"In the 2nd and 3rd year of my studies, I did a 5-month internship at Marinaut. I was so positive about the 1st period that I returned for the 2nd period; in consultation with Maarten, this was perfectly possible. I actually knew nothing about boats, but during those two internship periods, I discovered that I find it a super interesting subject and that I am becoming increasingly handy at it. There is also a lot to learn in terms of marketing. For example, you get to see how things go behind the scenes, think about maintaining the website or creating posts for the social media accounts. You can also create a flexible schedule for yourself in consultation with Maarten, which is sometimes very nice when you are busy with work or school. What I liked most was the variety of tasks. If you are finished with creating a post, for example, you can always help with preparing the boats, engines, trailers, or other things the showroom needs. You can even join a test sail after you have fully prepared a boat for sailing. The atmosphere is good, and attention is often paid to outings with the team. I think it is a super fun and unique place to do your internship, and I am happy that I ended up here!" - Mitch (Marketing & Communication student, ROC Nijmegen)

"I started my internship at Marinaut in February 2024. I didn't know much about boats, but I found the idea of learning something new and gaining practical experience very attractive. From the beginning to the end of my internship, everything was explained clearly, and I always had something to do. I have been very busy with the marketing of Marinaut, and through that, I have learned a lot about marketing. In addition, I have been busy with the boats, from preparing boats for sailing to assembling. I also learned a lot from that and had fun test sails! What I also liked was that the team at Marinaut is very pleasant. I also had enough time to work on my school assignments. In short, I am very positive about my internship at Marinaut, and I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a fun internship with variety!" - Tyra (Marketing & Communication student, ROC Nijmegen)

“At the beginning of 2023, I started my internship at Marinaut. From the start of the internship, I immediately felt involved in the company's activities. Maarten (owner) helped me well and taught me many new things. What I like so much about this company is that there are many different things to do and that you get good explanations for all tasks. Also, the team I worked in is very social, which made for a pleasant working atmosphere. Occasionally having a chat in between with the other interns and employees was just part of it. At Marinaut, you get time to work on your school assignments, but you also have time to work in the company. For example, during my internship, together with Maarten, I was allowed to make preparations for a Haven Event where we exhibited electric outboard motors and organized test sails. Other activities as an example are: test sails, social media, taking photos, and setting up the showroom. In short, I had a great time here during my internship period” - Polle (Intern, Business Management IVA Driebergen )

“I did a 6-month internship at this company. I learned a lot here. I gained more insight into this work. I learned new things about marketing and all the important aspects surrounding it (which socials score best, when you rank high in search results, etc.) In addition, I also learned a lot about boats, perhaps not the most important thing to learn, but very interesting; I now know how to assemble things, what is important with a boat, what to look for, and much more. I am positively surprised about this place and I would definitely recommend it to other people.”
