In a few words

Take the helm during a total immersion dedicated to learning offshore sailing . Departing from Arzal , this intensive course on a Feeling 416 , a sailboat that is both high-performance and comfortable, prepares you for the demands of long-distance crossings, such as transatlantic crossings .

Far from being a mere passenger, you become an active member of the crew. Under the expert guidance of your instructor, you participate in all maneuvers: from charting to managing the multi-day navigation strategy. The training takes place in a small group of only five trainees, guaranteeing personalized progress and strong team cohesion.

The program emphasizes autonomy and hands-on experience: logbook maintenance, shorthanded maneuvers, and night watch management under the stars. Life on board is organized in double cabins or the saloon, offering an authentic seafaring experience. For your convenience, it's possible to embark the day before departure. A technical and human adventure ideal for taking your sailing skills to the next level.

  • Progress over several days of sailing

Corentin

Sailing is something you fall into and you're hooked. For me, it was at the age of 7 when I spent a few hours on the Corentin in Quimper. A crew member showed me how to coil the lines, and I've never forgotten the technique. That's how I explain my passion for the sea and sailing.

I got back into sailing seriously in 2013 and launched my own business as a skipper to rent sailboats in 2015.

Since then, I've never been far from the docks, and I passed my BPJEPS Sailing qualification in 2024 so I could run my own courses.
