Lengers Yachts opens office in Knokke-Heist

Lengers Yachts, de exclusieve dealer van luxe Italiaanse en Franse motorjachten, opent in het Belgische Knokke-Heist vanaf 1 juli een vestiging om vanuit daar de Belgische markt aan te sturen. Doordat in Duitsland en Nederland de vraag naar motorjachten in het topsegment de laatste jaren enorm is toegenomen, kwam de high-end, exclusieve yacht dealer handen tekort om ook de zuiderburen voldoende te kunnen bedienen. Maar daar is verandering in gekomen…

Welcome to the club

The Belgian Philippe Van de Ryse will become the Sales Director for Lengers Yachts in Belgium, taking on the daily management of the Knokke-Heist Het Zoute office. CEO Bas Lengers: "In Belgium you have to be a Belgian to achieve anything there, it's all about knowing people there. With his extensive network and work experience in Knokke and far beyond, Philippe is the right man in the right place." For the branch, Lengers was able to secure premises on the Zeedijk, an absolute A-location in the affluent seaside resort, "a place where everyone passes by." At this fulcrum, where renovations are currently in full swing, video screens will be hung and scale models of the brands Lengers Yachts represents, among other things.

They are: Sanlorenzo, a boutique company in the yacht industry that annually builds a select number of unique series-built composite yachts with custom interiors; Bluegame (100% subsidiary of Sanlorenzo), which excels in a tough, completely innovative concept , sturdy and seaworthy, an absolute new milestone in yacht design; Prestige, which stands out for its unique quality-to-price ratio, with a stunning collection from 42 to 70 ft and SACS, the top in the field of fully custom-built RIB boats. From July 1, 2021, the doors will open in Knokke and the arriving Belgian clientele can look forward to a warm welcome. Lengers: "That's where the contacts are made and the interest piqued, then the customer comes to Muiden or goes with us directly to the shipyard in France or Italy to test sail."

As a first, the Bluegame BGX60 will be festively presented this summer. The BGX60 is a follow-up to the huge success of the BGX70, of which thirteen units have already been sold. She is the first powerboat to definitively compete with flybridge yachts. During 2021, the Sanlorenzo 90A and the Bluegame BG72 - firsts Cannes Yachting Festival - , and Prestige 690 - Lengers Boatshow 2021 - April 2021 will also be released. Not only is Lengers Yachts expanding its portfolios, in addition to the new location in Knokke-Heist, an office in Munich will be opened later this year. A branch in Helsinki is also planned. Many companies and sectors have had a bad year; corona, on the other hand, has not taken hold of the luxury yacht sector. Lengers: "We did very well last year and also started 2021 extremely well. We have already been able to record a huge number of transactions. Now that we are also going to focus intensively on the Belgian market, the expectation is that inquiries will only increase."
