The skipper

Embark with Lionel for an unforgettable cruise on the Mediterranean coast. From Bandol, go for a day or a week to discover the exhilarating sensations of sailing.

What is your motto ?

Above all, we must have fun in life.

How did you come to do this job?

I have been sailing since the age of 5. I first passed my first sailing instructor diploma in liveaboard sail boating at the Glénans school at the age of 17, before becoming a professional skipper.

What people say about you?

I do not know what to ask them but from what I hear it seems that I am of a very enthusiastic, cool and friendly, always in a good mood and optimistic ...

To know about you, apart from your job?

I practice a lot of winter and endurance sports and a play the drums a little.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

My two year cruise between Bandol and the Caribbean, two unforgettable trans-Atlantic races and two months spent in the Grenadines off season (to be done again)

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

A successful cruise is one which leaves guests amazed

Your style of practice?

I am an instructor so I can answer all your questions, and do all the manoeuvres, but I adapt to what my customers demand and I am of course able to move the boat alone…
