The resort and residences are honored to support Team HorseRiding, made up of father and son duo and Dutch natives, Ad Noordzij and Maarten Noordzij, who have been sailing together in the F18 class for over a decade. Their passion for sailing and dedication to the sport embodies the spirit of community and excellence that makes Vie L’Ven a proud member of Sint Maarten’s Dutch heritage. Their partnership was born out of a shared love of catamaran sailing that began as family adventures and grew into a serious pursuit. Ad, who rekindled his passion for catamaran sailing after years in South America, introduced Maarten to competitive sailing at the age of 15. Since then, their bond has deepened, evolving from a father-son dynamic to a true team bond on the water.
Known within the F18 class for their hands-on approach, Ad and Maarten’s catamaran has been modified with custom innovations that enhance their performance. From a Bluetooth-enabled communication system to light line installations, their boat has become a reflection of their meticulous attention to detail and dedication to their craft. This spirit of ingenuity and resilience, coupled with Maarten’s evolving tactical skills and Ad’s wealth of experience, embodies the essence of Vie L’Ven’s approach to luxury and custom design.
