Rob Pijper – JMS Yacht Management

We would like to introduce you to Rob Pijper, Fleet Manager, DPA, Director – JMS Palma.

Rob spent over 13 years at sea starting as an apprentice on board gas tankers. He then spent four years as a Chief Engineer on commercial vessels. When moving to a shore based position Rob worked with Lloyds Register as a senior surveyor and auditor.

Fluent in English and Dutch, Rob’s introduction to the superyacht world came through his time with Lloyds Register, moving on to work as a Technical Manager / DPA with a large Dutch yachting company. Rob’s broad experience includes a project on a special Polar Explorer.

Not only does he have an incredible knowledge but also has strong values. Rob explains “In the yachting industry, you come across many mentors throughout our careers without them even knowing they were a mentor. In fact, you learn every day from all the people you surround yourself with.” That is his approach on life.

Rob now runs the JMS Palma Office. His strong technical background along with his easy-going manner is an asset to our team. We feel very honored to have Rob as part of the JMS family and we learn from him every day.
