Mark Slats

Advisor + Boat Crafter

People call me the Gentle Giant, because of my height and my kind personality. But make no mistake: when I’m on one of my adventures, being a participant in a race or when challenged in a game, I’m determined, focused, disciplined, dedicated and highly competitive. I make the impossible possible. I dream big and think in possibilities. My glass is always full. Still working as a contractor, my aim is to become a full-time adventurer in the coming years.  

 My love for water and in particular the ocean, is endless. I feel better when I’m on the water. Whether I’m sailing, rowing or swimming. That’s probably why most of my best adventures take place there. 

I like to inspire and motivate people to be the best version of themselves. Getting them out of their comfort zone. My motto therefore is ‘be stronger than your excuse’. Stop dreaming about it, just do it! And learn and improve while doing it.
