At the end of the 90s, he moved to the South Pacific and set up a saltwater sports fishing business. He sailed in this part of the world for over 20 years, on various yachts including some of his own sailboats.
Back in Europe, rather than continue with the French certifications, he decided to take RYA and MCA certifications.
He travels to deliver boats, has worked with exploration-seeking private owners and also with charter companies in the Pacific, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Arctic.

Hello Captain Philippe,
Good day!
