Professional skipper
Passionate about the art of creating unique experiences
and to optimize your satisfaction in an idyllic setting
Professional, passionate, and experienced skipper, my priority is to provide you with a safe and enjoyable sailing experience during your vacation, for training, at a professional or private event, or on a delivery mission..
Trilingual (French, English, Dutch), at 52 years old, after more than 20 years as a manager in the hospitality sector (hotels, events, and catering) as well as an administrator and head of the sailing department of a cruising club for 15 years in a private capacity, I have chosen to transition into my passion: sailing! And to become a professional skipper..
15 years
experience
+ 12 000
nautical miles
As an experienced skipper, I ensure technical navigation, guaranteeing the safety of the crew and the boat, regardless of the type of mission. With my in-depth knowledge of the navigation areas in the Mediterranean, I choose the best routes and conditions to provide an optimal and safe sailing experience.
My approach to charter service is focused on discretion and attention to detail: you don’t have to worry about anything. From the welcome on board to managing the stops, I ensure that every moment is a time for relaxation, taking care of all tasks related to navigation and organization. Whether you are a group of friends or a family, I customize each trip according to your expectations, combining comfort, safety, and enjoyment.
In addition to my activities as a skipper, I teach sailing courses at a cruising club. This experience has allowed me to develop a teaching approach that will enable you to learn and progress at your own pace, while enjoying the pleasure of sailing.
For those who wish to enhance their experience at sea and become an experienced crew member or skipper, I offer personalized coaching sessions (maneuvers, safety, life on board, etc.)
I love to introduce and cook delicious dishes with local products, take breathtaking images while sailing with my drone to share memories, discover beautiful hiking trails in remote areas, witness bioluminescent plankton as night falls, find the best spots for a snorkeling trip, and pass on my passion to the crew to inspire new vocations.
I am here to listen to you to discuss your projects and advise you on the best way to achieve them.
Greetings Marines,
Benoit
