This Luxe New 72-Foot Trimaran Brings Even More Comfort and Stability to Rough Waters

The three-hull leen 72 is also far more drag efficient than conventional single-hulls., kevin koenig, kevin koenig's most recent stories, open space, eco-friendly tech: what a rising class of millennial superyacht owners is looking for, ‘people don’t want to be inside’: how the outdoors became yachtmakers’ most coveted design element.

The new Leen 72 trimaran has about the same volume as a 100-foot monohull.

However, as Leen pushed into the powerboat market in 2021 with a 56, another happy trait of the tri-hulled design came into play—efficiency. By displacing the boat’s weight across three points of contact with the water—as opposed to one with a monohull, or two with a catamaran—drag is greatly reduced, because the hulls can be exceptionally narrow.

Its latest power offering is the Leen 72, which launched in 2022. True to design, the 72 is a very fuel-efficient boat. With a single 330-horsepower Cummins diesel engine, the boat has a range of 2,500 nautical miles at 10 knots, burning just a half gallon of fuel per hour. Additional electric drive units in the outboard hulls can assist with docking, or help push the boat along at 5 knots.

A trimaran design has, of course, another benefit beyond range and stability, and that’s the wide beam that makes its interior and exterior areas reminiscent of something that, in this case, might be found on a 100-foot monohull. The 72 is 29 feet wide, which translates to 1,378 square feet of useable space. 

The main deck is flush between the cockpit and the salon, making transit from the exterior to the interior seamless—a hallmark of thoughtful design. A comfortable, two-seat helm to starboard is accompanied by settees to port designed for guests curious about how a three-hulled boat is actually run.

The only glaring drawback to an unusually wide yacht like this Leen is that it might be challenging to maneuver it around a crowded marina. But when you balance the advantages of a triple hull, that may be a challenge some owners are willing to take on.

Leen 72 first look: Cutting-edge trimaran launched by Neel Yachts

  • Top stories

French yard Leen has launched its biggest power-trimaran to date, the Leen 72, ahead of its public debut in October 2022.

The first Leen 72 recently hit the water  in La Rochelle, following the installation of its huge 49x27ft (15×8.2m) flybridge .

Following successful sea trials, the boat will be shipped to the US where it will be handed over to its commissioning owners. Its first public appearance is due to be at the Annapolis Power Boat Show in October 2022.

Best known for its Neel brand of sailing trimarans, the yard simply reversed the spelling to differentiate its new range of power multihulls. It launched its first power tri model last year, the Leen 56.

As well as an extensive main deck area, the principal benefit of these “power-tris” is efficiency. Three narrow beam hulls generate far less resistance than a single beamy monohull, meaning greatly reduced fuel consumption.

The yard hasn’t yet released any estimates for fuel burn rates but given the modest engine size and the large fuel tanks (the Leen 56 carries 3,000 litres of diesel as standard), this should give a safe cruising range of well over 500nm.

McConaghy Boats to put 60ft trimaran into development

Australian firm McConaghy Boats has announced that the Tri60 design from BMT will be going into development

Leopard 46PC test drive: First full review of the world’s favourite powercat

Unlike conventional powercats , which have an engine in each hull, the power-tris have a single diesel in the centre hull and two smaller electric motors in the outer ones. These serve three purposes: improving low speed manoeuvrability, providing a silent and emissions-free means of leaving port, and serving as back-up propulsion in the event of a main engine failure.

The main engine on the Leen 56 will be a single 300-450hp shaft drive diesel, giving a top speed of 15-18 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots. The larger Leen 72 will offer a broader spread of 300-500hp. Full hybrid and solar installations will be optional.

The accommodation layout of the Leen 56 is almost as unconventional as the hull configuration: the aft end of the main deck is split longitudinally between an owner’s suite to starboard and an open-plan saloon, galley and dining area to port.

The owner’s suite also spills down into the starboard hull where its bathroom is located. Two further double cabins occupy the centre and port hulls, although options exist for as many as six smaller cabins and up to 10 beds.

The Leen 72 has a more conventional layout with the whole of the main deck given over to living space and either four or six cabins on the lower deck.

Given the large volume of these boats, prices are surprisingly keen, starting at €998,000 ex. taxes for the Leen 56 and €1.55m for the Leen 72.

“Other than the occasional superyacht or record-breaker, nobody seems to have made a serious attempt at building a production power-tri but these new Leens seem to make a lot of sense,” says MBY editor Hugo Andreae. “If they turn out to be as efficient, spacious and stable as they claim, they could be onto a winner.”

LEEN 72′ : The Future of Hybrid Trimarans is Here

trimaran leen 72

The trimaran LEEN 72′ is the latest hybrid multihull from the innovative French shipyard NEEL . With its hybrid engine, its unique design and its ergonomics, it is part of this new futuristic yachting trend which aims to make sailing more ecological and sustainable.

In 10 years, NEEL has designed trimarans that stand out for their quality of design and unique know-how . Their trimarans combine elegance, design and performance. The shipyard’s teams are at the forefront of research into performance and eco-responsibility. The LEEN 72′ combines all these precepts.

The usual habitability of NEEL Trimaran on a motor boat

The NEEL shipyard has built its reputation on the design of trimarans by a team of passionate experts . Their yachts are spacious and comfortable thanks to their unusual platform on a trimaran and their three convertible hulls.

Thanks to these characteristics, they combine the living space of a catamaran with the sailing qualities of a trimaran. The LEEN range is atypical, it offers motor trimarans with great habitability and a futuristic propulsion.

Leen 72′: a unique hybrid motor trimaran for ecological cruising

Since its beginnings, the NEEL shipyard teams have been striving to develop a more eco-responsible type of boating. They are innovating to integrate renewable energy on their boats. The NEEL 51 NOOS, launched in 2018, marked an important turning point for the yachting industry with its hybrid engine.

Solar panels are installed on board. Special attention is also paid to limiting the risk of programmed obsolescence of materials and equipment installed on each yacht. The equipment is tested and selected according to its durability and reliability.

The LEEN 72′ is designed to avoid friction with water and air in order to consume as little diesel as possible. Its platform offers a wide range of layout possibilities without having to modify its very tapered hulls. Thanks to its ergonomics, the boat has a very high efficiency in terms of fuel consumption while maintaining good performance.

This trimaran consumes only 2 liters per mile at a speed of 12 knots. This is 4 to 8 times less than boats currently on the market. This reduced consumption allows a more eco-responsible navigation, but also to make longer distances without having to refuel and thus to be adapted to transatlantic crossings.

[download_after_email id=”10447″]

General characteristics of the LEEN 72′.

The layout is conceived and designed by the architect Pierre Frutshi . It offers 4 double cabins with their bathroom . The owner’s cabin is in the front central hull of the trimaran. It offers a private bedroom, a private bathroom, and a private desk. In the rear part of the same hull is a guest cabin with its private bathroom. The two other double cabins are in the floats.

The bridge of LEEN 72′ offers comfort, protection, and safety at the same time. Its surface area impresses. It grants the layout of vast and luminous living spaces. The saloon and galley are located on the main deck, at the same level as the cockpit.

trimaran leen 72

From the saloon, you will access the very comfortable saloon-boathouse by taking a few steps. This cozy space, entirely glazed, offers a 290° panorama. With its U-shaped sofa, flat-screen television, desk, and navigation station, it combines comfort and technology. 

trimaran leen 72

The navigation station can accommodate up to two people. The bridge door gives access to the deck to facilitate docking, mooring, and departure, while an interior staircase leads to the flybridge.

The flybridge is then accessible from the saloon and cockpit. Outdoor circulation is systematically protected thanks to covered passageways. The owner can choose the layout of the exterior spaces according to his taste.

It is also possible to add cabins with an en-suite shower room and a single bed to the yacht’s layout to accommodate up to 10 passengers in 6 cabins .

trimaran leen 72

Motor and speed

The trimaran LEEN 72′ is equipped with a “heavy-duty” hybrid engine, consisting of a central combustion engine and 2 side electric pods, located under the floats. 

The diesel engine serves as the main propulsion system, which the electric pods complement during port maneuvers, such as bow thrusters. They also can be used alone for silent electric motorization preferred to leave an anchorage or coupled to the generator set for backup motorization.

If the cruising speed of 12 knots allows you to cover 300 miles per day with a consumption of less than 2L/nm, you can easily obtain a top speed of 15 to 18 knots .

With its 5000 liters of diesel available in a single tank, the Leen 72′ allows for a smooth transatlantic crossing with a single tank of fuel.

Is the ‘LEEN 72′ right for you?

The LEEN 72′ trimaran is very convincing and attractive by combining the large living spaces of catamarans, thanks to its platform, and the performance and safety level of trimarans. It is particularly suitable for trimaran enthusiasts, for those who want to do long cruises or coastal sailing, but also for those who want to do ocean crossings such as transatlantics. Her base price is 2.5 M€. Windward Islands and The Sailing Resort also offer custom ownership with its innovative OWNER CLUB program.

Interested in the LEEN 72′?

This trimaran combines brilliantly and intelligently, a unique line and a strong character. Windward Islands offers you its expertise in sales and management of new and used boats and proposes you an OWNER CLUB management program with guaranteed income.

Leen 72 Review

Leen 72 trimaran is one of the newest trimarans on the market and is taking the boating world by storm right now. This triple hull comes with a lot more customization options than most other yachts on the market.

Neel Trimarans and Eric Bruneel created a new company, Leen Trimarans, to develop a new direction - the production of motorized three-hull trawlers with hybrid power supply. Renowned naval architect and designer Bernard Nivelt was challenged with combining the greatest possible ship autonomy with high energy efficiency.

The trimaran Leen 72 is a trawler with a length of 21.8 meters, a width of 8.85 meters and a draft of 1.34 meters. The ship's hull consists of an aluminum composite superstructure. At the same time, the main part is made of a foam plastic composite, and the bottom of each of the three hulls up to the waterline is made of Kevlar. This provides a much greater impact resistance and stability of this trimaran, which has a total displacement of 41.5 tons.

As for the drives, the manufacturer offers a choice of 330 HP Cummins diesel engine or 400 HP Cummins engine.

Surprise: Cummins engine will be assisted by two 20-kilowatt electric motors, which together will allow the trimaran to cruise at 15 to 18 knots per hour, as well as reach a top speed of 20 knots per hour.

Surprise №2: if you choose to run the ship on electric propulsion alone, the trimaran will be able to travel at about 6 knots for about two hours before needing to start the generator.

There are three aluminum fuel tanks on board that allow the ship to carry a total of 5.000 liters of diesel fuel on board, giving the Leen 72 a cruising range of five to six thousand nautical miles at sub-cruising speeds. At a speed of 10 knots, the autonomy is 2.5 thousand miles with a fuel consumption of just over 2 liters. And when the speed drops to 8-9 knots per hour, you will be able to cover a distance of 3.5 thousand nautical miles without replenishing fuel.

Undoubtedly, Bernard Nivelt coped with his task.

Review of leen 72 by toprik team.

The skipper and topRik team leader has long wanted to add trimarans to his SimpleSail fleet. In the hope that a three-hull vessel will soon join this peaceful "squadron", we set off to explore the new Leen 72 trimaran from the Leen Trimarans shipyard.

Leen 72 Review

It made quite the impression at first sight! After all, we expected to see something like Leen 56, only 5 meters longer. We have already experienced the classy avant-garde look of Leen’s first-born back in the day, and thought that nothing would surprise us anymore.

But, probably, no one expected to see something even more avant-garde... Of course, this was not art for art's sake. In all these lines lies a precise calculation aimed at maximizing the sea performance that can be squeezed out of a motorized three-hull trawler of this size without compromising the comfort of its inhabitants.

Leen 72 Review

For example, the far forward bow of the vaka, as well as the location of all heavy equipment under the main deck in the central hull, significantly reduce rolling during rough seas. And sharp stems reduce the effect of water resistance on the driving performance of the trimaran. This design allows you to consume less fuel, since the wetting area is reduced.

Leen 72 Review

Of course, one cannot draw an analogy between a planing vessel and a trawler, but its architect Bernard Nivelt has extensive experience designing racing trimarans, offshore and pleasure yachts, also Beneteau Swift Trawler. When developing Leen 72, he made the most of his accumulated engineering and creative potential.

At the same time, the decision to move the bow of the central hull in relation to amas expands the possibilities of living space. The vaka forepeak can be equipped with an additional cabin or a storage compartment for the necessary things. Highly raised side hulls also allow for more spacious spaces below the main deck, where not only an additional cabin can be accommodated, but the main galley can also be moved there.

Main galley?.. There are also secondary ones? – you might ask. We will tell you more about this in the following sections.

This part of the vessel, like most trimarans, is hardly associated with the part of the stern familiar to us, which initially should be a vertical wall connecting both sides. But as we can see in the photo below, the Leen 72 has a fully open cockpit. And the sides even have a cutout at the deck level, so that it would be convenient to board the trimaran from a high pier when it’s docked side-to.

Leen 72 Review

Instead of a solid transom wall, this “fence” with gates can be installed here, as shown in the photo below. The cockpit can be reached by climbing one of the three ladders. The central one is the widest, as is the platform from which it starts, or to which it leads, if you go down from the cockpit.

Leen 72 Review

Don't you think that such massive ladders are overkill? After all, there are two more on the sides, in addition to this central one? And remember, we talked about the fact that Bernard Did Nivelt manage to use the additional volumes of the high-rise hulls? Yeah, it must make more sense now. And here is confirmation: this is not just a gangway, but also an electric garage door for a full-fledged motor dinghy.

Leen 72 Review

Rollers are equipped on the central platform so that when the dinghy rolls out, the teak coating is not scratched.

Well, you can estimate the size of this beach spot, which can be arranged on all three "islands" of the platform, even from the photo, focusing on the fact that the width of the trimaran is 8.85 meters.

Climbing up the ladder, you find yourself in a huge space, completely covered from above by a canopy, like the side decks, one of which is visible in the picture below. At the table, on a soft sofa and chairs, as our research showed, 6 people can freely accommodate, and if you install a transom sofa, then even more.

Leen 72 Review

There is a grill here so you can cook freshly caught fish or something from your frozen stock in the fresh air.

This is such a large space that the ladder to the flybridge is not at all steep, as it is on smaller boats.

Why are you staring so intently at the next table in the photo? No, it's not a reflection in a mirror. This is the table in the saloon, which is visible through this huge opening, which is covered by a sliding transparent structure. You see it assembled to the right of the opening.

Now you guessed it - this is a continuation of the famous cockloon, as the combined cockpit and saloon in Neel and Leen trimarans are called by the founder and Neel Trimarans’ manager Eric Bruneel. This is what cockloon looks like of Leen 72, when viewed from the side of its second component - the saloon.

Leen 72 Review

Most of it is given over to the dining area with a large corner sofa and a folding table with an electric drive. Opposite to it is a niche that can be used for shelves or a TV panel. Plenty of storage space in the cabinets, in the niches behind the back of the sofa and in the lockers under the seats. There is an electrical panel at the entrance.

The rounded corners of the furniture are a pleasant detail. As our long experience of sailing on yachts of different models shows, this is one of the unmistakable signs that manufacturers and developers are serious about providing passengers with sufficient comfort and safety.

In fact, we have been on this deck since the very first step we took from the aft ladder to the cockpit. Now all this huge space can be bypassed without using any ladders or steps.

Leen 72 Review

So, we have already passed the cockpit and saloon. Behind the dining area, which is quite logical, you can find the galley. It is spacious enough for the cook and assistant to move freely here, which can be either the owner with his other half, or a hired crew or just a couple of friends (underline the option that suits you or add your own).

Leen 72 Review

To the right of the galley, two ladders are visible in the photo - for descending into the hull and ascending to the flybridge. And the galley and other areas that we are now exploring are, as we have already said, on the same level.

The galley is equipped with a stove with an induction hob, an oven, a refrigerator, a freezer and other necessary and modern household appliances. Enough space for storing kitchen utensils and non-perishable products in cabinets and on shelves protected by snap doors. Please note that in the galley area there is an opening porthole above the stove - a natural hood.

You can install a dishwasher, another refrigerator or freezer in a free locker.

Leen 72 Review

Opposite the galley is the door to the owner's cabin. As can be seen from the diagram above, the master cabin occupies an area almost equal to that of the saloon. Actually, in the version for the owner, this entire deck can be called the master deck, since here everything is designed so the owner, for whom all this luxury is intended, feels like the main character on the Leen 72 trimaran. Although in any version, the master cabin remains unchanged in terms of location, comfort and abundance of storage space.

Leen 72 Review

This is just the sleeping area with king-size double bed with convenient access from three sides, an opening porthole in a huge window and a large wardrobe with mirrored doors. You get natural lighting, natural ventilation and the opportunity to admire the open spaces of the sea without leaving the cabin.

Leen 72 Review

By the way, you can leave the owner's cabin (as well as enter it) both from the saloon and from the side deck.

Behind the ladder to the side deck in the master cabin is a bathroom with two washbasins, an electric toilet and a shower.

Leen 72 Review

It is impossible not to showcase this spacious insulated shower that even our 2-meter-high crewman would appreciate. He was absent during this testing, but even without him we were able to make sure that the rooms on the loft deck are not only spacious, but also high, filled with light and air.

Leen 72 Review

And of course, a significant area of the main deck is given over to the skipper's working area in the center of the bow. As we have already said, from here the skipper can go down the ladders to the engine room or go up to the flybridge, which is very convenient and does not require detours on the deck.

Leen 72 Review

Here he can lie down to rest on a large luxurious sofa, which occupies a good quarter of the area of this working area. But, of course, the main place here is the control post, located on the starboard side.

Leen 72 Review

Comfortable dual seats are adjustable for the height and needs of the helmsman. The helm has a classic look, not the shape of a car steering wheel. The control panel contains all navigational equipment: two large chartplotters, an autopilot, a radar, an automatic thruster, a compass, etc. Indicators of all equipment that ensures the trimaran's vital functions are also displayed here. All the necessities - means of communication and a gas-reverse switch lever.

Leen 72 Review

Glass in the cab - tinted, excluding glare. The helmsman can observe the water area even without sunglasses.

Leen 72 Review

So, we have completed the study of the main deck of Leen 72. Next, we have two paths with the ladders leading us away from the working area: to the flybridge or down to the hulls. Since we have already described the master cabin, let's check out what Bernard Nivelt has to offer for guests of the owner and crew members, also many will be interested in the charter option with the ability to accommodate 12 berths on a trimaran. Well, let's go down a few steps.

The developer of the trimaran Leen 72 offers different options for the layout of the cabins. As mentioned above, the master cabin in terms of accommodation, comfort and parameters remains unchanged.

The owner can stop there. Or he can order other layout options - with three and four cabins located in the hulls. Let's start with a variant, the features of which the topRik team can confirm with their own experience. This option includes two more cabins below the main deck - in the forepeak and in the port side ama.

Leen 72 Review

In the 4-cabin version, the starboard ama, which shared a toilet and shower room, is also given over to a double cabin.

But there is another option for a 5-cabin charter, in which an additional cabin is located in the place of the boat garage.

Leen 72 Review

In the five-cabin option, you will have 12 double berths. How do we count that, you ask? Don’t forget that the table in cockloon can transform. By lowering it to the level of the sofa seats, it is possible to equip berths for two more passengers or crew members, although usually the crew prefers to occupy the forepeak.

But even with so many cabins, located in the hulls, which we called narrow at the beginning of the review, the sleeping places are spacious enough, and there is enough headroom to feel free.

Leen 72 Review

This unusual feeling of freedom is also facilitated by the flow of natural light and fresh air. It is clear that the "window" during movement should be opened with caution.

Leen 72 Review

Since we're down below deck, we can't get past the engine room. Yes, yes, on Leen 72 it's not just the engine compartment – it’s a whole room. For the perfect balance Bernard Nivelt has located almost all the equipment that provides the life of the yacht in the center of vaka. As you can see, you do not have to perform acrobatic somersaults to get to the engine, the generator, which also controls the electric motors, the desalination plant and other equipment located here. You can stand here at full height and there will still be enough space above your head.

Leen 72 Review

In addition to the equipment mentioned above, there are lithium batteries, an air conditioning system, and plenty of space for tools and anything you want to store here.

The floors and bulkheads of this compartment are treated with special foam to provide sound insulation. Our data shows that the trimaran is surprisingly quiet even at 10 knots.

Under this compartment is a tank for 5000 liters of diesel fuel.

And now we return to the cockloon, and from there we climb to the flybridge.

It was difficult to get our tech savvy skipper out of the engine room, but, having climbed into the cockloon, he gravitated to the helm station on the main deck. Until we found out that the flybridge also has a helm station.

Well, it's probably here somewhere...

Leen 72 Review

TopRik team experts were impressed by this huge seating area. Luxurious sofa, large dining table… And what is that on the left? Exactly - a grill and a bar counter. Great place and roomy enough for a party!

And here’s that helm station we mentioned.

Leen 72 Review

The control panel practically repeats the one that we saw at the main helm station, in the saloon, with the same set of equipment and indicators. Great view and wind in your hair, and, of course, good company nearby. The skipper will definitely not be left without refreshments here.

Keep in mind that you can enter here not only through this ladder, but also through the ladder from the cockpit.

Leen 72 Review

This is the ladder we will descend to pay attention to the side decks and this amazing bow of the trimaran Leen 72.

Wide decks with seating for admiring the beauty of the sea did not surprise us too much. This simply confirms that the width of the side decks ensures comfortable movement and safety. High sides and reliable handrails serve the same purpose.

Leen 72 Review

From the very first glance, we appreciated that the decks are covered along the entire perimeter of the trimaran. Pay attention to the teak coating, which prevents slipping even in heavy rain. The hatches are sealed flush, so you can not be afraid for the safety of your toes.

Leen 72 Review

Undoubtedly, this is a completely exclusive exterior, aimed primarily at the high seaworthiness of the catamaran. The topRik experts are well aware of the purpose of this avant-garde look. But you must admit that in addition to the utilitarian purpose, there is also an aesthetic side. In this trimaran, these properties are in perfect harmony.

As always, Leen Trimarans and Bernard Nivelt remained adherents of the main positions, which are the advantages of the Leen 72 trimaran.

  • Quality of the materials.
  • Safety on board with great flooring and rails all over the place.
  • Performance – whole 3 engines on board.
  • Comfort thanks to wooden furnishing, both minimalistic and home-like feel.
  • Autonomy – 5000 liters of fuel, large water tanks and tons of food storage.
  • Exclusivity – there’s nothing like it on the market.

Reviews of Leen 72 from Professionals

Author of the popular yachting magazine Motoroat & Yachting tested Leen 72, setting off with his team from Port des Minimes, La Rochelle. If this information interests you and you want to know more, just follow the link to this article.

Phil Draper

Phil Draper is the yachting journalist who noticed that there is something elephantine about Leen 72. Anyone would agree if, like Phil, saw this trimaran next to yachts up to 15 meters long. In addition, the author noted that it seems that you are on board a much larger boat. This impression is created by deep bulwarks, spacious decks on each side, protected by a canopy, and other exterior details. He also admitted that it was difficult for him to stay on the bow of the ship and not repeat the scene from the Titanic.

Describing the interior of the trimaran, Phil called it a real spaceship. He paid special attention to the hybrid drive.

The author noted that Leen 72 resembles a cruise ship in its ability to cross oceans. Even with one main engine at a speed of 8 knots, the possible cruising range makes it possible to cross the Atlantic autonomously, and if the speed of the trimaran is less than seven knots, then it is possible to cross the Pacific Ocean too.

Video Reviews

These videos might will help you to better understand what kind of a beast this yacht is.

First, 3-minute overview of Leen 72 doesn’t waste time and demonstrates best features:

Next, the tour from Neel Trimarans themselves – incredible production quality:

Luxury Empire showcases both interiors and exteriors of the yacht:

Finally, extensive 28-minute review of Leen 72, that doesn’t leave any questions unanswered:

In all honesty, this yacht is designed for the owner to a much greater extent than for charters. She is extremely comfortable for driving and life on board and does not require sailing skills from the skipper . Based on this, we can distinguish the following categories of sailors for whom it is ideal:

  • lovers of comfort in sea cruises;
  • those who prefer to travel alone or with a loved one;
  • lovers of a safe family vacation in complete comfort;
  • adherents of autonomous navigation;
  • organizers of charters for small groups of close friends, families or corporate events;
  • those who want to take a break from sailing, but do not want to part with the sea and the wind in their hair.

Leen 72 and Leen 56 Power Trimaran - Long Range Cruising Trawler Yachts

Designed by Pierre Frutschi, the layout includes 4 double cabins with bathrooms. The owner’s cabin with a private bathroom and office occupies the front part of the trimaran’s middle hull.

A guest cabin with a private bathroom is situated in the aft part of the middle hull, while two other double guest cabins with private bathrooms can be found in the side hulls.

The LEEN 72 can be fitted with additional single-bed cabins and separate bathrooms. In the 6-cabin layout, the LEEN 72 accommodates up to 10 guests.

The dining and kitchen area on the main deck is on the same level as the cockpit. A few steps up and forward is the deck lounge and bridge.

The quality furniture is designed in light-colored wood and made by qualified cabinetmakers.

The layout and furniture of the outdoor areas (cockpit and flybridge) are left to the owner’s desire. Access to the flybridge is via the cockpit or from inside via the deck lounge.
