Owner of S/Y “ Pampidoo” Solaris 50 (Belgium)
“Open Mind Yachting” took care of the delivery of my brand new Solaris 50 from Monfalcone (Italy) to Saint-Tropez. I was onboard for the first part of the delivery to Corfu (Greece). I was impressed by Pierre’s professionalism and knowledge! The boat was convoyed thoughtfully and within the scheduled timeframe, despite a series of technical issues that were all resolved efficiently and professionally. Thank you, “Open Mind Yachting”!
Owner of S/Y “ I Neverland” Solaris 50 (Greece)
I spend 7 weeks with Pierre this past summer, on my brand new yacht “ I Neverland” ( Solaris 50) .
During this time I had on board different group of friends and family, and we sailed from Sardinia to Corsica to the French and Italian Riviera and from there on, Pierre and myself transfer the yacht to Greece, where she will be stationed.
Although Pierre is an easy going person and our relation was never very strict, he exhibited professionalism and despite being a pleasant company, he was very discreet when needed.
Pierre is a very energetic person, an experienced sailor and he can handle the yacht under any circumstances in a expert manner. He loves his job and he took thorough care of my yacht.
Our time together was very pleasant, there was never a conflict, and all my guests were very fond of him. When our collaboration came to an end I was regretful parting with him.
I hope we will have the opportunity to sail together again in the future.

Owner of S/Y “ Mockingbird” Grand Soleil 43 (Belgium)
In early October, as part of my boat’s participation in the Middle Sea Race, we entrusted our vessel to “Open Mind Yachting” for the delivery from Dénia (Alicante, Spain) to Malta, approximately 700 nautical miles.
We stayed in regular contact during the delivery, which Pierre handled very professionally, in challenging weather conditions and without stops.
One week later, we found Mockingbird in Malta, in impeccable condition, ready to start this very prestigious race, for which Pierre also kindly joined the crew. Thanks to “Open Mind Yachting” for this flawless service!
Owner of SY "Asphodèle" Delher 46 (France)
Last summer, we went on a three-week trip to Corsica and Sardinia aboard a Dehler 46. Even though we are experienced sailors, choosing to go with a professional skipper like Pierre offers many advantages: increased safety in bad weather, the selection of good anchorages, and knowledge of the sites, as well as ongoing learning to improve our maneuvering and navigation skills. Pierre was very attentive to our expectations, very available to guide us through maneuvers, and did not hesitate to offer advice on improving our port entry and anchoring practices. His discretion, kindness, and calm confidence made this trip unforgettable.

I was very pleased with their services. Notwithstanding strong winds, the boat was delivered in perfect condition and in accordance with the agreed terms.
