Arthur grew up in Holland in and around the water. At the age of six he moved to Nieuwkoop where his passion for the ocean only grew as he was on the water every day and sailing optimists on a regular basis. It was in 2007 however whilst he was serving in the Dutch Army when he saw ECLIPSE in Bremen and he fell in love with the idea of being on the water and making a living out of it. He has since worked a number of years on board both charter and private yachts all around the world climbing the ranks along the way. With brilliant engineering skills and having previously worked in a shipyard also, he is a very versatile captain and a real asset to the ELENI team.
