Discover the Atlantic coasts with Hervé, your professional skipper.

What is your motto ?

Living is now!

How did you come to do this job?

I have been sailing for more than twenty-five years in solo or crew cruises as well as in regattas, I have always enjoyed sharing this passion. A major change in my life made me realize that I had wanted to do this job for a long time. So I have passed the necessary diplomas to practice.

What people say about you?

They appreciate the feeling of security, the freedom I leave in the control of the boat and my "cool" actions when necessary.

To know about you, apart from your job?

I like to discover people as well as countries and their cultures, my project is to leave in three years for a round the world trip with my boat. The rest is revealed in the course of the conversations, conviviality and pleasure are my key words.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

There are many of them! A first solo arrival in Plymouth to see my daughter? The first Transgascogne? Winning winter training at the Turballe? In fact, each navigation is a different memory.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

It's probably a commonplace, a successful cruise is when participants leave with a smile on their faces and the feeling that they have learned something and want to come back.

Your style of practice?

Friendly, adapted to the wishes of the participants, knowing that safety prevails and that I remain of course on the final "decision-maker" as far as navigation is concerned, of course, but as long as I am at sea, I am happy!
