The skipper

Embark with Olivier - Destination Méditerranée for a cruise on a sailboat

What is your motto ?

Life's too short not to enjoy it now

How did you come to do this job?

I've been sailing since I was four years old, with my father. When my parents left the coast to settle in the north of France, I didn't immediately realize how much I missed the sea and I started my professional life as a bookseller. Then, one day, nostalgia overcame me, so I left everything to join a sailing school in 1995. I first worked in associations, then I passed my professional skipper's diploma. For nearly 10 years, I have spent my summer seasons in Greece and Turkey to discover these Mediterranean coasts that I appreciate above all.

What people say about you?

People say I'm a good skipper, but I don't bathe much. I'm always on the water, so I have more opportunities than they do!

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

I don't really have a better memory in particular, all cruises are great memories!

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

Clients who are smiling during and after the cruise and they say see you soon!

Your style of practice?

I make sure that anyone who wants to participate in the navigation can do so, under my supervision of course. I want to remain master on board. If people prefer not to touch anything, there is no problem for me of course, everyone has their own holiday!
