The skipper

Embark with Nicolas for an unforgettable cruise on a sailboat! Passionate about marine and coastal ecosystems, he will help you have a unique experience at sea, and will take you to explore places where the natural environment is exceptional!

What is your motto ?

Do not project on reality what you want or need to find

How did you come to do this job?

Sailing is a family legacy dating back to my maternal grandfather and his passion. In 1987, I met Fred LEROSE, base leader of the Glénans de Paimpol. He gave me a chance, and passed on this passion to me!

What people say about you?

Perfectionist and demanding more of myself than of others!

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

There have been so many over 25 years ... It is probably first of all a question of pleasure shared with people who left a lasting impression and makes you want to see them again!

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

All in good humour as well as shared laughter. A good group dynamic where everyone did not feel liked they had to make a special effort to adapt to the group or some of these elements. It is also a respected programme knowing that the sea and the natural elements often require the crew to adapt to the constraints of the environment.

Your style of practice?

I like to combine sailing time with a chance to explore. It is important to always have as much fun as possible at sea while adapting to the most fragile. I prefer comfort to performance!
