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.

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!

We spent five days of training on the [hidden] sailboat and are delighted with our experience. We were able to progress at our own pace, thanks to the benevolent pedagogy and patience of Valentin who was an excellent skipper, smiling and very pleasant. The sun being out, we enjoyed magnificent landscapes and anchorages. The days were dense and very formative, but in the end they went by very (too) quickly alongside great teammates, whom we had the joy of getting to know. In short, we are already thinking about our next departure date on this very safe and perfect sailboat to learn.
