Boat share v. boat hire
Although boating in France, particularly on the French canals and inland
waterways, is an enormously pleasurable way of taking a holiday in France,
canal boat hire in France can be very expensive. That is why we have
created a number of boat-share – or co-ownership or shared ownership
– syndicates for lovers of the French canals which enable them
to cruise such waterways wonders as the Canal du Midi, the Nivernais
canal and the other numerous picturesque canals of Burgundy all of which
are ideal for holidays afloat.
Our boat-share (co-ownership) syndicates in France enable members to
cruise the French rivers and canals for a fraction of the normal cost
of boat hire in France or enable them to take canal holidays in France
using the syndicate boat as a base.
French canal holidays in general and boat hire or boat-share on the French
canals and other attractive waterways are gaining in popularity all
the time, but connoisseurs of boating in France, whether by boat hire
or boat-share, are becoming increasingly selective.
They are also coming more and more to appreciate that shared ownership
of a boat through a boat-share or other form of syndicate is a much more
economical way of boating on the French canals.
Shared ownership, boat-share and other co-ownership schemes in France
are all intended to spread the costs of boating holidays on the French
canals and other waterways among all the syndicate members so that the
individual costs are reduced and boat usage remains high. Clearly, although
hiring a boat on the canals and other French waterways will always remain
an option, the net cost of boat hire in France as opposed to boat-share,
co-ownership, shared ownership or
other form of syndicate will generally
be higher.
Thank you for your interest.
