About

I have been sailing since my early childhood, starting with sailing in St Jean Cap Ferrat. My passion for watersports led me to become a professional seafarer. After more than 20 years of sailing, I know perfectly all the facets of this profession. As a Captain, I understand that a large yacht represents a significant capital investment and therefore it is imperative that the value of that investment is protected. I pass on my knowledge to my crew to always evolve and offer excellent service to my guests.
