Solid family cruiser. The Tarpon 42 is a practical motor boat that suits groups or families wanting comfortable inland waterway cruising without the complexity of sailing, think European canal networks and river systems rather than open water. With 4 cabins and 10 berths, it's generous on space, though you'll want to manage expectations for cabin size on a 12.9-metre vessel.

Decent practical features. The bow thruster is genuinely useful for tight canal locks and mooring in confined spaces, and the swimming platform gives you flexibility on warmer routes. A refrigerator and electric toilet are standard comfort essentials; the radio-CD player is a nice-to-have for downtime in the evenings.

Reasonable value proposition. A €2,000 deposit is modest and suggests a competitive charter rate for this category. At nearly 25 years old, the boat is well-established, and Canal Evasion (a reputable French operator) has the expertise to maintain these vessels properly for regular charter use.

Age worth noting. The 1999 build year means you're chartering a genuinely older boat, mechanical systems and interiors will show their years, and you should factor in potential maintenance hiccups typical of vessels this age. If you're flying long-haul from North America or Australia, confirm the actual base location and whether Canal Evasion offers airport transfers; chartering inland means you can't simply fly into a major hub.

The marina & destination

Based at Port de Savoyeux, in Savoyeux, France. 2516 is operated by Canal Evasion.

Why this is a great starting point

I don't have reliable information about a marina called Port de Savoyeux in Savoyeux, France. I cannot find this location in standard nautical references or charts, and I want to avoid inventing details about its facilities, nearby cruising grounds, or sailing conditions. Could you double-check the spelling of the marina or city name? If you can confirm the correct location, I'll write an accurate summary for your clients.

Can 2516 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter 2516 bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter 2516?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
