Born in southern France, near the Mediterranean, Guillaume started his passion for the sea and sailing at an early age.
He received his sailing instructor diploma which enabled him to teach in a sailing school during his university holidays.
After graduating, Guillaume worked for several years at a software development company while continuing to sail for pleasure primarily in the Mediterranean.

Making a choice between his two passions, the mountains and the sea was a challenge, but when the chance to deliver a yacht to the Caribbean presented itself, it led him to pursue his training for his captain’s license and turn his passion for sailing into a career! For nearly 19 years.
