The people behind House of Yachts

Marco van der Sluis

Marco van der Sluis

Owner · Certified Yachtbroker & Valuer

From an early age, I have been fascinated by water sports. Sailing and windsurfing became my greatest passions early on. After working as a financial advisor for several years, I was given the unique opportunity to combine my love for the water with my commercial background – as a yacht broker.

I have now been active in the marine industry for more than 25 years and am certified as an EMCI-qualified yacht broker and surveyor. It gives me great satisfaction every time to guide people in purchasing their dream yacht or selling their valued possession.

My goal is for every client to look back on the buying or selling process with confidence. A personal approach, clear communication, and attention to detail are central to everything I do. I don't just facilitate the transaction – I ensure a pleasant experience where trust and service come first. The greatest compliment? When clients return for their next purchase or sale.

Broker

Ruben has been working at House of Yachts for several years. During his internship, he was introduced to the world of water sports in a convincing way, after which his interest grew into a lasting passion.

Originally from Zeeland and familiar with life on and around the water, he brings a natural affinity with the maritime world. His approach is characterised by commitment, reliability, and a strong focus on service. He dedicates himself fully to our clients and strives for careful and transparent guidance throughout every process.

With his dedication and sense of responsibility, Ruben is a valuable asset to our team.

"Yacht brokerage, to us, is not a transaction — it is a relationship of trust."

At House of Yachts we believe that buying or selling a yacht is more than a commercial transaction. It is a personal decision, an investment in freedom, and the start or continuation of an adventure. That is why we take the time to really get to know you and understand your wishes.
