CAPTAIN: Philippe LEROUX

CAPTAIN 500 - STCW 2010 - Powerboat 2- Yacht Master Offshore,
Ocean and MCA Master200gt/500gt Unlimited - Qualified engineer
Languages: French, English & Spanish
Philippe has been passionate about water in all its forms since his earliest childhood. Sailing, of course, but also fishing, diving...
He first started sailing on the family boats, but his intense appetite for discovery and exploration pushed him to think bigger and further afield.
At the end of the 80s, as a photojournalist specializing in travel and the outdoors, he worked with specialized sailing magazines and discovered numerous destinations in the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Pacific and the Mediterranean.
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.
He´s committed to the safety and comfort of everyone on board and will be delighted to welcome you abooad ASTROLABE, the perfect yacht to show you the most beautiful anchorages during this tailor-made program.

Languages: French, English
I am 26 years old, I was born in Paris and raised in Marseille by the sea.
I have been passionate about cooking since I was very young, having learned with my grandmother.
After an internship at the 3 forts Restaurant of the Sofitel Marseille, I continued my culinary studies Hotel High School until 2016.
I then decided to go to Paris where I work in high-end company restaurants, as well as in a chic Bistro.
After a back operation, I returned to Marseille and became second and then chef in a seaside restaurant. I also set up my own food truck.
Today, by joining the ASTROLABE team, I´m realizing my desire to return to my second passion, the sea, and I can´t wait to cook for our future guests.
