Zeelander Yachts has appointed Floris Koopmans as its new business development manager.
In his new role, Floris Koopmans will focus on strengthening commercial activities globally, supporting key stakeholders such as yacht owners and brokers, and overseeing marketing initiatives.
Floris has been working at Zeelander Yachts since 2017 in various positions including marketing, brand management, and sales.
“Zeelander forges objects of desire,” said Floris. “In my new role, I want to gain a better understanding of the owners’ needs to ensure every yacht and experience is perfectly tailored to that desire.”
In joining the leadership team, Floris will work alongside his father, Sietse Koopmans, the founder and chairman of Zeelander Yachts.
“When I started Zeelander, I aimed to create a line of yachts that were simply the best that money can buy”, said Sietse.
“Floris understands that vision, and having grown up immersed in the yachting world and Zeelander’s legacy, he brings perspective and capacity that adds great value.”
The shipyard, located in Groot-Ammers, the Netherlands, was founded 22 years’ ago.
