The skipper

Jean-Luc, our professional skipper in Porto-Vecchio, will take you aboard his First 47.7 for a hands-on cruise from Porto-Vecchio to Ajaccio or the north of Sardinia. You get to decide the route! Your professional skipper also offers a day's sailing from Sète.

What is your motto ?

If you think that adventure is dangerous, try routine. It is lethal. (Paulo Coelho).

How did you come to do this job?

I was born in Saint-Malo 49 years ago, so the sea and sails have always been part of my world. I have had a varied career from the family yacht to the sailing school on the Glénan Islands, from voluntary work to humanitarian aid, all of which has brought me great experience. In 2008, after sixteen years in teaching and social work, I decided to turn my passion into my profession, created my own business and became a professional skipper and sailing instructor. Today, I am eager to share what I know, my experiences and the pleasure of life at sea. "

What people say about you?
