Who are we?

Our company was founded over 10 years ago. It was founded by a family with a passion for boating. Over time, the existing team has grown and new members have joined the ranks. These new members are yachting professionals with a perfect knowledge of the field and the optimum skills to sail in the best conditions. Aboard luxury vessels, they provide you with top-of-the-range services. These services have built the reputation of our company. Individuals or companies can call on us to create fabulous moments.

Let’s start with the Chairman of Arthaud Yachting: Hugo PRAT. With a past totally linked to the sea, our chairman is quite simply a passionate sailor. He sailed for the first time at the age of 10 and took part in fierce competitions aboard monohull yachts. At the age of 18, he decided to study the nautical industry. He obtained a licence and began his career with a well-known charter company in Cannes. In 2011, he joined Arthaud Yachting as Marketing Director. He became our CEO in 2016. His love of the sea and his in-depth knowledge of yachting make him essential to offering you the perfect boat for your outing.

Another member of the Arthaud Yachting team, Fiona LEONIS is our Charter Broker and Event Manager. Head of the charter department, she organises the representation of the various boat owners. She is also responsible for promoting the boats to clients. She is also in charge of organising sea trips: stages, marketing plan, promotion of the yacht, etc. She also handles all the administrative documents. She is at the forefront of helping customers organise the charter of their yacht. She’ll be on hand to help you find the perfect boat for your needs, as well as advising you on the best itineraries for having fun. Fiona uses her creativity to create fabulous sailing experiences. After completing a Bachelor of Science in Events Management in the UK, she joined our team in 2016.

Now it’s time to introduce our magician who will organise your events on board in the most beautiful way: Jeff MARTIN. After a professional degree in journalism, he travelled for 15 years. In 2020, he joined our team and has put his logistical skills to good use, as well as his adaptability, organisational skills and responsiveness, to help organise your events, whether private or corporate. He knows how to create events that will be remembered in the most beautiful way.

Other members?

Our team is not limited to these three key people. Other experts complete our organisation chart. That’s the case of Kristine RIBAUD, who also has a passion for the sea. The young woman has a master’s degree in international trade and luxury marketing and moved to Cannes from Paris. She joined Arthaud Yachting and became quality charter assistant. She will be at your side to organise your stay at sea and help you find the perfect boat and the ideal trip. With her great organisational skills, she will be able to meet all your requirements.

A company also needs members of a more specialised team, such as an accounting or SEO expert. Our accountant is Caroline PLASSIT, who skilfully combines her knowledge of accounting with her passion for travel. She is responsible for the financial management of our company.

Thomas AUTHIER is the last important member of the team, working in the internet sector. He’s a bit like our Swiss Army knife. He contributes to our reputation and helps us to share our knowledge using natural referencing. Totally passionate about sailing, he has already discovered the Atlantic during a crossing on the Wauquiez sailing boat. And if you want to find out more about this adventure, you can ask him!

You now know a little more about the members of the Arthaud Yachting team. They will be able to create a fabulous outing for you that meets all your requirements. Whether you are a private individual wishing to discover boating on a top-of-the-range boat or you represent a company wishing to organise a team building, seminar or incentive, we will be able to respond to your project in the best possible way.
