The skipper

I exchange with my teammates about their expectations, and I adapt to their wishes, while taking care to ensure the safety of the whole crew. Everyone can participate in the manoeuvres, or even take the helm. I also offer tailor-made training (maps, weather, currents, manoeuvres of any kind, mooring techniques, anchorage, etc. ...)

What is your motto ?

Take pleasure whatever your level

How did you come to do this job?

My father had a boat. I took my first steps on the water ... I have always wanted since I was a little boy to be at sea, to work in boating, and I always dreamed of going all around the world.

What people say about you?

What do they say about me ... anyone?!

To know about you, apart from your job?

I am passionate… I'm a foodie ... I like to travel ... not necessarily that far. I like meeting people...

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

I have a lot ... a lot ... A boat trip to San Blas (Panama), with a band of joyful lurons, an unforgettable mooring in Houat with trainees, a climb up the Odet accompanied by the wonderful scents from Brittany...

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

A successful cruise should see lots of smiles from the sea air, and sparkling eyes from all the beautiful images they have witnessed. A pleasure shared by the entire crew.

Your style of practice?

From my job as a sailing instructor, I adapt my programme to the weather and my guests' experience. I sail calmly, not in a rush, and attentive to my crew.
