The skipper

What is your motto ?

Safety, conviviality, freedom: the cruising spirit.

How did you come to do this job?

Professional skipper with a diploma (BPJEPS Croisière), passionate about sailing since childhood. Trained at Les Glénans and UCPA, I now put my experience and pedagogy at the service of sailings that are both formative and convivial.

What people say about you?

"Laurent transforms each course into an unforgettable adventure. Between laughter, challenges and solidarity, he brings out the best in each crew. An instructor who leaves a lasting impression and makes you want to come back!"

To know about you, apart from your job?

I'm passionate about water sports, particularly kitefoil and wing, as well as sailing in all its forms. Attached to nature and the wide open spaces of the sea, I appreciate sailing as much as the moments shared ashore. For me, the sea is a school of life, but also of conviviality.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

A trainee who had come to take his Level 3 exam once told me about his plans to build his own sailboat. I accompanied him from the construction stage right through to the handover of the boat. As we sailed together and shared moments, a real relationship was created. Even today, I continue to advise him and follow his progress.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

For me, a successful ocean voyage is a blend of human adventure, sailing and sharing. A close-knit crew, challenges taken up together, breathtaking scenery, and a good meal to round off the day!

Your style of practice?

For me, sailing is synonymous with pleasure and safety. on board, conviviality and respect for everyone's pace are essential. Whether it's to learn, relax or share moments at sea, the objective remains the same: to enjoy an enriching maritime experience, in good spirits and with confidence.
