Hendrik Sprik
Dutch, Yacht Broker, Designer, Trader (1981)
Son of a seafarer, born and raised in Bolsward, Friesland, the northern watersport region of the Netherlands.

From an early age I’ve been drawn to trading products, creating and the financial markets what nowadays is what most people call work, but for me it's just a way of living. This is also what I will do if I would retire.

My creative journey began in 1997 as a graffiti writer. After being turned down for both graphic design and product design studies, I chose to teach it myself. In 2011 I launched a clothing brand which I closed in 2014 to focus on product design.

In 2018, while on a product design study trip in Santa Cruz, Tenerife, the 63m superyacht Irimari ignited a deep passion for superyacht design leading to six years of self-education in yacht and product design, followed by hands-on work in superyacht interior engineering and 3D surveying. I’ve since boarded yachts from 50m to 134m across all build stages at renowned Dutch shipyards.

In 2022, a trip to the South of France intended to find a role in yacht design steered me working in yacht brokerage and compliance instead.

In 2025, I founded my own yacht brokerage & design studio.

My approach to projects is, it's everything or nothing.
I like to do it right or not at all.Where time efficiency and making fewer decisions for my clients to preserve headspace is a key focus.

Alongside my projects, I’m passionate about poker and creating custom watches.

You’ll find my floating office in Port Vauban, Antibes.
