The skipper

Embark with Camille - Destination Brittany for a sailboat cruise

What is your motto ?

To sail is to live an individual and collective adventure and to put our senses on alert.

How did you come to do this job?

I have always been passionate about the sea. after my studies in Oceanography, I came to Les Glénans to do my cruising instructor's diploma, and I have been sailing, teaching and skippering ever since.

What people say about you?

Here are some testimonials
"I feel more comfortable, confident, including in heavy weather... And I look at the clouds with a different eye!" Jeanne
"I spent 3 days with Camille to learn the basics of navigation. I liked her pedagogy and her gentle approach to sailing." Maxime
"She perfectly masters the balance between teaching and listening." Mathieu

To know about you, apart from your job?

I pay particular attention to communication (NVC), team building, history, and the biodiversity of the spaces we travel through. I like to share, to teach in a fun and playful way!

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

The arrival in the Azores after 26 days of seas, beam, light weather, the sailboat gliding on a flat sea... And long before seeing the islands, the smell of the land.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

A cruise is successful if we manage to deal with the boat, the environment and the needs of each member of the crew. So that every moment is an opportunity to be amazed.

Your style of practice?

Dynamic, I like to progress in performance and to compose as well as possible with the settings, the given conditions and the crew.
