Hello and a massive welcome to my website!

I’m Arno, the founder and owner of Wooden Shoe Jetboats, and I’m super happy you’ve stopped by.

I have spent my entire career in the exciting world of shipbuilding, so it’s no surprise that boat-building is more than just a job. For me it’s a deep-rooted passion. I currently work as a project manager, supplying navigation equipment for seagoing vessels, specializing in the Mega Yacht sector. We’re talking about the most luxurious vessels on the planet, where perfection and the absolute highest standards are the daily norm!

A while back, I decided to pour some of that energy into a personal project: building a Mini Jetboat in my spare time. And that’s when things really took off! I got so incredibly excited about building these little rockets, that I knew I had to share this thrill with the rest of Europe. It started with an RC version, and soon after, I teamed up with Neill Suitor to build my very own, full-scale shop boat! You can catch all the action from that project on my social media feeds. That initial build inspired me to start this side business, offering these fantastic DIY builder kits, and now also Turn-Key mini jetboats

I’m excited that I’ve had the oportunity to registered my company as boat builder – which means I officially own a shipyard! My father, who inspired me and so much of my work, would have been incredibly proud.

This website and webshop are here to become your ultimate resource for building your own mini jetboat. I can personally help you with (custom) CNC packages and all the essential jetboat parts you need to build your own high-performance dream boat, or I can have them handcrafted and custom build for you.

Stay tuned to my socials, because as a fast-moving start-up, there is a ton of exciting stuff coming your way in the very near future! Let’s get building!
