Operation "Women at the Helm"
On 8 March, for International Women's Day, we are launching a new initiative on board: Operation “Women at the Helm”.
Throughout the season, we will be celebrating women of the sea: those who sail, those who take the initiative, those who dare to take the helm.
Because the sea is also a story about women.
Foreword
To all women
Because the sea has long been a man's world, and yet women have always had their place in it.
We want to honour all women:
- Those who work
- Those who care for others
- Those who make their mark in still very male-dominated worlds
- Those who set up their own ventures
- Those who travel
- Those who celebrate an important moment in their lives
- Those who get married
- Those who simply dream of setting sail
Free, curious, bold women.
"If you have a dream, chase it. The limits are often those we place on ourselves."
- Ellen MacArthur
First chapter
A monthly meeting
From the 8 May, and every 8th of the month until 8 October, we are offering the cruise:
“Women at the Helm” - an afternoon at sea for women only
A moment for:
- sail together
- meet new sailing friends
- share a unique experience on the water
A simple, friendly and inspiring space among women.
Second chapter
Give women a voice
Throughout the season, we will be giving a voice to the women who keep our boats and our business afloat: sailors, captains, shore-based team members.
Through a series of regularly published interviews, they will share:
- their profession
- their journey
- their experience of the sea
- and a bit of themselves
A way to discover what goes on behind the scenes of sailing and to highlight those who contribute daily to making this maritime adventure a reality.
Third chapter
A hen party that takes to the high seas
The sea is also the perfect setting for celebrating life's big moments… and a hen party deserves an unforgettable adventure.
Between the 8 March and 8 July, all hen parties booked during this period will benefit from a special discount.
Sailing in the Calanques, time with friends, a swim and precious memories before the big day.
Fourth chapter
Those who hold the helm
Some women choose paths where they are still too few: police officers, firefighters, soldiers, sailors, drivers…
Through the initiative Women at the Helm, we wish to honour those who excel every day in professions that are still largely male-dominated.
To thank them, we are offering a 15% discount for any group of at least 3 women.
An opportunity to share a moment with colleagues, friends or women of character, in a unique setting.
"At sea, we discover that we are capable of much more than we ever imagined."
