About
Geoffrey has been sailing from a very young age, due notably to the influence of his brother David who introduced him to sailing and other watersports. Geoffrey has a passion for board sports; sailing, kite surfing and snowboarding are his favourite pastimes. A former commercial mariner, he has also worked in the preparation of racing vessels. He's been a professional skipper since 2010 on boats such as Etoile du Roy, Etoile de France and Le Renard, among others. Geoffrey is currently the managing director of the Saint-Malo firm Yachts Broker, which specialises in the sale of second-hand boats, shipyards and professional skipper services. With Saint-Malo in his blood and seawater in his veins, Geoffrey has always attended (and prepared boats for) the departure of the Route du Rhum. As a young sailor, taking part in the race became a dream that he would never give up on.
