Embark with Manoel - Skipper Europe

The skipper

Sharing my passion, always, everywhere, whatever the weather.

Born with salt water in my veins, I never envisaged anything other than teaching and sailing.

That I'm patient and explain things well.

I've been a sailing instructor since I was 18, and I'll be able to introduce you to sailing, reassure you and guide you in a joyful, good-humored way. Finally, I am a right foot amputee following a tiger shark attack, so you'll have the chance to sail with a real pirate with a wooden leg and crazy stories.

Life on a journey

A crossing of the Balearics from Corsica with my 3-year-old daughter.

When you come home with the urge to set sail again.

Born in the mountains with salt water in my veins, I've been skiing in winter and sailing in summer since I was born. After many years of travel, thanks to sailing and its opportunities, Norway and its fjords attract me more than ever, deand adored by all the sailors I've met on my Polynesian, Australian, West Indian, Basque and Mediterranean voyages. Now it's time to head for the far north and discover its hidden wonders. I've been a sailing instructor since I was 18, and I'll be able to introduce you to sailing, reassure you and guide you in a joyful and good-humored way.
