Zeelander Yachts has announced the appointment of Floris Koopmans as its new Business Development Manager.

In his new role, Koopmans will focus on strengthening the company’s global commercial activities, supporting key stakeholders such as yacht owners and brokers, ensuring every interaction reflects the brand’s commitment to quality, and overseeing marketing initiatives. Koopmans has been with Zeelander Yachts since 2017, holding various positions in marketing, brand management, and sales.

This appointment underscores Zeelander Yachts’ dedication to delivering an exceptional experience for its clients. “Zeelander forges objects of desire. In my new role, I aim to gain a deeper understanding of our owners’ needs to ensure every yacht and experience is perfectly tailored to that desire,” said Floris Koopmans.

Carrying forward the family legacy

By joining the leadership team, Floris Koopmans will work alongside his father, Sietse Koopmans, the founder and chairman of Zeelander Yachts, to carry forward the family’s legacy.

“When I started Zeelander, my goal was to create yachts that are simply the best money can buy,” said Sietse Koopmans. “Floris understands that vision, and having grown up immersed in the yachting world and Zeelander’s heritage, he brings unique perspective and valuable expertise.”

The Koopmans family has a deep maritime lineage, with a proud history of four generations of skippers. This tradition informs Zeelander’s commitment to quality. The company’s shipyard, located in Groot-Ammers, the Netherlands—a region steeped in personal and professional significance for the family—has been home to craftsmen who have honed their expertise over decades.
