Nicolas ROUGER

IMOCA skipper, on « Demain c’est loin », Marseille

Biography

Nicolas Rouger took his first tacks on the Étang de Thau in Sète, before discovering the open sea and adventure on delivery trips in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. He went on to deliver boats between Corsica, the mainland and the Balearic Islands, and to sail the big Mediterranean regattas (SNIM, Giraglia, Rolex Cup). From 2006 to 2009, he raced on the Mini 6.50 circuit and in the Mini Transat.

Today, with a new IMOCA with an outstanding record, he is heading back to sea with a clear goal: the 2026 Route du Rhum and the 2028 Vendée Globe. Two adventures driven by the same conviction: always believe in your dreams and never give up.
