The skipper

Joé was born and raised in Madagascar. Passionate about sailing, he will be happy to make you discover his island by the sea.

What is your motto ?

Happiness is shared!

How did you come to do this job?

Since my earliest childhood I have been on the water. I started on sailing canoes to go fishing, then as a sailor on an 8m monohull and I was trained by the owner. It made me want to take my skipper's diploma, it's done!

What people say about you?

They say I'm a good skipper: I know my job and the sea well!

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

One of my best memories is when I had a customer on board who was afraid of the sea and couldn't swim. I managed to teach him how to swim during a stopover!

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

When at the end of the cruise, all passengers get off with the banana.

Your style of practice?

It's a pleasure cruise. We don't sail in a sporting way. If passengers want to help get the sails up, it's possible, but the majority like to relax
