Growing up on the small island of Antigua, a life on the water came naturally to Renaud. He has a diverse background, having worked in plumbing and construction, and later as a small craft operator and excursion tour guide—roles that eventually led him into the superyacht industry. Renaud has expanded his deck knowledge while traveling throughout the Mediterranean, Caribbean, South America, and French Polynesia. These experiences have broadened his cultural awareness and practical seamanship skills.
In his downtime, Renaud enjoys hiking, boating, going to the beach, and indulging in good food. He’s also passionate about cars and motorcycles and is always up for a conversation about either. Whether on water or behind the wheel, he’s happiest in motion.
