About COPSAILING

  Simon was born in France in 1993. An unconditional lover of the ocean, Simon has always sailed. Sailing is a passion passed down from his amateur skipper father, with whom he embarks on family cruises. Mediterranean islands, Brittany, Thailand, Caribbean, Polynesia, ... Monohull or catamaran, the trips are numerous and the experiences enriching.

It is during his school holidays that Simon continues his practical and theoretical learning at the Glénans school on different media. Adolescent Simon perseveres. He became a sailing instructor and taught dinghy sailing and windsurfing to children and adults for 7 consecutive years while continuing his studies. Not thriving at university, Simon decided to make his passion his profession.  He then engages in  trained as a professional skipper at Club Yachting Tenerife, an approved base of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and began his career at the age of 24. He carries out conveyances to get even tougher. It asserts itself in the Mediterranean and in the North Atlantic. In 2019 Simon made an essential meeting, Olivier PITRAS, a French navigator expatriated in Norway, who was the first to cross “The Northwest Passage” in 1999. He embarked on his 76-foot “Southern Star”. It was a real revelation for Simon who had never sailed beyond the polar circle. After discovering destinations with warm seas as a family, Simon discovers cold regions with their northern lights and promises to return there.  He passed his sailing instructor diplomas consecutively in 2019 and 2023 (RYA Cruising Instructor and RYA Yachtmaster Instructor) in order to acquire all the educational tools necessary for professional skipper training. With this dual training as a professional skipper and trainer, Simon imposes his rigor as a sailor in the service of transmitting his passion.

In 2019 Simon created his company Copsailing. It offers both novices and experienced tailor-made stays during which sailing can rub shoulders with other desires, such as excursions, ski tours, treks, visits to historic sites, botany, golf, gastronomy, ...
