Bow
Propeller / Thruster:
Some boats on some bases are equipped
with a bow thruster. It is a propeller
placed in the bow of the boat enabling
the boat to be steered sideways. This
greatly facilitates maneuvers. However,
its use is tricky on canals where there
is more risk of sucking in mud and
rocks along the banks.
In case of breakdown during the cruise,
it is often impossible to repair. In
this case, the cruise will continue
without the bow thruster. If the customer
requires repair during the cruise,
it will be billed. Because of the vagaries
of navigation, it is possible that
the boat with a bow thruster that you
reserved is not available on the day
of departure. In this case, it will
be reimbursed on the basis of a lat
fee: € 10 per day without the
propeller during the cruise.
Beds:
- There is no standard length and width
of berth for boats. The average length
is 1.90m but in some cases may be
limited to 1.83m.
- Double berths : they are on average 1.40m
wide, but can be reduced to 1.15m
- Single berths : they are on average 0,
80m, but in some cases they can be reduced
down to 0.65m.
- Coffin berth: berths named “coffin
berth” have a low ceiling, with less
than a meter between the mattress and the
ceiling.
- Convertible seat in lounge or dinette.
The measurements given in the boats
descriptions are indicative and may vary
according to models.
Heating
and Air Conditioning:
- All boats are equipped with forced
air heating. This is an element of comfort
to warm up the inside of the boat. However,
it does not maintain a constant temperature.
- Air conditioning : This option, often
limited to the lounge is an element of
comfort that can cool the atmosphere
by several degrees, 2 or 3 maximum, rather
than maintain constant temperature, whatever
the outside temperature.
- The Tarpon 49 Quattro Prestige, Tarpon
42 Trio Prestige and Tarpon 37 Duo Prestige
have air conditioning in the lounge.
Electricity
on Board:
Running the engine 4-5 hours per day,
you will produce electricity for 24 hours
of use. However, electricity aboard a
boat must be used sparingly and cannot
provide the same comfort as in a home.
Often 12 volts, or 24 volts stored in
batteries, which supply refrigerators,
the electricity allows the use of light,
ventilation, and sometimes on 220 volts,
air conditioning, dishwashers, etc.
Devices that use 220 volts must be used
during navigation or while docked using
shore power, and they cannot be used
together (eg air conditioning + dishwasher).
In some areas, the shore supply is scarce,
or, in the ports, too weak to use the
equipment aboard. 220 volt outlets, when
they exist, can only be used when connected
to the dock. The volume of refrigerators
is given for guidance only and may vary
by region.
Anyone requiring the use of an electric
breathing apparatus must inform the Company
at the time of booking and be aware that
the power supply required for electricity
is not always available to operate an
electric breathing apparatus.
Waterways
Map:
An essential reference for the preparation
of your cruise beforehand. Please note
that for certain itineraries 2 maps
may be necessary. In France the waterways
map is available for free consultation
in each boat.
Cleaning
Service:
Inside
and/or outside cleaning of
the boat. If you do not use
this service, a cleaning deposit
will be requested upon departure.
