Welcome to  SV My Motu

Welcome to our website

We are Jeroen, Aagje, and Rajesh (Karki) van den Heuvel, a family who share a passion for sailing. Our incredible adventure began a year ago when we embarked on an unforgettable journey through the Eastern Caribbean. We discovered the beauty of the islands and transformed our sailboat, My Motu, to meet our wishes and requirements. This voyage has taught us invaluable lessons in teamwork, cooperation, and the power of unwavering trust.

As September 2023 approaches, we eagerly anticipate sailing towards Barbados and, after the hurricane season, to the USVI, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, and Panama, where a new chapter of our journey awaits. We continue to embrace the unknown, chase our dreams, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Through this website, we invite you to join us on our sailing adventure. Here, you’ll find stories and beautiful photographs that will inspire and inform fellow sailing enthusiasts, dreamers, and curious minds alike. So, come aboard and navigate through the pages as we share our personal experiences, sailing insights, and the joys of living on a sailboat. Let our stories ignite your sense of adventure and encourage you to embark on your extraordinary journey.

Thank you for visiting our website, and may the winds be forever in your favour.

Fair winds and following seas, Jeroen, Aagje and Rajesh (Karki) van den Heuvel
