Meet the Crew
We are Marijn, Sanne, and Heros, and we are thrilled to take you on an unforgettable journey while we share our passion for sailing and living on the water with you. Despite having sailed tens of thousands of miles, we are still in awe of the ocean's beauty every single day.
Marijn
Lifelong Sailor with a Passion for the Sea
​
Marijn’s love for sailing began before he could even walk. Growing up on a small sailboat with his parents, he was raised with the wind in his hair and salt on his skin. As a child, Marijn would walk with his dad to admire the majestic Swan 65, dreaming of the day he could sail one himself. That dream has now become a reality, and the Swan 65 remains his favorite yacht, a symbol of his lifelong passion.
Whether it’s navigating traditional barges, racing on a real America’s Cupper, or cruising aboard classic sailing yachts, Marijn has done it all with an unwavering dedication. For him, sailing isn’t just a skill; it’s a way of life. His deep connection to the sea and his love for sharing this with others make every voyage with Marijn a truly unforgettable experience. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or new to the world of sailing, Marijn's expertise and enthusiasm will inspire you to fall in love with the ocean just as he did.
Sanne
Passionate Sailor and Marine Enthusiast
​
If it’s on the water or in it, Sanne is at her best when close to the sea. With 20 years of sailing experience, she has developed a deep connection to the ocean and loves sharing her knowledge with others. Whether you’re curious about the workings of sails or the different parts of the boat, Sanne is always eager to explain and teach.
But her passion doesn’t stop at the surface. Sanne is also crazy about marine life. Having studied parrotfish in the Pacific, she brings a unique perspective to every voyage, often pointing out fascinating marine creatures along the way. Sanne’s curiosity and love for learning make every sailing adventure with her not just a journey, but a true exploration of the sea’s wonders.
Captain Heros
Heros has a story as deep as the seas he now calls home. Growing up on the streets of Greece, life wasn’t always kind to him. After a difficult start and a brief stay with a Dutch family who rescued him, Heros found himself in a shelter, waiting for a place where he truly belonged. That place turned out to be on the water.
Heros loves being at sea, and though he might be a bit reserved at first, once you get to know him, you'll find he's a remarkable companion. His journey from the streets to the sea has shaped him into a resilient and unique dog who adds something special to every voyage.
