About Freek

Ahoy! I'm Freek van Koolbergen. Born and raised in the eastern part of Amsterdam (Oost) and a skipper on the Canals of Amsterdam for over 3 years now.

What I love most about being a skipper is seeing Amsterdam’s majesticity from a different angle, from the outside looking in. For me, it has always been the perfect student job, one that I smoothly combined with my bachelors in Communication & Multimedia Design. My final thesis focussed on supply and demand for tours on the Canals of Amsterdam. The result, and my bachelors degree, became the prototype of BoatNow.

One day, while sailing one of the boats, I met Jan-Joost Rueb. When we spoke about the platform, he got really excited, and said: "This should be on the market!" This is the origin story of BoatNow: an online platform where you can order a boat wherever you want, whenever you want.
