Additional costs to consider
Fuel
Similar to hiring a car, your boat is supplied with a full tank of diesel and you pay for the fuel you use (normally, you won't need to refuel en-route).
In France, Italy, Germany, Belgium and Holland, our charges are based on an "engine hour" - i.e. how long the engine runs for. In the UK and Ireland, we charge by the litre. Please note, fuel is an additional cost that you pay in local currency. Because of this, the cost is subject to change.
Before departure, you will be required to leave a fuel deposit towards the cost of the fuel for your cruise. At the end of the vacation you will either be refunded the excess or be asked to pay any additional costs as required. Fuel deposit tarifs are based on your boat's engine size.
Collision Damage Waiver
To insure the boat during the cruise for potential damage to the boat or third-party. We have two options:
- Option 1: Non-refundable CDW
- Option 2: Refundable Collision Damage Deposit
You can arrange taxi transfer between our bases and your airport or train station. Our base info documentation on our Plan your travel section will provide to you contact details & rates of local taxis.
Notes: In Ireland, we can arrange private transfers from/to main airports in advance – please ask your sales team for more details
