De Boo confirmed his switch to long track speed skating following the 2022–23 season.[2] The following season, in November 2023, De Boo made his ISU Speed Skating World Cup debut at the Meiji Hokkaido-Tokachi Oval in Obihiro, Japan where he finished tenth in the 1000 m race.[3] At the second World Cup race, held at the National Speed Skating Oval in Beijing, he finished in seventh place in the 1000 m race.[4]

At the 2024 European Speed Skating Championships, held at Thialf in Heerenveen, Netherlands, De Boo won a bronze medal in the team sprint, a silver medal in the 1000 m and a gold medal in the 500 m.
