The skipper

This passionate person of sea and sailing decided from a young age to dive into his passion. His ambition is to share it with you and entice you to sail on cruises from Bonifacio to visit the west of Corsica or the Lavezzi Islands. Meet Frederic, our professional skipper from Bonifacio!

What is your motto ?

The sea is magical

How did you come to do this job?

I learned how to sail at the Glénans sailing school, which I have been attending since the age of 12. I have had the chance to meet experienced trainers who have been able to guide me effectively through my professional career. To complete my training, I attended various courses organised by the Royal Yachting Association, where I obtained Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate of Competence. When I'm not sailing with the trainees, I accompany and maintain sailboats as well as teaching sailing ashore._x000D_ Well, that's me! As far as my area of ​​navigation is concerned, even though I have sailed in many places such as Normandy, Brittany, Gulf of Biscay, Portugal, Spanish coasts, Croatia, Greece and the Caribbean, it's the south of Corsica where I like to hit the open sea.

What people say about you?

In general people tell me that it is a pleasure to sail with an experienced professional, who can pass on his passion while being nice, and who does not go to too much trouble!

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

My best memories are those where I felt that my passion had been passed on to the crew.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

It is a cruise at the end of which everyone has found what they were looking for. Most often the main ingredient is good weather to sail peacefully. Dolphins and wonderful sailing performances are often an added bonus.

Your style of practice?

I sail more often as skipper, so safety is my top priority.
