Founder / photo & Videographer

Gijs Niewold

Meet Gijs, a former competitive sailor turned creative professional. Raised on the Dutch waters, his passion for the sea now shapes his work in design and videography. Gijs’ keen eye for detail is inspired by the beauty of yachts and sea adventures.

His videography captures the elegance of boats against endless waters, focusing on the interplay of sleek lines and waves. Sailing taught him to appreciate both the grand and the subtle, a perspective that defines his visual storytelling. Through his lens, Gijs brings the essence of the sea to life.

Daan Boekholt

Meet Daan, a passionate competitive sailor who competed at the highest level until 2024. Daan started sailing at the age of 7 and was part of the national team, where he sailed alongside Gijs in various competitions. In early 2024, Daan joined Crest, where he continues to develop his skills and share his love for watersports and yachts. For Daan, sailing is not just a sport, but a way of life.
