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.

The skipper was very good and kind. Even if we had very little wind we could perhaps have used a little more of what was there.

First sailing experience. It was very nice! With friends. We learned a lot about sailing at sea and how to handle the boat. But also, we went to some very beautiful places in the Var, so you can't ask for more. This first course makes you want to embark on another sailing adventure!

We had a great stay! Our skipper Nicolas listened to our expectations, he was able to adapt the itinerary according to our desires and taught us a lot about how the sailboat works. Benevolent, educational, funny... we will leave with him with our eyes closed!
