ARRIVAL AND RETURN: Please arrive at our base between 3pm–5pm for check-in and a pre-departure briefing, after which you’re likely to leave the dock between 4pm–6pm—on the final day, you should return and vacate the boat by 9am.

FUEL: Before you set off, you'll need to leave an Fuel Deposit in local currency and then, at the end of your cruise, your Fuel Charge will be calculated based on the number of hours your engine has been running—you'll either be refunded the difference or asked to pay for any excess hours used (the hourly charge is estimated to be between £14-£28 / €12-€34 depending on boat type and usage).

DAMAGE DEPOSIT: You'll need to pay a refundable Damage Deposit at the base before you begin cruising which will be retained (in part or in full) when you return your boat; IF the boat or any of its equipment or inventory that has been damaged or lost, you will not have to pay more than the deposit collected. 

DAMAGE RISK REDUCTION: The amount of Damage Deposit required, and thus your liability, may be significantly reduced by purchasing a non-refundable Damage Risk Reduction, which can be purchased at the base when you pick up your boat.

ABOUT THE REGION:
Your boating holiday begins in Homps, a charming canal‑side village that sits right on the Canal du Midi and feels perfectly attuned to life on the water. Starting here places you straight into the heart of the canal, where the pace of travel slows and the journey itself becomes the highlight.

From Homps, those wishing to cruise west can head towards the medieval city of Carcassonne, one of southern France’s most iconic sights, where towering ramparts and cobbled streets rise dramatically above the canal. Cruising east instead leads through vineyard‑covered countryside, passing historic locks and shaded towpaths lined with plane trees, with opportunities to stop at the charming village of Le Somail or enjoy wine tasting at nearby estates such as Château de Paraza. You may also have time to branch off southwards on the Embranchement de la Nouvelle to visit the historic Roman city of Narbonne, with its impressive cathedral, canalside atmosphere and rich heritage. This central stretch of the Canal du Midi is ideal for soaking up southern French culture, enjoying local wines and markets, and experiencing the magic of cruising at a gentle, unhurried pace.

AVAILABLE EXTRAS AND ACTIVITIES:

• Bike hire available from our base (to take on board with you)

• Parking available (for additional fee)

• Wi-Fi packs available (for additional fee)

• Swimming in the canal is not permitted, although there are some nearby lakes and swimmingareas
