Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Who it suits: This classic 1988 Espade works best for couples or small families wanting a relaxed inland waterway cruise rather than coastal sailing. It's ideal if you're based in or flying into central Europe and want to explore rivers and canals at a gentle pace.
Standout features: The flybridge gives you lovely outdoor helm visibility, and the bimini top keeps sun exposure manageable during long cruising days. Four berths across two cabins mean you've got sleeping flexibility, plus essentials like a refrigerator and electric toilet handle basic comfort needs well.
Value for money: At just €1000 deposit with a 1988 build, this is genuinely affordable — you're paying for practical canal cruising, not a premium experience. For budget-conscious charterers who don't need luxury finishes, the price-to-berth ratio is solid.
One honest caveat: Thirty-six years is old for a motorboat, so you'll want clarity from Canal Evasion on engine condition and recent servicing before you commit. Older vessels need more maintenance attention, and breakdowns on inland waterways can be inconvenient — ask specifically about their support response times.
