The skipper

Come aboard with Marianne - Destination Méditerranée for a sailboat cruise

What is your motto ?

The sea has to be earned, sailing has to be learned. Making sailing accessible, logical and reassuring, even for beginners

How did you come to do this job?

After a first career as an IT engineer, I decided to take a new direction in my life by getting closer to the sea, an environment that attracts me as much for its calm as for its demands. For the past ten years, I've been sailing regularly, whether on Mediterranean cruises or on more distant projects, notably to Antarctica, the Arctic and three Atlantic crossings. These navigations have enabled me to gain experience, better understand the boats and become familiar with varied conditions.

What people say about you?

Our sailing courses focus on personalized progress, good humor, mutual aid and crew cohesion

To know about you, apart from your job?

I also scuba dive, ski and snowboard, activities that complement my relationship with the elements and enrich my approach to teaching at sea: observation, anticipation and confidence.

Life on a journey

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

You'll progress in real-life conditions: maneuvers, anchoring, navigation, weather analysis, safety and boat management. Depending on your progress objectives, you can also validate FFV levels 1 to 3 directly during sailing lessons

Your style of practice?

I emphasize: the pleasure of life on board, a progression adapted to each person's pace, simple and concrete explanations, safety as the guiding principle, conviviality and mutual help on board.
