Embark with Mathilde - Skipper Pornichet Port

The skipper

Come on board with Mathilde - off to Pornichet and the surrounding area!

Safety first, but always listening, and if we can do something fun, we do it.

I've been sailing since the age of 7. After 20 years of high-level sailing and merchant navy studies, I couldn't stop sailing: I love being on the water.

The benevolence, the fact that everyone can take part in driving the boat or maneuvering, and the fact that we explain a lot of things to them throughout the day.

Life on a journey

The beautiful sunrises and sunsets, always special moments in a day's sailing; the day I almost hit a whale that came out of the water right in front of us; the whale blows as far as the eye can see in the Indian Ocean. Otherwise, fortunately, I haven't had any major problems to share.

Succeeding in taking passengers on board with you in the management of the boat, and ensuring that they are not just passengers.

I make sure that everyone has a good day; always listening to passengers, I want to see smiles on board and memories etched in the mind.
