About Us

I am a self confessed boat nut having been boating non stop since the age of five with my father and the family, owning a range of boats from a Fairey Huntsman back in the day to a Sunseeker more recently.

I now, with my wife Sandra and two dogs Millie and Jessie, live on our Carver Voyager in the Riviera, hence I am in an ideal position to be able to give the sale or purchase of your boat my full attention.

I have worked as a marine engineer and skipper with a commercially endorsed skipper's qualification. I have run my own UK boat maintenance company in Poole, keeping charter boats' coding and maintenance in order. I also enjoyed completely refurbishing boats to high specifications for myself and for clients.

Hopefully with my experience I will be able to assist you in finding the boat that is going to best suit your needs.

 Originating from Belgium, I graduated in 2004 from the Hotelschool, specializing in restaurant management. Fluent in Dutch and French, I also have working knowledge of English, German, and Spanish.

Sailing has fascinated me since spending every summer in the South of France as a child. Over time I've developed an in depth knowledge of the stunning Côte d'Azur, from Saint-Tropez to the Italian border and, since 2015, this breath-taking coastal region has been my permanent home.

During the pandemic, with all hospitality venues closed, I used the opportunity to deepen my understanding of boats, spending a lot of time on sailing yachts and motorboats 

As BDA sales manager, I bring my experience, multilingual skills, and unwavering passion to help you find the boat that matches your desires. I look forward to helping you embark on an unforgettable boating journey.
 

Born and raised in Dorset on the South coast and I just love being close to the sea and all the activities associated with it. My previous history includes working as a credit controller and administration manger within the hospitality sector.

Since meeting my husband, Daryl, I developed a passion for boating. Working together, our businesses have included a boat charter company with Daryl as skipper and myself as crew. We also refurbished boats to high specification for our clients and ourselves and I have enjoyed the process of buying and selling boats. I have Power Boat level 3, Competent Crew , VHF and First Aid certificates.

I am now living on the Riviera with my husband and our two dogs Millie and Jessie aboard our Carver Voyager.

With the knowledge I have gained over the years I will be able assist you in finding the right boat for you
