At Smartmarine, we love boats – and the people who have a good story to tell. Our customers enjoy sharing about their vessel, their plans, and how they gave their boat a smart upgrade. From day trips to world voyages: discover how others sail, what they’ve tackled, and how we were able to help along the way.
At Smartmarine, they have a real talent for supporting adventurous customers, and I am fortunately one of them! My name is Jeanine, and together with my partner Hans I am preparing for a sailing trip with no end date. We have our eyes set on the Mediterranean, but we don't yet know exactly when we will arrive there. The adventure has yet to begin but we are almost ready.
Hey, great to see you! We are Arjen and Amanda, two avid sailors with a shared love of adventure on the water. During the week we both work in education, but on weekends and holidays we prefer to head straight to the boat. We go out on the water with our son Sascha and our faithful four-legged friend Fedde. Together we enjoy the peace, freedom and excitement of sailing.
I have a love-hate relationship with them. You need them, but they never deliver what you would expect. During a long trip, they actually run out far too often and far too quickly. On my steel tweemaster Karma van Staal, I sail around the world in long stages. Think 40 days of non-stop sailing, for example from Brazil to Cape Town or now from New Zealand to Chile.
