The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
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.
Ideal for couples or small families This compact motor boat works best for two people in genuine comfort, or four if you're very close friends—the single cabin setup means minimal privacy with four aboard. It's a solid choice for exploring inland waterways rather than coastal cruising.
Smart canal-boat essentials The heating and electric toilet are genuinely useful features for river cruising in cooler months, and at 8.8 metres, she's nimble enough to navigate narrow European canal systems that larger vessels can't access. The radio-CD player adds a nice touch for evening relaxation.
Excellent value proposition At roughly €1,466 per week with only a €2,500 deposit, this represents genuinely affordable boat access—you're paying for practical river cruising, not luxury, which is honest pricing for what you get. For two people, the weekly cost per person is very competitive for a self-drive holiday.
One real limitation Being a 2004 build, don't expect cutting-edge comfort or mod cons—this is functional rather than fancy, and the refrigerator capacity will be modest. If you're flying long-haul to a European canal base, confirm the operator's airport transfer arrangements beforehand, as inland bases can sometimes be remote from major airports.
