Ctm Croisieres
Our company … A passion for the sea, a family story. In the HUBERT family, we are sailors from father to son… From a young age, Guilhem has been sailing alongside his father Patrick and his grandfather Louis . At the age of 8, he was introduced to the practice of scuba diving and sailing. From the age of 15, he worked alongside his father for the two companies he managed: Pro-Sub-Mer, a renowned diving center in France, and the Roussillon Croisières shipping company, created in 1986. Guilhem is the holder of his first captain's license in 2006. He then left to work for prestigious French shipping companies. After 3 long years, he obtained his Captain 3000 UMS diploma and in 2010 created the shipping company CTM Croisières. It acquires La Belle Aude, one of the last wooden passenger transport vessels approved by Bureau Véritas, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2019. Construction of the Marilou began in 2011 by the Martinez shipyard in Saint- Cyprien. This fast and comfortable vessel offers multiple service possibilities.
