The skipper

As a passionate skipper, I place great importance on safety, transmission and a good atmosphere on board. I accompany each participant as he or she progresses, with the aim of helping people discover sailing and sharing the pleasure of being at sea.

What is your motto ?

The sea means freedom.

How did you come to do this job?

I started sailing on my father's boat. It was there that I discovered the sea, sailing and the pleasure of being on the water. Over time, this passion became an increasingly important part of my life, until I decided to make it my profession.

What people say about you?

From the feedback I get, I'm a very reassuring teacher. It's very important to me that everyone feels at ease on board, understands what they're doing and can progress with confidence throughout the navigation.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

My fondest memory remains an Atlantic crossing, during which I brought back my own boat. It was an unforgettable experience, both demanding and particularly powerful on a personal level.

Your style of practice?

Safety and learning are my top priorities. I like to pass on my experience, explain maneuvers and allow everyone to participate, whatever their level. For me, making progress in sailing should also be done in a good atmosphere, with conviviality and the pleasure of sharing navigation.
