The skipper

Come aboard with Samuel – Skipper in Saint-Malo
As an independent sailing instructor, I’ve been teaching a wide range of students for many years on various types of boats in the English Channel, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean. I love sharing my knowledge, watching my students improve, and helping them build confidence in a friendly atmosphere.

What is your motto ?

Being in the right place, at the right time, with the right people, on the right boat!

How did you come to do this job?

After many years of experience in cruising and instruction, I decided to become a freelance sailing instructor. Today, I work with boat owners and crews, and I organize courses for a variety of participants. Teaching remains, above all, a pleasure for me.

What people say about you?

People describe me as calm, patient, caring, and a good teacher. My teammates appreciate my ability to tailor instruction to each person’s level, my focus on safety, and—apparently—my homemade cookies!

Life on a journey

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

A trip is a success when the participants improve, gain confidence, and the atmosphere on board gradually goes from good to excellent. I enjoy designing a program tailored to the crew and the conditions we encounter.

Your style of practice?

I prefer a well-planned, calm, and safe sailing experience. I enjoy teaching maneuvers, explaining sailing decisions, and gradually helping everyone feel more comfortable on board.
