Just like you, we love sailing. We speak your language and understand your desires.

A tradition of excellence and dedication

At Westside Sailing, we are proud to be a family business with a rich history and a passion for watersports. Our journey began over 30 years ago when father and founder Thomas turned his love for yachts into a business. Thomas’ father was already an avid sailor, and they often sailed together before Thomas moved to the Netherlands. Today, Thomas works side by side with his son Marlon and his wife Annemarie, continuing our tradition of excellence and dedication.

Our story is one of passion and hard work.

Thomas started with a clear mission: to help people find their dream boat and to let them experience the joy of sailing. Over the years, we have proven ourselves as a reliable and knowledgeable yacht dealer, reflected in the large numbers of Bavarias on Dutch waters. With Marlon on board, we have expanded our horizons, blending modern insights with our traditional values.
