Embarquez avec Laurence - Destination Cote d'Azur pour une croisière en voilier

What is your motto ?

We are always well at sea

How did you come to do this job?

i started with the merchant navy by making the cab in Porquerolles I followed by a transatlantic and the sea caught me

What people say about you?

Pedagogical, calm and professional.

To know about you, apart from your job?

Passion for horse riding that I practiced for 15 years; I also created and directed an association of information and awareness of boaters: ECO l'EAU on the island of Porquerolles where I lived for 25 years (founder of the Eco Gestes campaign for the Mediterranean); fully into regattas whether in classic, modern, multihull. I am always competitive. I like it when a boat works well. I have just brought back a multihull (which participated in the last Route du Rhum: Use it Again) from Pointe à Pitre to Lorient in 11.5 days and all downwind, which is rare. I read a lot, I love movies.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

Thousands of mega memories, but a full red moonrise following a sumptuous sunset and happy clients. A wildlife safari during a trip to the Balearic Islands !!!! My pirate grannies who come back every year!

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

When people are happy and want to come back. When they feel they have learned something (in navigation, in environment, in weather, in human relations.....liste non exhaustive)

Your style of practice?

Safety first
