Bio
The ocean has been at the heart of my life and career for more than 35 years. What began as a childhood passion grew into a deep and enduring commitment to the world of yachting — encompassing everything from competitive sailing to transatlantic crossings, yacht maintenance, charter operations, and full-service management.
My journey started with dinghy racing and training alongside the French national team in preparation for the Olympic Games. Those early experiences taught me the discipline, precision, and attention to detail that are fundamental in every aspect of yacht operation and ownership.
Over the years, I expanded my horizons offshore, completing multiple Atlantic crossings and working my way from deckhand to captain aboard large catamarans. Along the way, I developed a thorough understanding of the complexities of yacht management — not just sailing, but technical upkeep, logistics, safety, guest services, and the many moving parts that must work seamlessly together.
In parallel, I built technical expertise by running a yacht repair facility and managing refits, ensuring vessels were maintained to the highest standards. I later operated a watersports business and went on to manage a major charter base in Guadeloupe for eight years. These experiences gave me a comprehensive view of yacht ownership from every angle — operational, technical, commercial, and client-facing.
Odyssea Yachting was born out of this lifetime of experience. I founded the company to offer yacht owners a complete, reliable, and knowledgeable service partner — one who truly understands both the pleasures and the responsibilities of owning a yacht.
Today, Odyssea Yachting provides a full suite of services including yacht sales and purchases, charter brokerage, and comprehensive yacht management. Our expertise covers registration, insurance, financial administration, technical management, crew placement, charter marketing, and operational support.
What sets Odyssea Yachting apart is not just our network or service offering — it’s our approach. We work hands-on, applying real-world knowledge to protect your investment, enhance your enjoyment, and manage every aspect of ownership with the utmost professionalism and care. We understand the high standards yacht owners expect, because we have lived them ourselves.
Owning a yacht is a unique privilege, and my goal is to make the experience as seamless and rewarding as possible. At Odyssea Yachting, we offer more than services — we offer peace of mind, backed by decades of expertise, passion for the sea, and a commitment to excellence.
