Wim is the manager and owner of the place! Always happy, always smiling, always willing to go out of his way for his guests or colleagues. You just might catch him at his favorite spot and get to share a beer or whiskey with him, while listening to his stories of days gone by and yet to come.

Just want to drop you a heart filled note telling you what a fabulous job you are doing! I was a part of the MY DIVE SHOP group from West Virginia. You and your staff went above and beyond for everything. The dining was spectacular. Five stars! Busting butt all the time. The presentations were wonderful & so enriching. The hiking, diving, food, & your queen Island SABA was joyful. Be blessed

Wim & Johanna always go "above and beyond" to provide their guests an amazing experience. They start their day at the crack of dawn with break fast and then from there on in it is a tight-rope walk balancing everyone's schedules for diving, hiking, eating, drinking and just hanging out. They are sincere hosts who project the enjoyment of Saba and have built a quality experience for their clients.
