Not much is known of Vooght's personal life beyond his own description of himself as a 'surveyor and teacher of mathematics and the art of navigation' on which he was a prolific writer. He is noted as the author of charts in Johannes van Keulen's Zee-Fakkel; indeed, on some editions only his name appears and in consequence the Zee-Fakkel is often catalogued under his name.

JACOB JACOB5Z (LOOTSMAN) (son) d. 1679
Holländsk kartograf. Han var boktryckare och bokhandlare. 1648 gav han ut 't'Nieuw groot Straets-boeck, inhoudende d'Middelantse Zee'. Efter sin död gav sonen Jacob Theunisz (se denne) ut 't'Nieuwe en vergroote Zeeboeck, dat is des Piloots ofte Lootsmans Zee-Spiegel, inhoud de Zee-kusten vande Noordsche, Oosterzee ende Westersche Schipvaert' (1653). Båda dessa atlaser kom senare i flera utgåvor.
Anthonie Jacobsz founded a printing and publishing business in Amsterdam in which he specialized in the production of pilot books and sea atlases. As he died at a comparatively early age most of the numerous editions of his works appeared after his death published by his sons, Jacob and Caspar, who took the name 'Lootsman' (sea pilot) to distinguish them from another printer of the name Jacobsz.
Following Blaeu and Colom, Anthonie Jacobsz was the most important compiler of sea charts in Amsterdam in the first half of the seventeenth century. In his new ZeeSpiegel issued in 1643 he increased the number of charts normally included in these books and enlarged them to folio size, which evidently proved popular. Editions in many forms appeared until 1715 and they were copied or reprinted by Pieter Goos, Hendrick Doncker and Jan Jansson, sometimes in competition with each other but usually in cooperation with the Lootsman brothers.
