Some boats have a bow propeller. It is a small propeller in the stem of the
boat which helps to steer the bow laterally, it makes operating easier.
Nevertheless, you need to use it carefully mainly on canals (mud and
stones along the canal sides may be sucked up into the bow propeller).
In case of breakdown during the cruise, it is often impossible to repair
(a crane is often necessary to fix it). In this case, the cruise will
go on without bow propeller.
If
the client requires a repairing during his
cruise, this repairing will be charged to
the client. Due to the risks of the navigation,
the bow propeller of the equipped boat you
booked for, may not be available on the day
of your departure. In this case, the bow
propeller will be deducted on the basis of
a flatrate price. (according to the price-list,
maximum refunding € 10 per day)
There is a board book on every boat,
which gives you information on navigation.
However you can order an inland waterway map
in advance (when you book the boat) if you
wish to prepare your cruise. You can have a
map for every waterway. Important : for some
routes, you will need 2 maps. For example for
the one-way trip Pontailler-sur-Saône/Digoin,
2 maps are necessary: the Centre Canal and
the Saône river. Price: EUR 22
