Antoine, skipper du Riec'h

A local boy, this passionate skipper doesn't just sail on these waters; he lives in them. At the helm of the Riec'h , he offers much more than a simple excursion: a total immersion in the history and secrets of a sea inlet unique in the world.

A career forged by high standards

The meticulous navigation on board is no accident. A former submariner in the French Navy, Antoine has retained from his years beneath the surface an absolute discipline and Olympian calm. Holding the BACPN (Certificate of Aptitude for Steering Small Vessels), he guarantees impeccable safety. With him, the ocean and the river can be explored with complete peace of mind, guided by a technical expertise that reassures both young and old.

A storyteller of salt water

What makes an outing with Antoine unforgettable is his storytelling. A true living memory of the region, he punctuates the journey with:

  • In-depth knowledge: From local fauna to the capricious currents of the Barre d'Étel, no phenomenon escapes him.

  • Delicious anecdotes: He shares stories known only to locals, reviving the history of tuna boats of yesteryear and the legends of riverside villages.

  • Maritime expertise: His vision of general navigation enriches every exchange, transforming the trip into a true lesson in marine knowledge.

The experience aboard the Riec'h

Sailing with Antoine means choosing authenticity. Between insightful commentary, he knows when to allow silence to admire a sunset over the oyster beds or the flight of a grey heron. His approach is one of generous sharing, where each passenger leaves with the feeling of having, for the duration of a tide, belonged to the Ria.
