OUR FOUNDER
Jaap de Jonge’s fascination with boats began in his youth in Giethoorn, where he was drawn to vessels that glided silently over water. To pursue excellence in hydrodynamics, he studied fluid dynamics during his master’s and later joined Damen’s Research department. There, he focused on hydrodynamic research. This foundation fueled his passion for integrating complex systems—such as battery technology, electromotors, and automation—into boat design.
In 2017, a sailing weekend crystallized Jaap’s vision: to replicate the serene experience of sailing with the convenience of a motorboat. As a result, he began designing an electric tender that prioritized efficiency and quiet operation. The goal was smooth, swift movement at moderate speeds. This philosophy stood in sharp contrast to conventional speedboats, which often sacrificed efficiency for speed.
By 2018, Jaap was working at Royal Huisman and Damen, two industry-leading shipyards. Partnering with renowned designers, he founded JR E-Yachts. Their collaboration led to the unveiling of the E32 prototype at Boot Düsseldorf in 2020—a design so innovative that it made a significant impact on the industry.
Building on this success, Jaap and his team reimagined the E32 into the E10. They engaged Mulder Design to develop a distinctive, minimalist boat that favored recognizable yet refined aesthetics over traditional speedboat styling. Today, Lumen continues to innovate with new models, focusing on electric boats that deliver a serene, effortless boating experience—driven by cutting-edge technology and elegant design.
GLIDING IN SILENCE
Experience sound of sailing in silence with Lumen’s luxury electric boats, where cutting-edge technology meets seamless design to glide effortlessly across the water. Embrace the tranquility of noise-free navigation, allowing you to connect with nature and enjoy the pure essence of boating.

Thanks to its sustainable marine propulsion, refined silhouette, and intuitive handling, it redefines what it means to travel in style across water.
Crafted in the Netherlands, every LUMEN yacht draws on the rich heritage of Dutch yacht design—known for clean lines, smart engineering, and minimalist beauty. In addition, the E10’s sleek profile and customizable premium finishes offer the ultimate in comfort, performance, and low-impact exploration.
