About us

Hello everyone, my name is Valentin and I am a full-time ⛵😁 sailing instructor.
I am said to be smiling, open and attentive to others. The trainees describe me as a pedagogical and kind person. People read me like an open book and I like to share my little knowledge with anyone who wants to ;)
My weak point: I'm a bit chauvinistic on the edges... The Mediterranean is better than the Atlantic ^^ DSL the Bretons 😘
PS: If you want to bribe me, chocolate and homemade cakes work very well 🫣

After sailing all my childhood with my family on different houseboats, I developed a passion for the sea and this unparalleled feeling of freedom. After a brief stint as a project manager in the construction sector, I retrained as a sailing instructor in 2022, to pass on this passion for sailing and discovering the sea.

I would be happy to pass on everything I know to you in a good mood and kindness;)

With the sailing association we offer sailings mainly in the Mediterranean, my favorite terrain the Hyères Islands and the surrounding area. Lots of cruising in Corsica and participating in the Jasmine Route from Toulon to Bizerte. As a dinghy sailing instructor, I learned to listen, be patient and want to transmit my passion as best as possible to all audiences.

Weekend sailing course from Bandol

Thank you to Stéphanie for the 2 days spent with her. She was able to teach us the beginnings of sailing. Practice on the sea on Saturday and theory at the quay on Sunday (too windy). It's a shame we would have been happy to go out on Sunday, but safety first. For the rest? Who is Valentine? He had to contact us to answer our questions. No response to the emails and voicemails we had sent. The night before we learn that we have to have Patrick and on Saturday we have Stéphanie. Even the person in charge who was present on Saturday morning was not aware of it! A great vagueness for the organization of these two days. For provisioning, no information except just when you board. For the next sailors, take a tour of the boat's galley. There is plenty to do for several days, this will avoid duplication and there will be more room in storage. Synchronize the two sites, on your appointment at 8:00 a.m. on SNB's 9:00 a.m.

Very good time, Valentin our Skipper very very well 👍 the boat would need a little rejuvenation, but very beautiful boat all the same. There you have it, we had a great week and we learned a lot about sailing.

I really enjoyed this experience, which was very educational but also stimulating and varied. The skipper, Valentin, was great. The boat is nice and in good condition, even if it has some moisture problems.
