I left France twenty years ago for my first Atlantic crossing on a Wauquiez 47. This experience made me decide to work at
sea. Since then, I have been fortunate to be instructed by experienced and good professional captains.
I enjoy my job and like to run the boat safely for the comfort and well-being of guests and crew.
For the last years I have been working mainly on motor yachts but keep my feet into the sailing field by taking part of all the
regatta I can (specially the classic ones)
