Our Story
Sterkenburg Yacht Brokers B.V. was founded on 1 March 2010.
Our sales team comprises Rik Sterkenburg, Stef Struijk and Celma Groeneveld.
The owner: Rik Sterkenburg has thirty years of experience in yachting brokerage. He began his career at De Valk (‘The Falcon’) in Loosdrecht and in 1990 he got the opportunity to start his own business in Sleeuwijk. On 14 December 1999 he was sworn in as a yacht broker and in June 2002 he received his EMCI Certificate as broker/valuer of Pleasure Crafts.
Celma Groeneveld, our ‘office manager’, makes sure everything at the office is shipshape!
For you as a customer this means that you are working with a team (broker) who knows her business and who is, above all, a reliable business partner.
Hence, our team has enough knowledge and experience to guarantee professional support for you when buying or selling your motor yacht! The responsibility of mediation when buying or selling a yacht is not something one treats lightly, after all. We are able to arrange everything that is involved in buying or selling your yacht. Assessment, financing, insurance, registration or the transportation of the yacht, you need not worry about that: we will set to work for you in a professional way.
In our sales harbour you find a constantly changing range of motor yachts, and in most cases it is possible to exchange your current yacht. If it should happen to be that your dream yacht is not among them, we are happy to start searching for you! We kindly invite you to visit our office.
