ABOUT
The company
Independent, transparent, and service with a personal touch sums up the core values at Dutch Maritime Partners, working to bring the focus back to where it should be: enjoying your superyacht.
DMP is an independent superyacht management firm operating from the heart of Amsterdam. With industry veterans Duncan Schaaf and Arne Feenstra as the driving forces behind the company, DMP takes away the trouble
Duncan Schaaf
After attaining a bachelor degree in shipbuilding, engineering and naval architecture, Duncan started a small company to provide maintenance for racing yachts and did designing and engineering for Feadship. Moving on towards project management, he did several refit projects for luxury superyachts, followed by four years of yacht management. Several years later after meeting Arne the decision was made to collaborate, and DMP was born.
Arne Feenstra
Arne has a master’s degree in business and worked for the luxury car brand Mercedes-Benz for several years before dedicating himself to the yachting industry. Running a yacht is a lot like running a company, and this is where Arne’s experience comes in handy. In managing a vessel professionally, such skills are simply indispensable.
Both Duncan and Arne felt that the yachting market was asking for a completely independent management company. With the technical background of Duncan and the business background of Arne, they decided they would make the perfect team.
