Crest Company started with Gijs, who grew up on the waters in Loosdrecht, Netherlands. He sailed professionally in the Dutch team at a young age in the Optimist class, and later in the Laser national team doing world and European championships. Somewhere along the way he picked up a camera. The same passion that drew him to the water, he found again through the lens. He's been able to shoot a lot of great stuff since then, but he stays humble about it.
Gijs films with a lot of emotion and it's all about connection for him. He's built a tight team of photographers and filmmakers who share that same approach. We don't just shoot boats. We find the right creative person for each project, making sure every story we tell feels real, personal, and powerful. Because for us, this isn't just work. It's where we come from.
Three principles that define our approach to yacht content creation
Every yacht has its own story to tell. We bring fresh perspectives, bold visuals, and an eye for the extraordinary to make each project feel completely unique.
It's not just about what you see, it's about what you feel. We capture the energy, the emotion, and all those maritime details that show what luxury yachting is really about.
Great content builds connections that last. We focus on moments that hit people in the heart, and visuals that let others really experience what the luxury yacht lifestyle feels like.
