Our Story

Where today you’ll find the easy buzz of a guest harbour and the gentle creak of ropes against the docks, there was, in the 1980s, little more than a reedy inlet, sea breeze and Grandfather Peterzéns’ dream. That dream was a vision of a guest harbour – the very one Peterzéns has grown into today, shaped over generations as a family business.

The story of Peterzéns guest harbour is one of heritage: a grandfather bold enough to follow his vision, Laura Peterzéns’ keen business sense and silk screen studio, and above all, a close-knit entrepreneurial family that has grown along the way. It’s perhaps best captured in the words of second-generation entrepreneur and eldest son Ruben: ‘This place is in my DNA.’

If you stop us for a chat on a summer’s evening, you’ll hear the whole story. And if you look around, you’ll see it too – in the carefully crafted details of the harbour, in the wind-shaped reed roofs, and in the deep respect for the surrounding nature and the sea.
