The skipper

Embark with Matthieu, professional skipper and offshore racer, to discover the joyful sensations coming from racing aboard an ultimate trimaran departing from Sète!

What is your motto ?

Fast and Fun Every day, you learn something on the water

How did you come to do this job?

My journey is that of a child who dreams of offshore racing and distant horizons. There were detours but, finally, this was done quite naturally first with a dinghy and the mini 6.50 followed by the Figaro.

What people say about you?

What they want ;) But, with the entire Grand Large Emotion team, we do our utmost so they can make the most of the experience.

To know about you, apart from your job?

Strong points: serious, organised, strong working capacity, qualities undoubtedly inherited from his days when studying law.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

While cruising, I enjoy sailing at night while everyone is asleep to surprise them with a new stop in the morning.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

A happy crew

Your style of practice?

The one-day sailors will discover manoeuvres such as hoisting the sails with the coffee grinder, controlling the sails with the winches, getting familiar with a goat, a piano, a roteuse. take the helm and master sailing on a hull! under the control of a crew comprised of three professionals who adapt to everyone's level with no level being required, beginners are welcome.
