Embark with Xavier - Skipper Guadeloupe

The skipper

If you wish, you can take part in the maneuvers.
The Kaïdoz, the boat I'm steering, has two linked rudders, which makes for safer sailing.
Passengers can hoist a sail or tack a jib, as long as the maneuvers are prepared in advance.
It all depends on the interests of the passengers, the weather conditions and the situation.
I don't give sailing lessons, but I do share my knowledge of the sea and the surrounding flora and fauna.

"Sailing is about choosing your route and taking responsibility for your choices."

I gained my experience in sport sailing by becoming a sailing instructor, then alternating between fishing for six months and sailing on old sailing ships for six months. I also obtained my C200voile certification.

People say I'm passionate, genuine and approachable.

Apart from sailing, I'm a keen swimmer and runner. I observe absolute sobriety at sea. I also play the Irish flute and have been making pottery for 15 years.

Life on a journey

My best cruising memories are of trips to Sark, Herm and Auriny aboard an old sailing ship with enthusiastic passengers.

For me, a cruise is successful when passengers leave the ship with stars in their eyes, that is, when they have had a memorable and enriching experience.

I'm a keen sailor, who likes to exchange and share experiences.
