The skipper

Embark with Olivier from Bénodet, heading for the Glénan archipelago, to discover one of the most beautiful stretches of water in Southern Brittany.

What is your motto ?

Moving with the wind, learning with the sea.

How did you come to do this job?

Sailing taught me to observe before acting. Over the years, I've kept this idea in mind: you don't force the sea, you learn to deal with it.

What people say about you?

People often remember the atmosphere on board. We sail seriously, but without pressure. Everyone can ask questions, make mistakes, try again, and make progress.

To know about you, apart from your job?

I like to pass on sailing in a simple, practical way. What interests me is that everyone leaves with the feeling of having really experienced sailing.

Life on a journey

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

I'm a great believer in preparation. But at sea, you also have to know how to adapt. The wind, the weather, the crew: everything counts.

Your style of practice?

I like to sail simply, without trying to complicate things. on board, everyone participates at their own pace. The idea is to understand, to try, and to gain confidence little by little.
