MEET THE TARKA CREW
David LOUIS
Captain
David, 47, professional skipper since 2004, BPPV, captain 200 sail and captain 500 since 2018.
When he is not on board TARKA, David has been living on his boat since 1998, and as of 3 years ago, he spends time in a small chalet in the Alps.
A citizen of the world born in La Rochelle, David spent much of his life in Morocco, then cast off at the age of 26. Travelling between West Africa, the Cape Verde Islands, Brazil and the Mediterranean, and a 7-year world tour for individuals, totaling nearly 140,000 miles travelled, many of them with guests or boat owners, brought David a great experience in appreciating unspoiled and wild places.
Passionate about the great outdoors, including snow sports, always in search of discovery and adventure, David loves to share his passions.
Adrien CRABIT
First Mate
Adrien, a graduate of Yachmaster OffShore, is an accomplished sportsman: surfing, rowing, skiing,…
Former accountant (no worries, he is more fun than an accountant, even if he rigorously detailed…), he decided to change lanes to make the sea and sailing his new job.
Always in a good mood, it will be very difficult to see Adrien lose his composure, even when the adrenaline is running high.
A fine cook, pianist and guitarist in his spare time, boredom will not be the order of the day with Adrien !
