Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Dear all,

I'm a Yachtmaster ocean certified captain with more than 70 000 miles. I'm French and I speak fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese. I also speak German. I grew up in French Polynesia (Tahiti).

I completed a circumnavigation working on different boats : monohull, catamaran and trimaran. In 2019, I founded an environmental NGO. We are is leading scientific and educative sailing expeditions to the Arctic and raising awareness on climate change doing conference. The NGO is now running well and I can dedicate 100% of my time sailing.

I'm now interested in helping you as a Captain or a Crew with your boat or crew if you need someone to assist or teach you during the summer. I have been helping lots of people doing the hand over with there new sailing boat.
I'm passionate about the stars and sailing. I can teach celestial navigation and give you sailing classes. I also have my a certified dive master's and certified AIDA level 2 in freediving. If you have kids, I love kids so I'm perfectly fine if you have kids onboard.

I love meeting new people, learning, travelling, sailing, outdoor sports, sharing experiences, ... I'm also a Yoga teacher and a sport coach. I like simple things, I'm friendly and I'm easy to live with.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Kind Regards,
Sophie
