No need of experience
If
you've never been cruising before, don't worry! All our boats are
very easy to drive and no licence is required. Every year hundreds
of people discover for the first time how it's really a child's
play.
Easy navigation
The
european canals and waterways that we propose are generally wide
and non-tidal, meaning that the gentle currents make them easy to
navigate. Some cruising region such as the Camargue are lock free,
but for many people, going through the locks is part of the fun
of being on the water. Most locks are automatic and virtually every
lock has a lock keeper who oversees the day to day running of the
locks and can offer a helping hand if you need it.
You are the captain
A cruising holiday is meant to be a relaxing one, with 6 to 7 km/hr
being the recommended maximum speed. This means you can enjoy your
surroundings at a leisurely pace and more importantly, not cause
any damage to the natural habitats at the water's edge. Whenever
you want to relax and unwind, simply moor up in a pitturesque spot,
pour a glass of wine and watch the world go by. At night, choose
to stop under the shade of a plane tree or in a modern marina where
modern facilities and shore power connections are generally available
for a small charge. The beauty of a cruising holiday is you get
to choose
For every body
Cruising is perfect for everyone. Kids love the adventure and being
first mate while adults enjoy the freedom of taking each days as
it comes, just how holidays should be! For the young and the young
at heart there is plenty to discover, wherever you choose to cruise.
The locks
Going
through lock is fun part of your holiday and give everyone a chance
to be involved. Once you've been through your first lock, you'll
see they are easy to do. Here, you can chat with other cruisers
and exchange stories about your holidays. Most locks are automatic
and operated by a lock keeper, many of whom keep their locks superbly
tended with flowers and sell local produce including wine, local
cheeses, honey and bread.
