Time unmistakably flies fast! This year we mark a special moment: Kayak Maasland has been around for 40 years, a milestone that we owe to our founder, Louis Heemskerk. In 1984, he took the first steps with grand dreams and a good dose of courage towards what is now a leading name in the world of kayak rentals. This summer we celebrate 40 Years of Kayak Maasland, and through a variety of blogs, we will dive into the history. Moreover, kayak enthusiasts can look forward to discounts and prizes during the upcoming kayak season. A tribute to 40 years of passion and adventure.

A dive into the past
From 1984 to 2024 – Kayak Maasland has endured waters, conquered currents, and stirred countless paddles through the Maasland. Our dear Louis Heemskerk, who left us in 2022, would be proud to see how his dream continues. Our history is not only filled with adventure, but also with unity and passion for nature.
This season there are even more actions on the agenda. We want to let everyone who has been a part of this journey know how much we appreciate their support. So keep following us for PART 2, 3, and 4 of our festive retrospective, where we not only share our history but also announce seasonal actions!
