A Family Business Built on Passion

We are a family business with a passion for life on the water

From our home port in Heusden, we have proudly represented the renowned Princess Yachts brand throughout the Benelux for more than twenty years. What began as a shared love of boating within our family has grown into one of the leading organisations in the luxury motor yacht industry.

At the helm is Maarten Schalkwijk, supported by a dedicated team of specialists. Although our activities are international in scope, our Dutch roots remain visible in the way we do business: personal, approachable, and focused on building long-term relationships. Our passion for boating started when Maarten’s father spontaneously purchased a boat. What began as a family hobby soon evolved into the management of a marina in Heusden and eventually into yacht sales. In 2004, we were given the opportunity to represent Princess Yachts in the Benelux a significant milestone that laid the foundation for the continued growth of our company.

Princess Yachts is recognised worldwide as one of the leading names in luxury motor yachts. The British brand is renowned for its innovative design, exceptional craftsmanship, and outstanding performance at sea. With a diverse portfolio ranging from sporty performance yachts to impressive flybridge yachts and superyachts, Princess offers a unique experience for every owner.

For us, the relationship extends far beyond the yacht itself. We support our clients throughout the entire ownership journey from the initial consultation and purchase through to maintenance, refits, winter storage, and aftersales support. We believe that purchasing a yacht is the beginning of a long-term relationship built on trust, expertise, and personal attention.

Thanks to our dedicated and close-knit team, we are able to provide a truly bespoke service while maintaining direct contact with every client. In the exclusive market in which we operate, this personal approach is what sets us apart. We are proud of what we have built together, but even more proud of the relationships we have developed over the years. With the same passion that inspired us from the beginning, we continue to help our clients make the most of life on the water.
