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.
