Barbara: Barbara grew up in Cannes, South of France. As a teenager she spent her free time on the sea, racing Hobie Cat 16 or scuba diving. When she became a student she got her sailing instructor certificate to ensure being at sea every summer season. She studied communication, anthropology and journalism and became a documentary director whilst maintaining her passion for the sea (hobie cat 16, windsurf, canoe, free diving) in the French riviera or in the Caribbean. After a few years in Paris, she decided that she could not live so far from the ocean and started a new life, back on the coast. She then entered the yachting industry and tried to add her standards for sustainability to the motoryacht industry.
