Captain Alain Guillaume
A native of Reims in the Champagne region of France, Alain's love of sailing led him to move to the Mediterranean to pursue his passion. He started his professional yachting career as a sailing teacher, receiving his Master Certificate of Competency in 1988 and skipper's license in 1992. He has been doing yacht deliveries since 1987 and made his first Atlantic crossing that year. The beauty of the Caribbean and year-round sailing drew him to settle in Guadeloupe, where he has lived since 1991. Over the last 15 years, Alain has captained charter yachts, primarily catamarans, from 55 to 78 feet in length, performing all the technical maintenance onboard as well as being a charming host and tour director.
Alain loves to share his sailing experience and skills with his guests on Alidade. He has been sailing in the Lesser Antilles from the Virgin Islands to Venezuela since 1991 and is still discovering all the beauty of this wonderful area. He loves sports, especially water sports, and true to his earlier career, is an excellent teacher for those new to sailing and snorkeling.
