Hilde Marguérite | Founder Maxie Sailing & Art of Life Coaching
'Years ago, Norbert and I embarked on a life-changing journey when we moved from the Netherlands to tropical Curacao. Today, we built and run two thriving businesses, Maxie Sailing Curacao - and Art of Life Coaching. At Maxie, we organize exclusive boat trips and retreats on our own 48ft yacht. At Art of Life Coaching, I offer personal coaching services myself, specializing in life purpose, mental health and transformative processes.
My background is in tourism and leisure management. Over the years, I have curated exquisite wines, facilitated entrepreneurial networks and studied professional coaching and modern applied psychology. I love to integrate all these areas of expertise and hospitality aboard our yacht. Join us for a beautiful tour or retreat, I can’t wait to meet you!'
Norbert | Founder Maxie Sailing, Captain & Boatmaster
'I am your certified Captain aboard our cherished Galaxie. With seven years of boating experience around the globe with the Dutch Navy, I proudly consider myself a true 'veteran'. During my service in the Caribbean, I was stationed in Curacao. After my military career, I ventured into the wine industry, graduated from the Academy of Gastronomy and became a WSET Winemaster. This expertise is why we always offer exceptional wines on board.
When Hilde and I decided to make an international move, Curacao was our choice. Here, we established our businesses and I earned my Boatmaster degree at all three levels. We purchased the 'Lady Galaxie' to fully embrace the boating lifestyle - and I take great pride in having renovated her entirely by myself. What a rewarding project and incredible transformation that has been. So, welcome aboard! Let's share our passion and stories with you.'
