SeaBookings is a unique resource to discover & compare the best watersports and boat tours. SeaBookings was born by a dream of two Dutch sisters – Bo and Femke Irik – who aimed to help small local tour operators gain more visibility online and thereby allowing travellers to be able to book the best and most authentic sea experiences.
The sisters had been working for many seasons in maritime tourism and felt they could boost this niche using technology.
We are obsessed with finding the best ways to enjoy the ocean. That’s why we have experiences for all kind of travellers who are interested in getting to know the beautiful waters of our planet.

We’re Bo and Femke, the duo behind SeaBookings, and we’re excited to share a bit of our story with you. What started as an idea in 2013 has become a huge part of our lives, and we feel incredibly lucky to be on this journey together. We believe that bringing different strengths to the table is what makes SeaBookings work so well. We’re different in many ways but share the same vision of connecting people with the sea in meaningful ways.
Femke is the one who’s always been a bit of a dreamer and a doer at heart. She is driven by a passion for turning ideas into reality and making sure we create experiences that matter. She loves the challenge of shaping SeaBookings into something that people can trust and enjoy. Every day, inspired to push things forward, keep everything on track, and find new ways to share our love for the sea with you.
For Bo, SeaBookings isn’t just a job. The best part? Testing out the sea experiences we offer —whale watching, for example, is something she’d happily do a hundred times over! She is an amazing mother, and an entusiastic runner, so if you’re ever in Lisbon, run with Bo! Bo makes every detail count and ensures that each experience leaves people feeling connected and excited about the ocean.
SeaBookings is not Francisco’s, or Xiko how his friends call him, full time job but it’s one of the projects he’s proudest of. Rebranding SeaBookings and designing the new website was a pleasant challenge and the result is visible! Xiko really likes SeaBookings as he’s always has had a strong connection to the sea, being a surfer from Lisbon. Beside surf, Xiko’s hobby are startups, having already founded a few. The most recent one is WorkingMinds, an online platform to revolutionize mental health. Xiko likes joining Bo to test all the SeaBookings experiences and Tenerife, like Fábio, is one of the destinations he likes most.
Nathalie is a real go-getter. In February 2018 she joined our team and she is already indispensable. Half Austrian half Brazilian born in Germany with an Austrian passport and Portuguese residence (what?), speaking 4 different languages (Portuguese, German, English and Spanish) is a unique combo! She likes to work from her couch in Burgau, the South of Portugal, with her two dogs sitting next to her and supporting her wherever she goes. La Palma is a destination on her bucket list and she is hoping to visit this place very soon!
Thanks for taking the time to get to know us better—our goal is that every experience you have with SeaBookings lets you feel a bit of that passion too.
