Inland waterway holidays are always evolving, not only to satisfy the wishes and requirements of amateur sailors, but also to remain in step with modern trends, such as sustainable tourism (i.e. eco-friendly), holidays for all and accessibility for disabled people.

We already have a number of boats that fulfil one or more of these criteria.

A few examples:

Les Canalous : cabin boats with the ‘Tourisme & Handicap’ label (www.lescanalous.com)

Bateau Le Delta : excursion boats with the ‘Tourisme & Handicap’ label (www.chalon-sur-saone.net)

Alpha-Croisière.com : all year round boat hire
(www.house-boat.net)

L’Art du Temps : solar powered excursion boat (www.aquafluvial.fr)

La Billebaude : based at Pouilly-en-Auxois, this solar powered electric boat gets two thirds of its power from a photovoltaic system on the roof of the Tourist Information Office.

Capitainerie du Confluent (Verdun-sur-le-Doubs) / Yonne Tourisme (Auxerre) / L’Escale (La Truchère) / Locaboat Holidays (Joigny) : all charter electric boats.
