The skipper

What is your motto ?

To share the joy of sailing, while respecting the sea and those on board.

How did you come to do this job?

Sailing and the sea have always been a part of my life. For many years, I sailed for fun—both in regattas and on cruises—while pursuing another career. Over time, it became clear that I wanted to devote myself fully to the sea and to teaching others. Today, I guide those who want to discover sailing, improve their skills, or simply enjoy a wonderful experience at sea.

What people say about you?

I think people see me as someone who is passionate, attentive, and a good teacher. I like to take the time to explain things, reassure people, and tailor the experience to each person’s skill level.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

I don't have any one specific memory. My best moments at sea are often when the crew gains confidence, takes part in the maneuvers, and discovers the simple joy of sailing together.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

A successful trip is one where everyone finds their place on board, enjoys the moment, and leaves wanting to sail again. Safety, camaraderie, and the joy of the sea are essential.

Your style of practice?

I enjoy sailing that is serious, fun, and accessible. Depending on what the crew feels like doing, the outing can focus on relaxation, exploration, or learning maneuvers.
