A resounding scoop: at MASTERS EXPO the design of Lengers Yachts' first own ship was launched: the Stratos Dutch Built 50. “For those who want the best of the best.” Director-owner Bas Lengers about the realization of his dream.

During the 2021 edition of MASTERS EXPO, I was at the Lengers Yachts stand in conversation with Bas Lengers. This was interrupted by an employee who excitedly shouted “he's here, Bas” and placed a show display case with a model boat on our table. It was actually not intended for my eyes, but now that it was there… “This will be our first own yacht,” the CEO of the now internationally operating yachting company confided to me. “Devised and developed by the top of the Dutch yacht building industry. It should be ready in 2023. I can't say more about it now, except that there was no budget for quality. Everything I think should be in a ship is in it.” It is now ten months later. I am once again sitting at the table with Bas, this time in his office in Muiden, with an opened laptop in front of me on which a video is playing of the arrival of the hull of the yacht in Lelystad, Lengers' new yard, but more about that later. “This was quite a moment, you know. The first child is born!”

Highest quality standards

Bas does not hide the fact that it has always been his dream to launch his own ship. And now it's here: the Stratos. “I felt that the market was missing a tough and robust ship that is truly seaworthy and built at superyacht level. A ship that allows you to go out in all weather conditions, an SUV on the water. I dare say with certainty that the Stratos Dutch Built 50 is the most seaworthy ship in its class. It boasts the highest quality standards, CE classification A, which means it can handle wind force of more than 8 on the Beaufort scale and waves of more than 4 meters in height. Hence the slogan 'Dominate the Seas'.” To make the ship so strong and stiff, Bas explains, a special grid has been designed - which is very unique for a ship of this size. High-end composite materials are used. The entire structure is made of carbon. As a result, the center of gravity is low, which benefits the stability and unique sailing characteristics of the ship. The deep V hull allows the ship to glide through the water like a hot knife cutting through butter. Even with high waves, this ship will not slammed prevent. The specially designed ergonomic ones are also unique pilot seats with shock absorption , to make sailing with high waves comfortable. The freeboard of the gangways is also very high, so that spray water does not stand a chance in extremely high waves. This also allows you to move around the ship safely. To further strengthen the latter, a carbon railing with LED lighting has even been installed. “The Stratos Dutch Built 50 gives an open but at the same time very protected and safe feeling.”

Built to perfection

Bas' vision and personality come together in this almost fifteen meter long ship, which reaches a speed of almost 40 knots. Decades of nautical expertise and passion poured into one superior project. “The name Stratos did not come out of the blue, it is derived from stratosphere. We want to reach that height in terms of quality, functionality and performance. We do use the term 'built to perfection': every detail has been thought of, every aspect has been fully developed, and nothing has been spared. The ship is manufactured by only the best designers and builders from the Netherlands, who excel in their profession and have already proven this. The ship was designed by Bernd Weel and we have a lot to do with it naval architects from Sealevel. We do not do mass production. Construction is limited to five to eight yachts per year. Because we also want to continue to pay full attention to the other beautiful ones brands in our portfolio: Sanlorenzo, Bluegame, Prestige and SACS. In short: construction can be done without time pressure, every detail of the Stratos receives full attention. This can be seen in the finish: it is of a stratospheric high level. The interior, with sleeping space for four people and of supercar GT quality, is extremely refined. There is a whole study in the outdoor cushions alone.”

The highlights of the Stratos are almost inexhaustible. A small selection: The carbon hardtop can be opened, so you can sail in the sun if desired. Something you don't often see on yachts of this length. This also applies to the range of 400 to 450 miles (740 to 830 km): that is an astonishing range for this class. Substantial investments have been made in noise reduction, so that the sea can be optimally enjoyed. For example, the engine compartment and the interior are separated by a soundproof technical insulation room. You can personalize the exterior based on color scheme, with a choice of approximately twenty-five colours, metallic and non-metallic. You can personalize the interior by choosing from three different color styles. And then there is a laundry list of options. Options at superyacht level, including a hydraulic submersible swim platform. “The Stratos is for those who want the best of the best,” says Bas. “And as you have come to expect from Lengers Yachts, we also offer the maximum in terms of service – the customer is completely unburdened. Based on our story, we have already sold the first copies of the Stratos in advance to relations, all very experienced water sports enthusiasts. They immediately felt confident! These boats are delivered in Mallorca, Ibiza, Saint-Tropez, Cannes… And we have also sold one in Amsterdam. So soon you could see the Stratos Dutch Built 50 on the IJ.”

Lengers Marine Center

Lengers Yachts has expanded with a marina in Lelystad especially for the Stratos. What was once Schaap ShipCARE is now called Lengers Marine Center. Leen Schaap and the team will remain with the company, which means that thirty years of expertise and management in the field of composites have also been taken over. “We do the assembly and production in Lelystad. So we have everything in our own hands! In addition to the Stratos yachts being built there, we will also house service, repairs and winter storage in Lelystad. Muiden is becoming more of a gallery, where sales are made.” Are there any further plans for the Stratos? Bas can't say anything about that now. But anyone who knows him a little knows that there is always development going on. I think I'll visit him again next year.”

The worldwide pre-launch of the Stratos Dutch Built 50 took place at MASTERS EXPO, Thursday, December 8.

INTRODUCING THE STRATOS DUTCH BUILT 50 THE MOST SEAWORTHY YACHT IN IT’S CLASS

The new Dutch shipyard Stratos Yacht is introducing its very first model at boot Düsseldorf. The 50-footer combines a superyacht standard of finish with class-leading seaworthiness and engineering.

When Bas Lengers, world renowned broker and yachting expert for over 40 years, set out to create the most-seaworthy vessel in its class, he knew he also wanted it to become the most iconic in its class. The DB50 was born after extensive research and will be presented to the general public for the first time at boot 2024. Stratos Yacht, the builder of the DB50, collected the pre-eminent experts in their respective fields from design, naval architecture and build, and began to redefine the 50ft class of yacht. With the DB50 built to encapsulate Dutch superyacht quality, the team of Stratos’ shipyard, the naval architects of Sea Level and the designer Bernd Weel put their minds together to break down expectations for this yachting segment and create a new standard for its class.

Combining strength and style The result is an ode to Dutch excellence, the on-water equivalent of an all-terrain vehicle – an SUV on water – made to go-anywhere and cruise with ease even in the toughest of weather conditions while achieving speeds of 36 knots. “I felt the 50 ft category needed a tough, resiliently-robust vessel, one that is truly seaworthy and built to superyacht standards,” says Bas Lengers. The DB50 is propelled by the latest twin Volvo Penta IPS systems and incorporates cutting-edge technology on board. Combining strength and style, the DB50 is built to CE Classification A, the highest rating possible, meaning the yacht can tackle extended voyages, withstanding winds over Beaufort Force 8 and significant wave heights above four metres. The same applies to the spectacular nautical range of 400 to 450 miles. The DB50 is equipped with the latest twin Volvo Penta IPS systems and incorporates cutting-edge technology on board. “The robust build and CE-A certified construction provides owners a safe and secure vessel,” says project designer Bernd Weel. This is a yacht with backbone. Key to Bas Lengers’ vision was the resilience and sea-going ability of the vessel. In order to meet this vision, a special grid was designed – unseen in a yacht of this size – and the hull constructed from ultra-dense composite materials, with a hardtop of lightweight carbon. Unique is that many parts are built with carbon and visible finishing.

A complete care-free experience Personalisation of each DB50 is a driving force within Stratos’ DNA. It begins with exterior colour selection in 25 different shades flowing through to upholstery, teak and a range of interior choices. Understanding that time on the water is personal, Stratos offers easy individualization: An online configuration tool allows prospective owners to quickly configure their ideal DB50 via a few clicks; selecting from an array of options that range from upholstery colour, Decking colour, and a wide array of metallic and non-metallic exterior colours. In the tailoring process, owners can choose from three different interior styles which correlate to their preferred ambience onboard: Zen (light), Serene (medium) and Graphite (dark). The design, with its expansive sunpads, dual movement automated sunroof, and inviting alfresco dining space, lends Stratos towards long summer days cruising the Mediterranean. Impressive to guests as a high-performance, luxurious day boat, the full beam cabin with a double size berth, plus the possibility to convert two extra berths, means that this is also the ultimate yacht to dominate the sea on longer journeys. Lengers Yachts is the exclusive sales partner of Stratos Yacht and is pleased to present this new standard of vessel to the market.

“Stratos is for those who want the best of the best. In terms of service, we also want to achieve this. In doing so, we will go beyond the expected standards and offer services that will provide owners a complete care-free experience. So that they can focus on what truly counts: enjoying the thrill of getting the most out of their Stratos experience” says Brand Manager, Paul Verheij.

The DB50 will celebrate her European premiere at boot Düsseldorf from 20 to 28 of January in hall 5 at stand E21.

Introducing the Dutch Built 50 

Stratos yacht unveils their first model , written by emily bunn, january 20, 2022.

Luxury motor yacht company  Lengers Yachts  has recently expanded with the launch of its newest brand  Stratos Yacht . Stratos’ debut into the waters of the yachting industry is being capitalized on with the release of their Dutch Built 50 .

With Lengers’ fifty years of nautical expertise and Stratos’ innovative new vision, the release of the Dutch Built 50 sets a new precedent for yachts in the 50-foot segment.

Featuring world-renowned Dutch craftsmanship, the new yacht guarantees seaworthiness, even in the roughest weather conditions. This capability is bolstered by the brawny construction of the vessel, which was built with high-quality materials to ensure strength and sturdiness. 

From bow to stern, the yacht measures 15 meters. It is capable of reaching a zippy 36 knots and has a nautical range of 400-450 miles. 

CEO of Lengers Yachts and the pioneer behind Stratos Yacht, Bas Lengers , comments on the yachting industry’s demand for a boat like the Dutch Built 50. He remarks, “I felt the 50 ft category needed a tough, resiliently robust vessel, one that is truly seaworthy and built to superyacht standards. A yacht that could cruise with ease even in the toughest of weather conditions: an SUV on water.”

Lenger’s yacht concept was materialized by yacht designer Bernd Weel and engineered by Sea Level naval architects . These experts worked to create an extra dense hull made from high-end composite materials, including lightweight carbon.  

With this, the Dutch Built 50 has been granted a CE category A rating. This award indicates the vessel’s ability to seamlessly slice through waves above 4 meters and handle winds of over an eight on the Beaufort Wind Force scale. 

Fashion-forward boaters will be glad to note that much of the Dutch Built 50’s design is customizable. The yacht is available in twenty-five colors, with custom teak and cushion options. Owners have the choice of fitting a hydraulic submersible swim platform. Furthermore, three different color schemes are also available for the interior. 

Venturing on board, the boat features a carbon hardtop with an automatic sunroof and a stainless steel wet bar, among other luxe features. The Dutch Built 50 is capable of sleeping four. 

Wherever the winds take you, Stratos Yacht’s debut vessel can transport you there in style

Lengers Yachts acquires Schaap Shipcare Lelystad

Leen Schaap, founder of Schaap Shipcare, is famous for building ocean racing yachts. Two of his yachts that participated in the Ocean Race (formerly known as the Volvo Ocean Race) for the ABN/AMRO came out as winners. He is well known in the nautical world, particularly for composite and gelcoat repairs as well for yacht spray painting. Schaap Shipcare is also the place to go for the complete refit or renovation of your yacht. The experienced and motivated staff will remain on board and become part of the Lengers Group.

Lengers Yachts has been experiencing strong growth over the past years. Bas Lengers: “The demand is increasing, and we must anticipate this trend in order to continue our growth. We are also very excited to be taking a new path by launching our own yacht brand. With the access to the facility in Lelystad we unlock the possibility to create more capacity and to have the construction of these ships in our own hands, which I think is very important in these unprecedented times. We have an extensive and pleasant cooperation with Leen Schaap and our relationship is built on mutual trust. I know what he is capable of and that he is outstanding at doing his job. We are as well very enthusiastic about our new, dedicated employees.”

Leen Schaap, owner and director of Schaap Ship CARE: “More than twenty years ago I started working with Bas Lengers and the Lengers company. I have always been fascinated by the way Bas and his team are operating. Selling and doing business is in their blood, they breathe it. I am really happy about this next step and am convinced this will contribute even more to the bright future of Lengers Yachts. We are very excited to be working with this international company under the same flag.”

In Lelystad, Lengers Marine Center will have access to a ground floor plan of almost 18.000m2, four service & storage buildings of in total almost 8000m2 and a 70-ton crane. The facility will be dedicated to serve their customers even better and allow service activities to be carried out on a larger scale, while larger capacity is made available to execute composite and gelcoat repairs. There will be more space for winter storage and moreover, the facility in Lelystad will also serve to facilitate the construction of the new yacht brand of the Lengers Group, called Stratos.

The already existing headquarters in Muiden will remain and function as a luxury showroom for new and pre-owned yachts of the exclusively represented brands: Sanlorenzo, Bluegame, Prestige, Sacs and Stratos.

Lengers Yachts : On course for success - these are the goals the brand dealer is aiming for

Uske Berndt

 ·  25.12.2023

The purchase and construction of the yachts is in the hands of Lengers

Owners have favourite areas, a dream yacht in twelve months with lengers, travelling in other spheres.

The location could hardly be better. There is a large hall to the right and left, with a car park and manoeuvring area in between, at the end of which is a jetty with a crane. Flybridge motor yachts bob in the Muiden canal here. Muiderslot Castle rises picturesquely in the background. Welcome to Lengers Yachts, the exclusive Prestige and Sanlorenzo dealer for the Benelux countries and Germany as well as the Northern European representative for Sacs maxi RIBs. The family business has also had Stratos on its list for a year now, an exciting and striking weekender series made from robust 50-footers.

Business is booming, the main site just outside Amsterdam is undergoing a major expansion, construction workers are hammering and sanding in the new extension to hall two, directly opposite the showroom. "This will be my office," says Bas Lengers, striding through the bare room and grinning, "a complete renovation." As CEO, he has been managing the company's business for 41 years.

The basis of their business sounds simple: Lengers arranges the purchase and construction of the yachts and receives a commission for this - currently for around 100 transactions per year - "the customer can relax and enjoy their yacht," summarises Pien Hommes from Marketing. But the whole process is also a labour of love. "We take care of everything from A to Z," clarifies Bas Lengers, his magic word is "turnkey". The service package for owners also includes financing and insurance, testing, organising berths and crew as well as chartering through the subsidiary Boatsters Black.

Hans Lengers senior founded his business in 1970, and it has been located in Muiden on the Ijsselmeer since 2004. "We have the open sea on our doorstep here," says Bas, "perfect for seatrials without a speed limit." He himself joined the family business back in 1982, it was obvious: "Ships are my passion." Today, 80 people work at the Muiden and Lelystad sites, plus 15 to 20 on Mallorca, in Cala Nova and Puerto Portals, as well as smaller offices in Belgium and Finland plus representatives in Munich and Düsseldorf. Over the past ten years, he has invested heavily in flying the flag in the German market. "It is the key country for our growth."

The major brands in the current catalogue are relatively new. Prestige and Sacs joined the catalogue around twelve years ago, Sanlorenzo only in 2016, meaning that Lengers covers a broad spectrum, from ribs to superyachts. And they don't just build to order: The company buys around 75 per cent of the Prestige yachts at its own risk and offers the mostly 14 to 18-metre semi-custom yachts to potential customers, while the figure for Sanlorenzo is 40 per cent.

The owners have their own favourite areas. "Around 80 per cent of our prestige yachts stay in the Netherlands," reports Bas, "and 100 per cent of the Sanlorenzos we sell are in the Mediterranean." The same applies to the Sacs, although the Belgians like to move their treasures to the south of France and the Germans prefer to head for Mallorca. Bas Lengers has his eye on them there again, as he himself lives on the island for part of the year, while his brother Hans lives in France and pushes the business from there.

Bas Lengers speaks four languages fluently and loves to mingle with his customers, for example at the annual meeting of the Prestige Owner's Club. "We go out with 20 yachts and head for pre-booked harbours, where there is live music and good food." When the participants return home satisfied, that is the best advertisement for Lengers and the yacht brands.

The boss is actually always on the move. Ten to 15 events a year are organised around the Sanlorenzo brand alone, making it the ideal contact exchange. If a potential customer shows interest in a particular model, an intensive consultation session follows. What exactly should it be, with a flybridge or without? For a family? Once the basis has been established, Lengers travels to Italy with the interested parties, shows them the shipyards and the range of models. "50 to 60 per cent of customers are already owners," he says. Within two hours, he knows which way they are leaning. Once the decision has been made in favour of a yacht type, it's time for the interior. Together they roam the showroom, selecting the furniture and details. During the construction period, Lengers monitors every stage of production and the customers are often present during the flying visits.

The dream yacht will be ready in around twelve months. This means that Lenger's customers are marching past the long waiting list for a Sanlorenzo. "Normally, an SD 118 would be launched in spring 2027," says the boss, "so it's good that we have reserved building slots or have a few yachts in stock." Naturally, he also attends the launch and gives a speech. In Italy, a priest always attends the ceremony, but not so much elsewhere. A good opportunity to demonstrate Nordic humour. "At a handover in Mallorca, I dressed up and appeared in full costume," says Bas, showing the video on his smartphone. The Dutch owner of the SP 110 and the guests had a lot of fun.

After delivery, things get serious again, Lengers tests the yacht and is the first point of contact for warranty claims and service. Contact with the customer remains close, "almost like in a marriage", smiles Bas and knows what he is talking about. His wife Evelien also works in the company.

Being successful as a retailer was not enough for him. "We want to grow," is his credo. "We seize the opportunities that arise and try to make everything possible." This also includes the idea of the shipyard and Stratos. "How great would it be to create our own brand, our own boat?" Bas has been asking himself for years. He had always liked dayboats and weekenders, and he knew how customers imagined something like this anyway. "We liked the idea of transferring the quality of a superyacht to 15 metres," he explains, "we wanted the design of a sport utility vessel, an SUV on the water that you can take out in four-metre waves."

Bas invited a few designers and engineers round to his house and they started drawing at the dining table. "We started with the carbon fibre hardtop, that's the most important thing," says Bas. He then mentions the minimalist design and the strict spatial separation of electrics and motors. "The order book is full," confirms Paul Verheij, the new brand manager for Stratos and former sales manager for Bugatti.

For the DB50, everything is to be "Dutch built", designed by top Dutch designers, built locally and independent of suppliers. The new location in Lelystad, also on the Ijsselmeer, is only half an hour's drive from Muiden. Here, too, construction work is underway on a new hall, and the Lengers Marine Centre with its 70-tonne crane will soon also serve as a repair workshop and winter storage facility.

There are already four DB50 hulls in various stages of production in a hall, and the world premiere of the number one will be in January 2024 at the boot in Düsseldorf. The name "Stratos" is not just a made-up word. "The stratosphere is actually impossible for humans to reach," says Bas Lengers, grinning again. What's it like to be a shipyard manager now? "Different," he says, "but luckily I have a talented team." When asked whether everything he has planned will work out, he just nods. He always looks ahead. "I'm 60, I want to go full throttle for at least another ten, maybe another 20 years."

Barstool Sports owner rescued by Coast Guard off Nantucket coast

By Patrick Whittle, The Associated Press

The owner and founder of Barstool Sports lost control of a boat off Massachusetts before being rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Dave Portnoy, 47, said in a TikTok video that the harrowing Monday rescue off Nantucket happened after he unhooked his boat from buoys. Heavy winds then caused him to drift out to sea, and his engine was dead, he said.

Portnoy said another boater saw that he was in distress and radioed the Coast Guard.

Coast Guard rescuers towed the boat back to mooring, Portnoy said. He said he appreciated the work of the “four burly dudes” who rescued him, and that he might be finished with boating for a while.

“Captain Dave lives to tell another tale. Third time as captain, already lost at sea. It’s a dangerous game, the sea’s angry my friends,” Portnoy said via TikTok.

Portnoy, who maintains a robust online presence and has millions of followers, used another social media channel, X, to thank the Coast Guard on Monday. The Coast Guard responded with a message for Miss Peaches, Portnoy’s pit bull.

“Any time, Dave,” the Coast Guard posted, with a pair of smiling emoji. “Tell Miss Peaches we love her.”

Portnoy founded Barstool Sports in 2003 in the Boston area. The sports and pop culture website has more than 16 million followers on Instagram.

Dave Portnoy, 47, said in a TikTok video that the harrowing Monday rescue off Nantucket happened after he unhooked his boat from buoys. Heavy winds then caused him to drift out to sea, and his engine was dead, he said.

Portnoy said another boater saw that he was in distress and radioed the Coast Guard.

Coast Guard rescuers towed the boat back to mooring, Portnoy said. He said he appreciated the work of the “four burly dudes” who rescued him, and that he might be finished with boating for a while.

“Captain Dave lives to tell another tale. Third time as captain, already lost at sea. It’s a dangerous game, the sea’s angry my friends,” Portnoy said via TikTok.

Portnoy, who maintains a robust online presence and has millions of followers, used another social media channel, X, to thank the Coast Guard on Monday. The Coast Guard responded with a message for Miss Peaches, Portnoy’s pit bull.

“Any time, Dave,” the Coast Guard posted, with a pair of smiling emoji. “Tell Miss Peaches we love her.”

Portnoy founded Barstool Sports in 2003 in the Boston area. The sports and pop culture website has more than 16 million followers on Instagram.

Dave Portnoy rescued by Coast Guard after drifting out to sea: 'Almost lost Captain Dave'

"captain dave may never go on the boat again," said portnoy..

Barstool Sports' owner and founder Dave Portnoy was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard after losing control of his boat off the Massachusetts' coast.

"You boys almost lost Captain Dave today," said Portnoy in a TikTok video he posted explaining what happened. "Captain Dave almost was lost to the ocean."

On Monday, Portnoy took his mother out on a boat ride off the coast of Nantucket, he said. Portnoy did not try to turn on the boat before unhooking it from the from the buoys. He drifted out and attempted to turn on the boat only to find that the boat had no power.

The boat had no power, radio or anchor and there were heavy winds which caused him to drift out to sea, Portnoy explained.

"Next thing you know, Captain Dave is lost at sea," said Portnoy.

The Barstool founder began screaming for help as he sailed, and shot a distress signal from a flare gun he kept onboard the boat.

Coast Guard rescues Portnoy

According to Portnoy, a woman "in what looks like a rowboat," boarded his boat and asked if they can make a TikTok together, said Portnoy. He declined her request and then used her radio to contact the Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard made it to Portnoy's location where they tied up his boat and towed it back.

This was Portnoy's third, and possibly last time captaining a boat.

"Captain Dave may never go on the boat again," he said.

BW pipes cleaning- MARINEVAC Black water treatment Number of Vacuum lines to be cleaned – 2 main lines from 5 separate points.After discussing the Marinevac service with the Mr. Simun Ljubica, the following quotation hasbeen prepared. Mr Ljubica would like to have the toilet system pipe work cleaned to preventblockages starting to form within the toilet system. This can happen due to a buildup ofcalcinate on the internal lining of the pipe work. This occurs naturally over a period of time butwith the correct planned maintenance procedures, it can be avoided. Marinevac can solve thisproblem using their unique toilet cleaning system (descaling solution). If the correctmaintenance is not carried out on a regular basis then it will eventually lead to blockages withinthe system and ultimately effect charters and guest trips with potential loss of charter earnings.This treatment will ensure that all of the major build up is removed from the system.The quote is based on the treatment to the following lines.Machine dosing points and treatments times· Fore deck, Owner bathroom toilet (2 cycles)· Main deck, Day head STBD toilet (1 cycle)· Lower deck, Crew STBD FWD cabin (1 cycle)· Lower deck, Twin Guest STBD FWD toilet (2 cycle2)· Lower deck, Captain’s cabin toilet (1 cycle)Points manually dosed· Lower deck cabins:VIP room, Twin Guest PORT FWD, Double Guest STBD FWD, Double Guest PORTFWD, Crew cabin STBD AFT.The running of the system would not be affected during the cleaning cycle, the boatdoes not need to be out of the water and there is minimal disruption on board. If the boatis out of the water we will need the toilet and sewage system to be functional and access to hotwater.This process would clean all major lines back to a good working condition; the cleaningchemical will not affect any pipe work, valves, paint or galvanized coating.
