A passionate crew

Comprised of a captain and a deckhand guide , our certified and passionate crew will reveal the Loire's most beautiful secrets from the water. Lucie, Chloé, Bernard, Luc, Olivier, Eugénie, Chléa, Johanna, Marie-Cécile, and Arnaud are at your service to bring the Loire's Saumur riverboat culture back to life.

The crew is...

The pilot, who holds a certificate of competency for operating boats and the ASP (passenger safety certificate), steers the boat, using the current and wind to stay on course. He trains the trainee pilot through a "supervised driving" process.

The deckhand-guide, who holds the ASP (passenger safety certificate), is a bilingual guide whose primary responsibility is passenger safety, followed by attending to visitors' needs to ensure their cruise is an unforgettable experience.

The purser is in charge of supplies and accounting, reservations and orders. He also manages the online community.

The ship's merchant knows his suppliers and the merits of their products. The store is his business. He is helped by the dockworkers.

The shipowner recruits the crew, finances the voyage, equips the ship and sets its route. He may be represented by the shipping agent.

The quality manager , the man with the questions, who capitalizes on know-how and enriches experience. He thinks only of the passengers.
