The ocean has always been central to my life. I grew up with the call of the sea, but everything changed when I was 18. After reading The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier, I made a radical choice: to leave Paris and devote myself entirely to the sea. That decision marked the start of a lifelong journey shaped by sailing, commitment, and a pursuit of freedom.

A passionate, self-taught sailor with an entrepreneurial spirit, I’ve built my career around a simple belief: the sea is more than a workplace or a playground — it’s a school of discipline, adaptability, and connection.

My path has been forged through hands-on experience: yacht maintenance, deckhand duties, skippering, semi-professional racing, and launching my own ventures. With over one and a half circumnavigations of sea time, I’ve sailed across multiple oceans aboard a wide range of vessels, both in offshore cruising and competitive environments. These years at sea have given me a clear and rigorous perspective on yachting, where precision and anticipation are key.

Beyond personal sailing projects and nautical excursions, I joined Odyssea Yachting to support yacht owners and crew arriving in French Polynesia.

As a local maritime agent, my role is to assist vessels from their arrival and throughout their stay. I manage administrative formalities — customs, immigration, maritime affairs — as well as logistics, technical coordination, provisioning, and repair oversight. The role demands versatility, responsiveness, and a strong local network, but above all, it requires careful listening. Every yacht is different, and every situation unique. My mission is to ensure operations run smoothly, discreetly, and efficiently.

In addition to this, I help manage yachts entering the charter market, handling both the administrative and operational sides of the process. From registration and compliance to crew organization and guest logistics, I ensure that every detail is covered so owners can charter with confidence and peace of mind.

I also act as Odyssea Yachting’s yacht broker, assisting clients who are looking to purchase or sell a yacht. Whether advising buyers based on real-world sailing experience or guiding sellers through valuation and positioning, I bring a hands-on, honest approach to every transaction — backed by deep knowledge of the region and industry.

Before joining Odyssea, I led various independent nautical ventures. These entrepreneurial projects gave me a complete view of yacht operations — from technical and logistical concerns to client service and strategic vision. They also taught me how to navigate both the demands of the deck and the expectations of high-end clients.

It’s this dual perspective — sailor and manager — that makes me a dependable point of contact for yacht owners in Polynesia. I understand how a well-managed arrival, charter operation, or sale can shape an entire season. I know the challenges of managing a vessel remotely and the peace of mind that comes with having a trusted contact on-site — someone who anticipates needs, handles issues, and remains available, even when plans shift.

At Odyssea Yachting, I’ve found a team whose values align with mine: excellence, experience, proximity, and attention to detail. We don’t just offer support — we offer peace of mind, built on trust, mastery, and genuine passion.

Today, I take great pride in ensuring that every stopover, charter launch, or brokerage deal is smooth, enjoyable, and professionally handled. Because on a boat, as in life, it’s the small, thoughtful actions, clear instincts, and deep commitment that make all the difference.
