About my sailing experience
Catamaran and monohull sailor
Welcome to my site. Even though I grew up on a farm, I have a passion for the sea and have been on sailboats since I was 5 years old.
Now as a professional sailor, I specialize in custom-designed trips
for owners and their families, worldwide sailing boat delivery, highly
personalized
instruction, yacht management and owner representation.
I am bilingual french english and I have served my clients in over
25 countries and 5 continents. I love the travel and have spent
considerable time abroad including 7 months in SE Asia, 6 months in New
Zealand, 14 months in the West Indies, and 6 months in North America.
« Obviously Jean is a great sailor and instructor but what I liked even more was his attitude. His appetite for every new day of sailing is contagious and his positivism and sense of humor make him an absolute pleasure to be around. » Mark V. USA
« J'ai travaillé avec Jean sur 3 différents voiliers, et j'ai été vraiment satisfait par son désir d'améliorer le bateau et mes performance à la voile. » Henk E. Netherlands
« We spent 2 months with Jean on our boat sailing through Northern Europe. Jean expertly guided us through our expedition, from port to port and country to country. He was patient, very engaged, and never missed out on teaching opportunity with the crew. Jean was a perfect addition to our team and a skilled Captain. » Peter N. USA
