Cornelis was born in Flushing (Vlissingen in Dutch) in 1642 and already sailed on his father's ship at the age of ten. He became captain, serving the Admiralty of Zealand, in 1665 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War and was captured by the English while privateering in April of that year. Because of his famous father and uncle he was considered worthy of royal interest. During interrogation the brother of the king, Lord High Admiral James, the Duke of York, inquired about a bullet hole in the top of Cornelis' hat, asking the captain to excuse the English for having damaged his clothing. Cornelis grumpily answered that he was proud of the hole; only he would have preferred it to have been a bit lower, to now being a prisoner. It is said that Cornelis was released for his wits by Charles II of England in person. Charles this way tried to sow dissension between the staunchly orangist province of Zealand and the republican province of Holland; he pretended to champion the cause of the young William III of Orange.
