The story behind Wheelchair Boat
Owners Bas and Roan crossed paths on the stunning shores of Bonaire, where their shared passion for water sports, particularly kitesurfing and sailing, flourished. Back in Amsterdam, our hearts remain anchored on the water.
As someone who uses a wheelchair, Bas has a unique understanding of the significance of accessibility in activities. This insight has guided us in designing our boat to ensure that every detail has been carefully considered, allowing everyone to experience the joy of sailing to the fullest. Even swimming is achievable, regardless of physical limitations.
Roan still lives on Bonaire, but he spends the summer months in the Netherlands to spend more time with his son. During his stay, he enjoys volunteering with Bas. Together, Bas and Roan ensure an unforgettable day on the water.
