Do I need any previous boating experience?No, many of our holiday makers are first timers. All of the boats are easy to handle, and no previous experience is required before taking the helm.Do I require a driving permit?No, a driving licence is not required. In France, after your instruction lesson, you will be given a temporary permit for the duration of your holiday. No permit is required in Holland or Ireland. Some license may be required in Germany. Please contact us.Will I be able to moor easily?Stop when and where you like, at a marina, or in the open countryside. There are plenty of moorings all along the waterways which are usually free of charge except for some harbours in popular centres, where a fee is sometimes payable.Are the waterways and locks easy to navigate?The quiet waterways chosen by Le Boat are largely non-tidal with only the gentlest of currents making them extremely easy to navigate. The current and levels are calmed by locks. Many are operated for you by lockkeepers, or automatically as you approach, others you operate yourselves. You'll enjoy the locks, they are great fun and a good place to meet fellow travellers.How do I know where to go?Just consult the section dedicated to the different regions available. If you would like detailed maps of any particular area contact us and we can sell you the guide for the canal in question. These can be ordered when you are booking your trip.How far can I go?Normal cruising speed averages about 8-10 kilometers per hour and it takes about 10 minutes to go through a lock provided that you do not have to wait.What sort of boat should I choose?Just consult the choice of boat section. Each boat is of course fully equipped to give you all of the home comforts that you need. |
