Gilles Haudrechy
Director
Born in France, Gilles started sailing aboard a little Optimist at the tender age of seven. He moved to the UK when he was 18 where he managed restaurants and nightclubs while honing his English. A holiday to Egypt in his mid-twenties saw Gillies reignite his love of the ocean, and he relocated to the Middle East to become a professional diver aboard a luxury yacht. Over the next three years, he made around 3000 dives in the Red Sea and gained invaluable experience in managing high-end luxury yachts. In 2008, he crossed the world from east to west, exploring his different cultures, oceans, adding to himself another 3000 dives, meeting new people and gaining an open-mind on his surroundings. In 2011, He became owner of a Bahia 46 Fountain Pajot where he intensively explores most of the corners of French Polynesia. After finally selling it, he then went on to skipper a small super-yacht until he decided to finally settle down in Tahiti and open his own business and share his extensive experience, knowledge and passion for the ocean with clients throughout beautiful French Polynesia visitors.
