Reach Central America by sail
Hey ocean lovers,
My name is Thibaut Badoual, I’m 28, French, and passionate about everything that floats (and glides — long live surfing).
After my Atlantic crossing, I’m looking to head toward the Central America (Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua… or anywhere else — I’m open to tropical detours). I can embark from Saint Martin or anywhere in the Caribbean.
⚓️ Experience (3,000 nautical miles):
- I started sailing when I was little — first on Optimists, Hobie Cat 16s, and Lasers, before moving on to cruising sailboats.
- Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time at sea, both with family and friends, often as co-skipper (Brittany, Toulon, La Rochelle, Guadeloupe).
- Some of my best memories include a cruise from Saint Lucia to Saint Martin aboard an Astrea 42, with several night passages along the way.
My goal: to share a beautiful human and maritime adventure, reach Central America with the trade winds on a low-carbon voyage, and keep learning from passionate crews.
If you’re looking for a motivated, positive, and seaworthy crew member — both on deck and on a surfboard — I’d be delighted to join you!
Available to chat, meet up, or even go for a sail before the big departure.
See you soon — maybe on board ⛵️
