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.

Junior yachtbroker

Watersports runs in my blood. From an early age I can be found on a boat, it’s been force-fed since I was little. That is not surprising with a father who restores boats as a profession, and eventually sailed Grand Banks for a long time. As a result, the passion for water sports has only grown. You can also find me on the water almost every weekend in the summer. Whether it is sailing, taking a trip, kite- or windsurfing. I am completely in my element when I am on the water. I also want to convey that enthusiastic feeling to the customers, and if I succeed, my task and goal have been accomplished!

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!
