One Way Cruises:
One Way Cruises are available on request between bases, with a minimum of one week. An additional fee of €100 applies for all one way cruises. If you have parked your car at the start base, this can be transfered to the end base for a fee of €125 (with the exception of rental vehicles). Please note that although seldom changed, one ways and the direction there of can not be guaranteed.

Short Breaks:
Short breaks of 3 or more nights can be taken on all return-to-base cruises and are highlighted with the short break symbol . Short breaks can also be taken in the peak summer period up to 4 weeks before departure. Boats are available for short breaks from 16:00 on the day of departure and must be returned by 09:00 on the last day.
These are calculated as follows:

  • 3 nights / 2 days = 55% of the weekly rate
  • 4 nights / 3 days = 65% of the weekly rate
  • 5 nights / 4 days = 75% of the weekly rate

Calculating the cost of your short break. To calculate the cost of your short break multiply the weekly boat hire cost by the relevant discount for the duration of your short break (e.g. x 0.55). Then add on the cost of your Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) per week for your boat (or make an allowance for the refundable damage deposit) and any optional extras you may wish to book. Don’t forget to include Le Boat’s holiday insurance if you do not already have cover. For one-way supplements and an approximate fuel cost for your boat type and cruising area.

Extra nights are subject to availability. A Supplement of €150 will be charged if your short break takes place over a Bank Holiday Weekend.

Long Cruises:
Cruises of 9 days, 10 days and 11 days are available from all bases. This is priced based on the number of nights you wish to take.

Priority Boarding and Late Checkout:

Normally boats are ready for collection from 16:00 onwards on the day of departure and are due for return on 09:00 on the final day of your holiday. However, subject to operational constraints, it may be possible for you to collect your boat between 12:00 midday and 13:00, giving you an extra afternoon's cruising. It may also be possible to return your boat on the final day at 12:00 midday, giving you an extra morning's cruising. This service is subject to request and an added fee will apply. Please contact us for details.

Damage Insurance:
All boats are fully covered for damage and damage to other property or vessels, with a damage excess of €1500 per incident. The following damage waiver options are available: (Please note: insurance options below do not covers bikes).

  • Option 1: Taking no additional insurance.
    You are then required to leave a security deposit of €1500, which will be charged if the boat or any equipment is returned damaged or lost, or in the case of accidental damage to Third Parties. If there is evidence of gross neglect, the insurance will be void and you will be liable for all costs.
  • Option 2: Non Refundable Damage Waiver.
    Available for rentals of one week or more. You can pay a non-refundable waiver of between €75-€195 at the time of arrival or time of booking. With this option you will be fully covered if the boat or any equipment is returned damaged or lost, or in the case of accidental damage to Third Parties, and no excess will apply. If there is evidence of gross neglect, the insurance will be void and you will be liable for all costs.
