Manu
Manu
Hello, my name is Manu. I have been sailing as a professional skipper for over 30 years. Holding a Level 1 Sailing State Certificate and a Captain 200 certificate, I have acquired solid experience in both coastal and offshore sailing.
I have made numerous Atlantic crossings and sailed in the Pacific and the Mediterranean. My career has also led me to undertake many deliveries, skipper on tall ships, work in professional fishing and lead cruises.
I know South Brittany and its maritime treasures, its waters, anchorages, and ports particularly well. This local knowledge allows you to fully enjoy each stopover and sail with complete peace of mind in a truly beautiful sailing area.
Passionate about the sea, I take as much pleasure in sailing as in sharing my experience.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced sailor, I will accompany you with pedagogy and good humor to help you experience a real adventure at sea.

Starting from Locmariaquer, in the Gulf of Morbihan, several routes are possible:
discovery and navigation in the Gulf of Morbihan, exploration of Quiberon Bay with stops near Houat, Hoëdic or Belle-Île, and for longer courses, sailing to Groix Island and the Glénan archipelago before returning to Locmariaquer.
The nights unfold according to the stages and conditions, either at anchor in sheltered coves, or alongside in a port, to fully enjoy the maritime atmosphere and stopovers in South Brittany.
Each cruise is therefore tailored to offer the best possible experience, combining learning, discovery and the pleasure of sailing.
