Philisa Apaca: Who we are

Our founder, Philippe Richard, first forged his ties with the sea underwater. Amazed by the beauty of the seabed and the immensity of the sea and oceans, he practiced and shared his passion for many years. The call of the open sea and the desire to disconnect were felt. So it was aboard his faithful MAYA catamaran that he embarked for 3 years, combining his passion for the seabed with that of sailing and freedom. In 2019, he drops anchor in the harbor of the Hyères islands and becomes captain of the APACA rental agency, which also becomes Philisa APACA.

A 360° offer

The crew that makes up the Philisa group Philippe, the ship's captain, is assisted by his partner Lénaic. No fewer than 20 members in 5 agencies are constantly working on your project. Each member is specialized in a particular field and has his or her own nautical experience. From tour operators to first aiders, from base managers to sailing instructors. It's with great enthusiasm that our crew shares their common passion: the sea.

Commitments

The ocean (synonymous with sea): a vast expanse of salt water covering three-quarters of the earth. The scene is set. This immensity commands respect for its size and the experiences we can draw from it. It's vital that we take care to protect it. In addition to our everyday actions, we want to contribute to the development of responsible yachting.

That's why we've created a #poleelectrique, offering a host of innovative solutions for your yachting project.
