COACHING

Improve your sailing skills thanks to my teaching qualities. Certified FFV leisure boating coach, I adapt to your objectives and give you the keys to achieve them, whether you are a beginner boater or an experienced sailor.

SEA TRIP IN MARSEILLE

Sailing or on a motor boat, for the day or for an evening, to celebrate an event, to discover the Calanques from Marseille to Cassis, as a connoisseur I will know how to adapt and offer you a personalized itinerary. I am one of the skippers approved by the Calanques de Marseille National Park and have a network of partners to find the vessel of your choice, so don't hesitate!

TEAM BULDING

Motivate and improve the cohesion of your team by participating in a regatta. Whether it's a corporate regatta or a major event on the calendar, in Marseille on our magnificent Olympic body of water there is no shortage of opportunities!

CRUISE

Do you want to cruise with family or friends? For one or two weeks? Discover a region or an island by sail? I could advise you and support you, both in the choice of your sailboat, the navigation area, the pace and the route depending on the period, the weather and your desires. I have had the chance to travel the Mediterranean and the Caribbean up and down since I was a teenager, trust me to become your skipper and your guide!

DELIVERIES

Have you just bought a sailboat or catamaran? Do you need to move your vessel to another navigation area? Are you a shipyard or a rental company with a need to move one of your vessels? I provide support, preparation and technical control before setting sail. A navigation plan is communicated to you and you are informed in real time of the progress of the mission. A technical assessment is communicated to you after the entrusted vessel has been secured and cleaned. I can transport your boat alone over short distances, or provided that the journey can be carried out in several stages of less than 24 hours in order to ensure a reasonable rest period.

If the route does not allow it, the presence of a second professional sailor on board (or even a third depending on the size of the boat) is required (The insurance contract for your vessel must be checked)...unless the owner wishes and can be on board, it would then be with pleasure that we would sail together!

Dominique PROST

PRESIDENT DU GROUPE DE SURVEILLANCE RMP

On several occasions I had the chance and the pleasure of sailing on a long cruise on my boat with Nicolas. Lucky because, whether in rough weather navigation, weather strategy, optimization of performance under sail or boat maintenance, thanks to him, I was able to really progress in everything that makes an informed boater. Pleasure because, on a human level, the guy is always in a good mood, always positive, always listening! I'm leaving with him as soon as possible...!
