The faces behind the boat

From Primary School to Boat Rental

Three men who have known each other since the sandbox of primary school. By now we all have our family lives, and as three couples we have spent years celebrating the good life: with fine wine, enjoyable dinners, active outings, and these days also out on the water together.

Three Men, One Mission.

The men have known each other since they could walk. Today we combine our diverse backgrounds to offer a premium boating experience in Elburg. Since the summer of 2026 we share our own boat with our guests, and we look after it as if we are sailing it ourselves. We take your feedback seriously and work on a better process and a nicer experience almost every day, for you and for ourselves. Our aim is clear: the ultimate boating experience on the Veluwemeer, and hopefully beyond before long.

IT couple by the water
Rutger

The Code Cruncher

IT & Systems

As the owner of an IT company, he makes sure everything behind the scenes runs as smoothly as our engine. He sees "bugs" everywhere, except on the boat – there he only sees comfort.

Couple from the banking world
Gerald

The Number Cruncher

Banking & Management

In banking everything revolves around stability, and that is exactly what he looks for in a boat. He manages the treasury, but on the water the only "interest" he counts is relaxation.

The High Flyer

Helicopter Pilot & Navigation

Used to sitting high above the clouds, he now finds his peace just above the waterline. Steering the boat is a piece of cake for him, as long as no vertical take-off is required.

Luxury shared is luxury doubled

Last summer we rented a boat on the Loosdrechtse Plassen. We enjoyed it so much that the idea was born: why don't we buy a boat ourselves so we can enjoy those beautiful evenings on the water together?

But we wanted more. We wanted to share this luxury and that ultimate sense of freedom with others. Without having to make that expensive investment yourself, with us you can experience what it is like to sail in a truly premium boat.

Our boat is our pride. We maintain her as if she were our own (because she is!), and you notice that in everything.

On a serious note

Let us introduce her: this is Limoncello. She surfaced in early summer 2026, the latecomer in all three of our families, and cared for and looked after all the more because of it. Calm in character, stylish, and all yours, as long as you are good to her. Respect works both ways.

No party boat

We love a good party, just not on our boat. We are happy to refer bachelor and bachelorette parties to the neighbours. We like to keep things classy!

Sorry, no four-legged friends

No matter how lovely they are, our cushions and dog paws are not a good match. Dogs will have to wait on the quay. An assistance dog is welcome; just mention it in the booking request.

No fishing boat

Fishing is not allowed on board. Our boat is meant for pure relaxation and good company.

Love for the boat

We maintain the boat down to the smallest detail and welcome guests who treat her with the same respect we do.

Why Limoncello? When the six of us go out for dinner, we always finish with a Limoncello. To life. That is how she belongs to us, and since this summer a little to you too.

See you on the quay soon?

We make sure the boat shines, you just have to enjoy.
