Eco-responsible activities
Marine fauna and flora protection is important to us; this is why the majority of our activities are directly linked to ecology. We aim to raise awareness of ways to preserve the environment…while sailing on the sea!
Collaborative sailing, training, teamwork, sustainable development are all aspects that are important to us.
A motivated team is the engine of a successful collaboration.
Each member brings their knowledge and skills to participate in the smooth running of activities, to live a motivating experience and to return home with a new perspective. We train you to collaborate on a daily basis and to effectively propel new projects. Watch that learning curve!

Yorick
Informaticien & Skipper
Yorick is also a computer scientist by trade and career, but it is on the water that his full potential unfolds. Passionate about sailing both on lakes and at sea, what animates him the most is sharing his skills within a group. A group that he will have taken care to form as much on the water as around a good meal. He can be found as easily at the helm of the boat as at the back of the cabin, recharging the batteries of all that is electronic. Yorick has already participated in and organized seven sea voyages on sailboats 30 to 50 feet long. He is arguably the most important person on board.
