Meet Patrick and Sandra

aboard the cat 'Tamara'

 

Skipper Patrick Lefebvre

A French citizen, born on September 12, 1952

Speaks fluent English and Spanish

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Born in Brussels (Belgium), Patrick has been a recognized "pro" for quite a while in the large sailboat charter business. After several years of intensive sailing in the Caribbean aboard large single-hull boats owned by " Merex ", he finally settled in the islands and now lives in Tahaa, a small island in the heart of the Leeward Islands. Patrick has the same passion for what he does, in those islands in which he knows the finest mooring places. He joined Archipels Croisières after he skippered the Lagoon 57 « Vave’a» and the maxi-catamaran « Nemo ».

A man with experience, Patrick has a highly developed artistic and aesthetic sensibility. An open-mind and a special talent for organization makes him the perfect host for a successful cruise.

Chef-Hostess Sandra Hioe

 

A French citizen – born on July 22, 1973

Speaks fluent Tahitian and basic English

A native of the island of Tahaa, Sandra was raised in the outer islands. She really is that special local touch to every cruise and the passengers clearly love it.

An outstanding cook, Sandra is most attentive to the well-being of everyone aboard.

She worked previously for two years with her boyfriend Patrick aboard Vave’a and Nemo. They complement each other superbly and this really shows.
