In 1950, the location
where Jachthaven Jutrijp was to be developed looked like this - quite
different from its modern day appearance.
The old house was demolished to make place for a more modern and larger
building. The new building includes company premises as well as more spacious
accommodation for the owners). The water behind the house is now allocated
for berths for customer yachts.
Looking out of the window, on a Sunday afternoon in the early spring 1967, a woman named Yke Schotanus, said to her husband: "You know, you could easily create a place for a boat here, don't you think……….?" These words prompted Eeltje van der Schaaf to create "a place for a boat" back in 1968.
Together Eeltje and
Yke expanded the "place for a boat" on a gradual basis until
it became a complete marina, including good facilities and a 'unique'
atmosphere.
In 1998 they retired and their daughter Nynke and her husband Meindert
continued the business.
