What is your motto ?

On board, life belongs to you

How did you come to do this job?

Luca: a native of Sardinia, I've always been passionate about the sea, especially underwater hunting. I started sailing with my cousin and maternal uncle some twenty years ago I then decided to do a Professional Youth and Sports certificate to teach sailing to both young and old ... I worked in sailing club and at the same time, I prepared for the Captain 200 Sailing exam. In 2010, I started my sailing company in Maddalena (Sardinia) and then in Saint-Florent in 2011. Sonia: in love with the ocean from a very young age, I am native of the Pyrenees Atlantiques and keen on weekends and holidays in the Basque Country. I entered the world of sailing thanks to my brother, who participated in regattas aboard his Pogo. Meeting Luca at a sailing club allowed me to fully and professionally engage with him when he started his company. I manage the reservations, prepare all the onions, tapenade and limoncello ... and adore cooking on board as soon as I embark! "

What people say about you?

We should ask them, but I think I know how to teach and know how to share my passions in sailing, diving and small meals with a few good wines._x000D_

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

The best memories are certainly the beautiful encounters with cetaceans. The dolphins dancing under the bow waves, their piercing regards, frightening and moving making us the men who we are.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

A crew that promises to come back!

Your style of practice?

With us, everything is adaptable. Relaxation is assured for those who, staring into space, let their souls wander, reads or sleeps by digesting it all. Introduction or improvement in sailing manoeuvres for all those who wish it. Relaxation and learning are not totally incompatible!
