On a summer’s day in 2017, Cees Heuker of Hoek was sailing from Valencia to Ibiza on a friend’s yacht. As he listened to the sound of the boat surging forwards on the breeze, he had a sudden idea. “A thought just hit me like lightning. I should buy a yacht.” “It was nice, so relaxing,” he explains. “There was no noise. We were working a little bit on the course. And I saw that a yacht is like your house; every time you go out it’s your home.”
