your yacht looked after by a team that know it as well as you, is a unique opportunity for Linjett owners and has been a signature service at Rosättra for nearly 135 years. No question or concern is too big or too small for our customers, as we care as much for your Linjett as you do.

Berth & Winter Storage

Service & maintenance, damage & repair.

Linjett Brokerage

Looking for an almost new Linjett? We are regularly the first to be informed when a Linjett owner considers selling their yacht as we like to take the responsibility of servicing and checking every previously owned yacht before they change hands. Buying a boat from the manufacturer gives all parties comfort and trust in the process, and we are more than happy to assist you in finding your next Linjett.

One of the relatively few manufacturers of sailing yachts that uses aluminum is VK Yachts. Vassilis Kostoulas, a boat designer and builder, thinks aluminum is the best material for making boats. The VK 35 Aluminum Performance Sailing Yacht, the business’s flagship sailing boat, is highly popular and has inspired the creation of several additional boat types since it was founded in 2010. Despite being relatively new to the idea of employing aluminum, the company has been using it from its founding.

Arcona Yachts

Arcona Yachts strives to become experts in their field in order to offer the greatest cruiser and racer sailboat fusion. Arcona Yachts is regarded as one of the top manufacturers of sailing vessels in Sweden because of its dedication to high quality. The business was founded in the 1970s by entrepreneur Torgny Janson, and it now offers a variety of attractive sailing yachts in a variety of sizes.

Fabola Yachts

Fabola was the first company to develop non-sinkable sailing yachts and has been producing sailing yachts in Sweden since 1958. They provide a variety of models, such as the Campus 7.4, Diva 24 DC, Diva 34 SC, and Diva 40 SC. With a retractable keel, these boats are lightweight, manageable, and excellent for coastal sailing in shallow waters.

In conclusion, Sweden has a long history of boat building, and several well-known sailboat brands are based there. There are several options to pick from, ranging from Hallberg-Rassy to Fabola Yachts, each with its own own history, quality, and performance. Swedish sailboat brands are ideal for you, whether you are an experienced sailor or a novice boater. Anyone searching for a high-quality, well-designed, and adaptable boat should strongly consider a Swedish sailboat. You can be sure that you are purchasing a yacht that will last for many years of sailing adventures because to their reputation for excellence, attention to detail, and exceptional customer service.

10 Best Sailboat Brands (And Why)

Last Updated by

Daniel Wade

December 20, 2023

‍ There's no denying that sailors are certainly a passionate bunch. We’re so passionate about our boats that we always try going for the best sailboats. To make it a lot easier for you, here are the best sailboat brands.

Owning a sailboat is an indulgence that many of us only dream about but very few ever have the privilege of sailing the seas in what they can actually call their own.

While there's nothing wrong with renting a sailboat, the honor of owning one is certain what many sailors dream of.

With a perfectly crafted sailboat as company, gliding through the water, waves, and wind brings some sort of unmatched comfort and peace.

Add this to the fact that sailing takes you far away from the daily hustles and bustles that we've become accustomed to in our daily lives and you'll see why the life of sailing is very appealing to the masses.

But without a proper sailboat, all this fun and the good life of sailing are thrown out of the window.

Contrary to the widespread opinion, owning a sailboat isn't beyond anyone's reach. It's something that we can all achieve. But before getting into that, it's important to know some of the best sailboat brands.

The best sailboat brands will make your life as a sailor a lot easier and more fun. The best sailboat brands have, for decades if not centuries, mastered the art of woodworking. They've dedicated their skills and immense amount of their time to designing and manufacturing nothing but the best quality of sailboats in the industry.

So if you've been looking for the best sailboat brands from all over the world, you've come to the right place. We'll discuss the best of the best, something that will give you a perfect getaway from your normal life.

Table of contents

‍ Must-Have Features for Your Sailboat

Before highlighting the best sailboat brands, it would be appropriate to jog your mind a little with some of the features that must be available in your sailboat.

Choosing a sailboat can sometimes be a matter of compromises. In other words, it's sometimes sensible to accept that a sailboat cannot have all the features that you desire.

As such, it's all about going with a sailboat that has the features that matter to you most.

For this reason, let's look at the most basic features that can make the difference in both safety and comfort while improving your sailing experience.

A Safe and Comfortable Sailing Cockpit

You'll most definitely be spending a huge amount of time in the cockpit. Whether you're keeping watch, trimming sails , helming, or just enjoying the scenery, there's no better place to do all these than from the cockpit. That being said, a good cockpit should have the following.

• Have a good depth for safety reasons and adequate drainage
• Should give you a quick and easy access to jammers, cleats, and other important parts of the winch system
• Should have a seat or seats that are about 35 cm high, 50 to 55 cm wide to provide ideal support
• The seats should be adjustable to offer maximum comfort and allow you to change your position

GPS Chartplotter

Use a GPS Chartplotter once and your sailing will never be the same without it. It not only allows you to map a course but is also a great way of ensuring that your sailboat exactly follows that course. It also gives you constant updates on ocean conditions, weather conditions , and potential hazards such as deadly currents and sandbars.

A GPS Chartplotter is also an important safety device that can help you in some very critical situations while out there on the water.

For instance, it has a man-overboard button that is essentially meant to allow you to receive coordinates of the exact location should someone fall off your boat.

Electric Winch System

This is an amazing addition to any sailboat. It allows you to sheet a jib even in high and strong winds with a simple press of a button. It also gives you the chance of trimming a mainsail easily while still carry out other essential tasks in the sailboat.

An electric winch system can be of great importance, especially if you're short on crew. This is because it can free up some crew members to carry other important tasks. In other words, it can make duties that would otherwise require more crew members a lot easier.

More importantly, an electric winch system can maintain safety even in the roughest of conditions, thereby preventing you and your crew from getting injured. In essence, an electric winch system will make your sailing a lot safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable.

Reverse Osmosis Watermaker

This is a very valuable accessory, especially if you're going on long sea voyages. You can spend days on end without drinking clean and safe water.

As the name suggests, you can use this accessory to turn seawater into purified drinking water. It uses the reverse osmosis method that's essential not only in removing bacteria and parasites from the water but also in turning the water into purified and safe drinking water.

Even though this device is pricey, it's a great way to mitigate the over-reliance on huge water tanks. All you have to do is to ensure that it's properly maintained and you'll have an endless streak of safe drinking water no matter where you are.

Wide and Clutter-free Deck

While the deck is often an overlooked feature of a sailboat, it can be the difference between a great sailing experience and a stressful one. In essence, the deck of a sailboat should be wide enough and clutter-free.

This is significant as it can enable you to quickly access different parts of your sailboat with hindrance or getting tangled. As you can see, this is particularly important in improving safety and reducing stress.

With that in mind, make sure that the deck is organized in such a way that you can have easy access to sails, masts, and winches.

You should, therefore, avoid sailboats with decks that are designed in such a way that you have to climb on top of the cabin just to access these features. Needless to say, this can be quite unstable and very dangerous especially when conditions are rough.

The Best Sailboat Brands and Why

1. hallberg-rassy.

Hallberg-Rassy is a Swedish yacht maker that's very well-known in the blue water cruising circles for making some of the highest quality and sturdiest sailboats. For many sailors, this is the number one sailboat brand as it offers absolute comfort, utmost safety, and good and easy handling.

This brand is not only synonymous with sturdy construction but you won't worry getting soaking wet while out there on the water. This is because it has a well-protected deck and cockpit, finished with nice woodwork, and has a powerful engine with a big tankage just to ensure that you can go on long voyages.

When designing its sailboats, this brand has made it a norm to add some features that stand out from the rest. For instance, the bowsprit is an integral feature that makes sailing a Hallberg-Rassy quite easy and much enjoyable. This is because it grants easy access to and from the deck. Its electric anchor winches facilitate smooth maneuvering. Even more, its large steering wheels makes it much easier to control the boat even in the roughest of conditions. In essence, this brand has features that provide good control and an extra sense of safety.

Although this brand has evolved over the years, you'll easily recognize it even from a distance. And why is this? A Hallberg-Rassy never goes out of style. This is a unique sailboat brand that has always stayed true to its principles and concept. No matter which part of the world you go, Hallberg-Rassy will remain the undisputed king of blue water cruising.

Using 100% French know-how, this brand has brought to the sailing world some of the best boats such as the Santorini, the Mango, the Super Maramu, and the Maramu. We would be doing this brand total injustice if we said that they're distinctive. Truth be told, there's nothing comparable to an Amel model. Well Amel was and still is, the ultimate standard by which other sailboat models are measured.

From items such as electric winches and furling, to generators, Watermaker , and washing machine down to the simplest of items such as towels. Spare filters, bathrobes, deck brush, and a boat safe, the Amel is in reality with what the real life of a sailor is and should be.
