The skipper

Frederic has been on the water since he can remember and has always enjoyed helping others sail to share his knowledge and passion for the sea.

What is your motto ?

Happiness is not the destination, but rather the way you travel.

How did you come to do this job?

I have been sailing since the age of 6 (optimistic) then I started a competition course: sport study, France junior team then sailing coach. I bought my first cruise ship in 1981. Then I had 6 other boats, getting bigger and bigger, up to this one today. After crossing the Atlantic as a crewman, I've done this twice more, as a skipper and owner. In 2014, I skippered a catamaran day boat in Corsica to Lavezzi.

What people say about you?

Rather nice, friendly, dynamic, attentive and a bon vivant

To know about you, apart from your job?

Joueur d échecs, pilote d avion et instructeur vol à voile, mes autres passions

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

Sailing with whales in the Canary Islands.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

When everyone wants to do it all over again after having so many unforgettable feelings and seeing so many images!

Your style of practice?

I share my experience and knowledge with the rest of the crew
