The skipper

What is your motto ?

Sailing means adapting, sharing and enjoying yourself.

How did you come to do this job?

Quite simply out of passion. First as a crew member on inland waters, then at sea. I multiplied my sailing, training and seasons, until I finally took the step of teaching. for me, being a skipper means passing on knowledge, not just piloting a boat.

What people say about you?

Calm, pedagogical, patient... and apparently, I make a good cup of coffee! I'm often told that I put even the most stressed people at ease. And that's a great reward.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

A crossing to the Breton islands with a 100% beginner crew. The first few days, we learn the basics, doubt a little, make progress... and a few days later, we're charting a course offshore, all together, confident and autonomous. Seeing this evolution is what I love most.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

When everyone leaves with memories, skills and, above all, the desire to come back! A cruise is much more than sailing: it's a collective adventure, a moment of disconnection, sharing and freedom.

Your style of practice?

Serene, educational and committed. I like to mix technique with discovery. No stress on board: everyone goes at their own pace, with a smile and in safety. Whether it's a leisurely cruise or a more sporty one, I always adapt to the level of the crew.
