Albert Gerritsma

Sworn yacht broker and appraiser, exclusive yacht consultant for Grand Banks Yachts

Born and raised at the heart of the Frisian lakes, I was already on and around the water a lot as a kid. Swimming, surfing, water skiing, (competitive) sailing, I couldn’t get enough. I have been working in boat sales since my school days; I started as a boat cleaner around the age of fourteen ... After studying mechanical engineering and business administration, I worked in various commercial and management positions. In 1998, I returned to water sports, and since early 2000, I am (one of) the last sworn yacht broker(s) in the Netherlands. High-quality services, good service and a personal touch. That is the course I sail with lots of enthusiasm every day.

Roelof de Vries

Yachtbroker

Watersports are in my blood. From a young age, I’ve always been found on a boat—it was practically ingrained in me. That’s not surprising, considering my father restores boats for a living and spent many years sailing Grand Banks. This upbringing only deepened my passion for watersports. During summer, you’ll almost always find me on the water every weekend, whether it’s sailing, going on a trip, kiteboarding, or windsurfing. I feel completely in my element when I’m out on the water. That enthusiasm is something I aim to share with customers, and when I succeed, I know I’ve accomplished my mission!

Beau Caffa

Junior yachtbroker

My entire life, the maritime industry has been a central topic of conversation in my home. With two generations before me both coming from the maritime industry, orienting towards a future in it was almost natural. Many holidays in Southern France quickly sparked a love for water sports. At a young age, I already knew where I saw my future: becoming a yacht broker. Before my work at MariTeam, I had no experience with the leisure boating market, but I eagerly learn everything necessary. And now, I am also working at full speed to realize that dream.

Gert van Barneveld

Exclusive yacht consultant for Grand Banks Yachts

As an avid water sports enthusiast with a passion for beautiful and especially cool ships, I was at the helm of the first polyester Grand Banks 36 classics in the Netherlands as early as 1980. Since 2003, I worked as a yacht consultant in various Grand Banks organizations. The focus on continuously expanding the Grand Banks experience through the pursuit of optimal customer satisfaction never bores me!
