The skipper

Go with Georges, a professional skipper, on a fast sailboat, or on a trans-Atlantic on a 15 metre sailboat!

What is your motto ?

Come and try the sailing experience!

How did you come to do this job?

I was born in Plevenon, a sailing town. I started in national education, not as a teacher but as a cook! I then joined youth and sport programmes, and then, spurred on by my passion for the sea, I bought a boat, and one day I decided to make it my job. I then passed my diploma as a professional skipper and since then, I've been bringing people to discover and practice sailing in Brittany and to the Channel Islands.

What people say about you?

Que je suis plutôt sympa!

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

Il y en a vraiment beaucoup !

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

Quand les clients ont le sourire!

Your style of practice?

For sailboat trips lasting a day or two, I do not necessarily force people to participate, it is often their first experience and I really want them to enjoy this new adventure. So it is a free choice for everyone if they want to take part in the sailing or not! For trans-Atlantic races or training courses, however, I involve the passengers. For this I immediately put them at the helm as I wish they feel at ease on board the boat.
