Sail whatever way you like. The skipper will keep an eye out!

I made my first runs on a small family cruiser. And I haven't stopped since! I started as a light sailing instructor, around the year 1995, aboard a 6,60 meter boat which allowed me to roam the coasts of Breton. A few years later, the boat grew, and the perimeter navigation too! Destinations included Madeira, the Canaries, Cape Verde, the Azores and back to Brittany! I then became a professional skipper and created my company in this field in 2002. Since then, after many nautical miles and sailing has is stilling working its magic: Ireland, Scotland, the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic Tower!

My teammates talk about how patient, educational, and trustworthy I am. Are they objective? :)

Life on a journey

A dawn arrival at Porto Santo, and the smell of wet land after 10 days of sea.

A beautiful trajectory on the surface of the planet, a colourful, promising destination! And the astonished look on the crew's faces!

The sailboat is a magical way of travelling, which for a long time makes it possible to travel pleasantly between islands and continents. Understanding and mastering environmental matters (weather, currents, tides) as well as having fun making the most of our time at sea: the game is exciting.
