Let’s Make
You can buy a boat anywhere. Buying a boat with pleasure is what you do at WorldWide Sailing!
Whether you are a sailing school, association or individual sailor, WorldWide Sailing wants its customers to enjoy sailing without troubles. That is why we are committed and more than happy to support you. Both during the purchase and afterwards.
WorldWide Sailor
Our WorldWide Sailors can be found on almost every continent.
PE optimists are rock solid, unsinkable and have good sailing characteristics. The cheerful colours appeal to younger sailors. A bit of romping and acting tough while wanting to be the best. Worldwide, some 350.000 children have learned to sail in these boats. What a lovely little sailboat!
We have already delivered more than 18.000 boats in about 45 countries to sailing schools, watersports associations, rental organisations and resorts. Fortunately, these numbers are still growing steadily.

Reviews
We are hugely satisfied with Gerke’s catamarans and service. The personal contact, always helping us come up with solutions, and the enthusiasm also suits our sailing school perfectly, highly recommended!

Gerke has been supplying us with Topaz boats for the sailing school fleet since 2001. We sail about 20 Topazes, both the Uno and Race X with gennaker. We also have a number of Topper Vibes and Catamarans 16. I am very satisfied with the build quality of the Toppers and they help us think about how to use them within a sailing school. For De Bird, WorldWide Sailing has been a great partner for years!

Gerke Smakman: "let's make the world sail!"
From the age of 18, I was a sailing instructor at sailing schools. There, I found out what qualities instructional sailboats should meet. Based on that vision, I developed an instructional optimist that was pleasant to sail and met those quality requirements. I now have 30 years of experience selling sailboats all over the world. This work still gives me great pleasure every day. It is super satisfying when people enjoy sailing our boats.
