The skipper

Sail with Valentin, your professional skipper, who will teach you sailing from Bandol!

What is your motto ?

It is not the man who takes the sea, it is the sea who takes the man

How did you come to do this job?

The passion for sailing was passed on to me by my parents, with whom I have been sailing since I was little.

I first started in a club on Optimists then on Hobiecats and for ten years now I have been sailing on habitable monohulls, mainly in the Mediterranean. It has become over time a devouring passion, which I recently had the opportunity to transform into a dream job.

I am now a BPJEPS cruise instructor in training since January 2023 for this company, on one of the most beautiful bodies of water in the region. I work on the entire habitable section of the club, with Saturday afternoon lessons and on-board weeks during the summer season.

What people say about you?

Calm, patient and passionate!

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

Many good memories. The best? Maybe the next one.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

A cruise where everyone is happy and enjoys living on the boat.

Your style of practice?

I am committed to passing on my passion and helping as many people as possible discover the wonderful world of habitable sailing.
