How does it work?
Your boat leaves with a full tank
Your boat is handed over with a full tank of biofuel, enough for 2 to 3 weeks depending on the model and region.
You cruise, we measure
An hour meter records the actual number of hours the engine runs. This is what your consumption is calculated on.
We refill the tank when you return
Our teams take care of it for you. Nothing to do when you disembark.
How is your bill calculated?
At departure
A deposit is requested, depending on the length of your stay.
On return
The amount is adjusted to your actual engine hours.
Hourly rate
Displayed at each base, it may vary by boat and market price.
Air conditioning. In France, generator use for air conditioning is charged at 14 € per hour.
Example
Our clients cruise on average 4.5 hours a day, or 31.5 hours over a week. On a Pénichette Premium 6/7 in France, at 22.25 € per hour, that comes to about 700 € of fuel.
Prefer to know your budget in advance? Choose a Sérénité package : cruising fuel, cleaning, bike and damage waiver combined in a single price.

With or without a package? An example
Pénichette Classic 2/5, one week in France. Without a package: Silver waiver 140 € + cleaning 140 € + one bike 56 € = 336 €, plus fuel at cost, 14 € per engine hour. With Sérénité, pre-sale: 580 €, unlimited cruising fuel included (excluding air conditioning and heating).
The package pays off from about 17 hours of cruising in the week. And our customers cruise 4.5 hours a day on average, i.e. 31.5 hours over 7 days: about 441 € of fuel, so 777 € without a package versus 580 € with one. With Sérénité+ (750 €), for 170 € more, your excess drops to 0 € and you get a second bike.
Without a package, fuel and gas are billed via the Pack Éco-Navigation (page 9) and the standard deposit (Bronze option) applies. Package prices by boat: pages 11 and 12.

Bicycles are a great complement to cruising. The towpaths along the canals encourage the use of bicycles. They allow you to move away from the river or canal, when you stop, so that you can discover the surrounding country side. They are very useful to go shopping in the cities and towns nearby. The bases have more than 1000 bicycles for you to choose from. However, on some bases and on some dates the number of bicycles may become limited, in particular for children’s bikes. It is better to reserve your bicycles in advance directly with your departure base. Of course we always try to provide the bikes ordered in advance, but cannot guarantee it. Bicycles are not insured against theft, you are responsible for them.
Type of bikes available at our departure bases:
> Adult bikes: 24″ or 26″ wheels, 3 or 4 speeds, mud guard, luggage carrier. Baby carriers and attachable shopping baskets available on request, free of charge. No helmets available.
> Folding bikes: 16″ wheels (no helmet, no basket available)
> Mini bikes for children: 16″ or 18″ wheels, single speed, for children from 5 to 12. Helmets for children can be supplied for free. It is necessary to order them in advance.
Please note that:
> In Germany, Italy and Holland we only provide folding bikes. Other types of bikes are not available.
> We only supply folding bikes for Linssen and Europa boats.

TRANSFERS
If you arrive by plane or train, we can organise the taxi transfer from the airport or train station to your departure base. The return transfer after your cruise can be organised as well, of course. Please note the following information on taxi-transfers:
The mentioned prices are valid for the regular routes between 8 am to 7 pm, except Sundays and holidays. These prices can change at any time and are not under our control! Please note that if your delay exceeds one hour, the taxi company may charge an extra per waiting hour compared to the rate available on our website. In some cases you will be asked a supplement per suitcase, pet or trailer. You would have to pay directly the driver and in cash only.You can book the transfers from/to the base to/from the airport or train station at the base 1 to 2 weeks in advance. Please send them your request by fax or e-mail and mention your name, file number, type of boat, number of persons, departure day, information about the flight (flight number, plane arriving from, arrival time and airport) or train (arrival time and station) as well as a credit card number as guarantee. In case of a “no show”, the transfer will be debited, if it wasn’t cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. It is not possible to reserve the transfers by phone.
The prices provided are for guidance only and may vary depending on the local provider.
Your departure base can organise your transfer from and to the airport in Ireland. Transfers are operated by coaches or mini vans (shared service between customers).
You can directly book your transfer by contacting your departure base, at least one week before departure. Transfer charge is payable when arriving at the base.
Less than 14 days before your departure, it will not be possible to book a transfer. Please contact your departure base if needed.
The one-way cruise supplement does not include the return of the crew to the departure base. Depending on the trip there are different possibilities:
> Public transportation (not possible everywhere)
> Taxi transfer on your arrival or on your return day
On some routes, the links by train are excellent, quicker and more economical. From the base, a taxi can drive you quickly to the train station; just ask for details.
If you choose the taxi transfer, you have two possibilities:
> Transfer on the day of the arrival at the base: you leave your vehicle at the arrival base. Please order your taxi to the departure base one week in advance, by e-mail or through the form.
> Transfer on the day of the return: you can order the taxi at the departure base, e.g. on the day if arrival during formalities.
