The skipper

Embark with Phillipe on a comfortable catamaran and discover the Cote d’Azur. Also a diving instructor, Phillipe will help you discover the seafloor and accompany you confidently on dives at spots you will choose as a group.

What is your motto ?

If it remains a dream, you fail !

How did you come to do this job?

As my father was a passionate sailor, I imagine that my childhood spent in the marinas admiring boats, weekend outings, and vacations at sea were surely the reason why I chose to take up a career in sailing...having put a lot of thought into it, this is surely why I do what I do today.

To know about you, apart from your job?

Even though we have fun, kid around, and tease each other a lot while on board, my passengers always tell me that they feel very safe, and can sense that I love to share my knowledge of sailing with those who would like to learn, understand, and perfect…. On the other hand, I also know when it’s right time for self-deprecation and creating a familial closeness with my passengers. I also know when to be serious.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

When all my passengers leave the boat with a smile on their face and want to do it all over again - that’s what makes for a great memory. It’s difficult to choose a favorite cruise memory…

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

When they say to me “mission accomplished,” “the best vacation ever! I want to do it again!”

Your style of practice?

Phillipe will be at your disposal on a day-to-day basis and will work hard to meet your needs, both while sailing and while anchored, systematically taking into account the ever changing weather conditions of the sea environment.
