You will be given sufficient initial tuition to set you on your way, and together with our written advice which you will receive in advance of your holiday, you will be on your way within just a few hours of arriving at your hire base. The type of boat you hire is very important. In our opinion, some boats may be too large or too heavy for a first time or inexperienced hirer, and could turn your dream holiday into a daily ordeal worrying about mooring and locks etc. We will guide you through the selection process and also give advice on the different French regions so that you choose the correct area to suit your requirements. Cruising the Canal du Midi in the south is a totally different experience to the Canal du Nivernais in Burgundy. With boats sleeping from 2-12, most with en-suite facilities and spacious and tasteful interiors, we’re sure you will find a boat to suit your needs. All are expertly equipped, rigorously maintained for comfort and safety, and so easy to handle. Our prices our listed as per boat per week – making a relaxing holiday on the waterways cheaper than you might think – and a perfect way of spending quality time with family and friends without breaking the bank. Book a low cost flight to nearby airports and you could be at the helm of your boat and soaking up the sunshine in no time at all.
