Kikkert Watersport Service also supplies you with Alamarin spareparts, anodes, v-belts, o-rings etc.

In addition to servicing and repairing Alamarin Waterjets
(Alamarin Finland), our work also consists of the following activities:

Engines

The engines, the heart of your ship. That is why maintenance is very important.
We specialize in maintenance of all well-known brands of inboard petrol and diesel engines. We are familiar with all common types of engines such as Yanmar, Nanni, BUKH, Volvo Penta, Steyr, Misubishi, Iveco, Solé, FNM, Vetus etc.
In addition to the engines in regular private yachts, we are specialized in the maintenance and replacement of BUKH (SOLAS) diesel engines in lifeboats on board seagoing vessels.
You have also come to the right place for the maintenance of your outboard motor. Proper maintenance of your engine saves you costs.

Sterndrives & IPS

As with engines, maintenance is much cheaper than repairs!
Even if there is little use, maintenance will have to be carried out. We recommend major maintenance in the first year and a minor service in the second year. The advantage of regular maintenance is that everything remains normal and we can resolve malfunctions at an early stage.
We often work on Volvo Penta and Mercruiser drives.
Your stern drives are in safe hands with us!

Bow- & Sternthrusters

To have full control over your ship under all circumstances, it can be equipped with a bow and/or stern thruster.
We prefer to work with Sidepower. This brand is installed ex-factory by several renowned brands.
We install the bow and stern thrusters with separate batteries for power supply.
Only then can you be sure that they perform optimally and do not affect other functions on board.

Generators

We perform periodic maintenance, install new generator sets, install sound-absorbing cabinets for existing sets, etc.

Electrics on board

We provide you with all conceivable electrical and electronic equipment.
This includes, among other things:

Battery chargers/inverters
Audio equipment
Navigation equipment
Solar panels
Underwater lighting

We prefer Victron Energy

Other activities

Heating and Air Conditioning
We are familiar with the installation of all well-known heating brands. We prefer Veno Heating Systems

Painting and Cleaning
Is your ship ready for a really good cleaning? You have come to the right place. We can also take care of painting work for you.

Underwater ship treatment
Every year we provide several antifouling treatments for our customers.

Our origin

Kikkert Watersport Service was founded in 2012 and initially focused on maintenance only on location.
Since 2019 we have had our own workshop at Marnemoende Marina/IJsselstein
In 2019 we introduced our first own, aluminium, electrically powered sloops. Own design, completely built and finished in the Netherlands.
These are marketed under the brand name “Linter” (Linterboats.com)
In 2024 we also acquired the molds of the famous polyester AW Sloepen. These can be equipped with both diesel and electric motors.
