Ruth and Ron Boogaard's collaboration with Horizon Yachts began in 1993, when Ron and his parents-in-law traveled to Taiwan, where they visited nearly twenty different shipyards in one week. Finally, they placed the first order for 3 new yachts at Horizon Yachts. This was followed by more than 200 yachts built by Horizon.

At the same time, Ruth and Ron Boogaard decided to relocate to Mallorca, where they founded their own company, based in Port Andratx, in 1994. Since then, they have been responsible for the sale and service of Horizon Yachts in the Mediterranean. This laid the foundation for a successful cooperation with the Horizon Yachts company since more than 25 years.
