About me

Depuis 20 ans, j'enchaîne les saisons en Bretagne, puis en Méditerranée l'été, et aussi l'hiver aux Caraïbes. 21 Transats ! Ambiance toujours excellente. J'adore la voile conviviale et sportive, et le côté découverte hors des sentiers battus, en pleine nature.

What I like to do

Sunbathing

Helping with the steering manoeuvres

Steering the boat

Exploring the surroundings

My experience

J'ai été initié à la voile tout petit et ai du attendre 23 ans pour partir en tant que skipper avec un voilier de 9m et passer la nuit en mer. Dès ce moment, je n'ai plus vécu que pour naviguer à la voile, loin et en entraînant tous mes amis et ma famille. A 24 ans première transat, à 3 sur un Contest 29, jusqu'aux Antilles et aux Bahamas, puis retour en Belgique. A 28 ans, grand départ pour un tour demi tour du monde sur un Sagitta 35 (plan S&S) qui durera trois ans, par Panama, puis les Marquises, et pour finir de nombreux mois dans les archipels de Polynésie, beaucoup en solitaire: Tuamotu, Gambier. Les dix années suivantes, je me consacre à fonder une petite famille en Belgique, en créant un resto original "cuisine de santé". Puis après dix ans, j'achète mon premier voilier pour emmener des équipages comme skipper pro. D'abord un Jeanneau 44, puis un Jeanneau 51, puis un Gibsea 52.

At first, from my son Guglielmo , a special thanks to J.B. for his prompt interest and kind concern when we had problems to get in touch because of my smartphone (next time better an e sim). Than, even if i'm not exactly the best guest to have on bord, i received any kind of support to make me feel confortable and enjoy my stay.. You'll find someone who loves his job and who knows how to do it at best. Really good experience thanks also to Adriana, LuLu e Franco. See you soon!

Very nice adventure at sea for this great first for me with Jean Baptiste and the other teammates: Jean Baptiste is passionate, calm, gentle and very pedagogical for the neophyte that I was. Adventure in the middle of nature to discover the Breton islands which are nuggets, also a human adventure on the magnificent sailboat that cuts through the waves and heels as soon as the wind picks up. What a joy to be at one with all the elements: the sails, the wind, the sun, the waves and the luck of having sailed with the dolphins. Can't wait to be able to return to the Mango with my captain Jean Baptiste to cast off again!
