BELGIUM<br />

Some people are born with a passion<br />

that paves the path of a lifelong career.<br />

For Wido Arts, his love of the<br />

waterways surrounding his homeland<br />

led him to nautical school in Amsterdam<br />

at the tender age of 15. By the time he<br />

was 20, he was first officer on the MPS<br />

Lady Anne, and within two years he<br />

became the captain. Being young and<br />

ambitious, he decided to branch out<br />

and go in search of other possibilities<br />

on the water, and landed a job with a<br />

Swiss company. He then returned to<br />

the owner of the Lady Anne to work<br />

on a different ship, until 2002 when<br />

he was offered ownership of the Lady<br />

Anne – an opportunity that he snapped<br />

up at just 30 years of age. To this day,<br />

Wido spends year after year aboard his<br />

beloved ship, indulging in his passion<br />

and sharing it with thousands of guests<br />

– he even met his wife, Jana, onboard,<br />

and they now have baby Captain Damon.<br />

You could say it was all meant to be.<br />
