OUR CREW 

Peace of mind aboard Ginette can only be guaranteed by a perfect dynamic and understanding of one another.  This is the case here with Mathieu, Arthur and Tania who are the three pillars of your experience on board. These three crew members have worked together for a long time and get along wonderfully.

Mathieu

CAPTAIN

Passionate about the ocean from an early age, Mathieu spent his childhood on his parents' boat.  Due to a lack of similar program in France, he decided to pursue his studies in oceanography at the University of Hawaii before continuing with a master's degree in environmental management. He then returned to his first passion; navigation. An opportunity for him to work on large private sailboats and discover French Polynesia, where he has been living for more than 15 years.  Joining Ginette is for him the opportunity to combine both of his passions, the ocean and sailing.

Languages: English, French

ZACH

MATE & ENGINEER

Zach is no stranger to transatlantic crossings, having sailed on two sailboats towards Polynesia. He honed his skills under Mathieu's guidance and followed him aboard Ginette.

Incredibly discreet and passionate about sailing, he will be delighted to accompany you for activities, whether you are experienced or a beginner, and ensure that you have an unforgettable time.

Languages: English, Swedish.

Tania

COOK & HOSTESS

Initially graduated in psychology, Tania discovered navigation by chance. She found in a career at sea, the perfect field to combine her passion for the ocean, sailing, traveling with her hospitality and cooking skills.

Passionate about nutrition and cooking, she is self-taught with a wonderfully curious nature, hence will offer you healthy, varied, and delicious dishes. 

Her meals inspired by the islands are made perfect with the catch of the day and the fruits and vegetables found in the local markets. Tania suggests deliciously healthy and seasonal menus inspired by her trips and her passion for cooking. 

She loves to enjoy the beauty of nature and spend time outdoors. Hiking, snorkelling, practicing yoga and acroyoga are some of her favorite activities.
