Philippe
Skipper
Philippe has been passionate about the sea and boats since childhood. He started sailing at the age of 15. By the age of 25, he had sailed on 20 to 32-meter sailing boats, as well as on several ships in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean sea. He is a true sea lover. He is certified High-Quality Whale-Watching® and is committed to protecting the environment. Indeed, his sailing techniques have a very small impact on marine life, including cetaceans and other animals in the Mediterranean.
He will welcome you warmly and with a big smile aboard his boat. He knows all the best spots on the Corsican coast, and he’s not afraid to share them! He will take you to the most stunning places, whatever cruise you choose.

Alexandre
Skipper
This Corsican native of Ajaccio is also a lover of the sea. Initially engaged in the French Navy, he joined the Marina Vela team in 2017. Alexandre has also been at the helm of numerous catamarans in Corsica and the West Indies. Wishing to commit himself to protecting the environment of the Pelagos Sanctuary, this sailing enthusiast has the High- Quality Whale-Watching® eco-certification.
He is thus committed to behaving in an ecologically responsible manner, in order to ensure the tranquillity of the cetaceans. Among other things, he loves the coastal landscape of the island of Beauty. With him, however, you are not safe from surprises. He knows the creeks and must-see places like the back of his hand !
