With over 25 years of auction, brokerage, and marketplace experience in the yachting industry, Dimitri brings a wealth of expertise to the Ocean Independence Team.

Fluent in Dutch, English, and French, and based in Amsterdam, he is ideally positioned to serve our diverse and international client base.

Dimitri's impressive career includes auctioning over 2,500 (super)yachts and ships up to 70 metres, selling sailing yachts up to 21 metres through yacht brokerages, and listing superyachts at prestigious events like the Monaco Yacht Show. His hands-on experience extends to working as a deckhand on a Mulder 74 motor yacht, providing him with invaluable practical knowledge of the yachting lifestyle.

Before joining Ocean Independence, Dimitri successfully managed an Amsterdam-based yacht marketplace, a (super)yacht auction company, and managed a superyacht start-up marketplace while working as superyacht advisor in Monaco. His entrepreneurial spirit and drive to innovate are evident in his commitment to exploring new opportunities and building maritime start-ups from the ground up.

Outside of his professional life, Dimitri is passionate about basketball, running, and skiing. He is also dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with dementia and their caregivers through a care initiative he is developing.
