Embark with Hervé and you will love the sea

I took my first steps in the world of sailing at Club Nautique in Antibes aged 8 on an Optimist by quickly becoming part of the competition teams in the Olympic pre-selection stages in 4.70 I never stopped learning after this revelation and bought my first monohull sailboat at the age of 18. I obtained the Sailing State Certificate and Merchant Marine Captain exam to then be able to open my own cruising school by teaching on my sailboat, a Sunshine 36 in 1986 at only 20 years old. In 2002 I built a sailboat Alu pen 55 to participate in the Route du Rhum. I finished in 4th place, won the distance record over 24 hours and also took part in the Tour of Corsica with Florence Artaud as a teammate in 2003, finishing second with a small lap record ... It is a 16.5-meter all-aluminium monohull with 3 cabins, a large wardroom and a remarkably spacious cockpit that offers nice feelings of speed and light in a warm and comfortable setting. Since then, I have constantly varied the destinations and shared with many teammates my passion and the joy of discovering privileged and unique anchorages combined with the satisfaction of driving a racing boat with a unique story, comfortable and incomparable performance and of course always ensuring a friendly atmosphere.

"" A very beautiful experience on an exceptional boat with a skipper knows his boats like the back of his hand, he knows how to take care of his boat and his crew. He's the perfect captain ". "" Hervé is super friendly and a maestro aboard his boat which is unique, a casual atmosphere for the moments of anchorage in the most appropriate spots. "" "" Excellent at explaining things, professional, always smiling, kind educator, exceptional cook, pays careful attention to the desires of the crew ... ""

Hervé ensures the smooth running of the internship with training that is both thorough and informative in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Life on a journey

Here they are: Arriving at the Route du Rhum in Pointe à Pitre. The smell of land when approaching it. The Volcano of Fogo waking up after being dormant for 20 years on the day we arrived on this island of Cape Verde. Feeling that the crew members are enjoying as much as I am and things fall into place. Surfing at 20 knots on the Atlantic waves. The always surprising escort of dolphins and whales

When everyone is satisfied and at ease, seeing the team members catch the sailing bug...

Over 30 years of coastal and transatlantic sailing, I have dedicated myself to enjoying sailing by offering a thorough and informative education, adapted to everyone, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Taking part, opening your mind and learning while enjoying the stopovers and holidays to relax and be amazed by such beautifully preserved spots.
