Booking a boat without a permit is very simple.
I mean the river boats for navigate the canals of Europe that do not require a specific driving or navigation license.
If you don't know this plan to navigate the canals on a boat without a permit and you need more information, you can read this post in which I explain it to you. what is river tourism.
If you already know him and you are thinking about booking a boat without a permit, tell yourself that it is very easy, not at all bothersome and not too ostentatious.
In just 5 steps you can make your river boat reservation without permit.
1st Choose the destination
Where do we navigate?
Europe has thousands of kilometers of navigable waterways and offers you a range of destinations which we divide by countries, and within countries, by regions.
For example, if we are talking about a river cruise in France, I will tell you that you have up to 13 different options to choose from.
It depends on whether you go with children or with friends, the time of year, the hobbies you have, the sports you like... or even if you want to bathe or not...
Based on these alternatives, we choose.
There are certain destinations that will push you more towards certain water activities, and others like Brittany that encourage you to visit the castles.
On the other hand, you have destinations close to you depending on where you live. Perhaps a river cruise along the Canal du Midi and starting the trip in Toulouse is better due to proximity, or renting the boat to navigate the Grande Lake in Portugal.
If you don't mind traveling a little further to northern Europe, you can choose between Belgium, Holland, Scotland, Germany or Poland.
2nd The number of people and depending on this, the boat
How many are we?
You can travel up to 12 people on the same boat without permission.
This is one of the reasons why the River tourism is very economical and it is a travel option that is increasingly fashionable.
The boat is for the whole group, then the cost of renting the boat without a permit is shared among everyone, so it usually works out quite cheap.
In Danfluvial we reserve boats for groups as different as a newly married couple or a group of friends finishing university... as well as a group of friends with children who, in addition, always take their pets.
The you drink You can also travel by river boat and it is not dangerous at all.
Depending on how many of you there are, we reserve the most suitable boat without a permit.
Because it is not the same if you go as a couple or if you go as two families with children... or a group of friends.
Look.
For convenience, I always say that the bigger the boat, the better.
There are boats without a permit that have from 1 to 5 cabins.. In all of them the living room becomes a bedroom 🙂
If you go with children, many families use the living room for them to sleep. Although there are also boats with double cabins and an additional bunk for the little ones.
If you are traveling with friends, for reasons of privacy and comfort, I recommend a cabin for each couple. And the room to meet.
I'm sure that this post with tips for choosing the perfect river boat it may interest you.
3º The itinerary depending on the number of nights
What availability do we have?
Once you are clear about the number of vacation days you have, we get to work.
You can rent the boat without a permit for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 or 14 nights.
The ideal is to bring something Plan your cruise and collect information about the route you are going to take before starting your river trip.
I'll give you an example again.
If you want to go to a cheese shop in Edam, it will not be enough to just book the cruise from Holland, but you have to see where to moor to go to Edam, and how to get around there (it could perfectly be by bicycle) to get to the shop of cheeses.
You must also plan your stops taking into account the navigation schedule of each region, since you can't navigate at night.
So, you have to know how far you are from one point to another, not only in kilometers, but in hours of navigation.
Planning will always help you enjoy your boat rental without permission more and better.
4º The reservation with advance payment and arrival at the port of embarkation
We are almost ready.
You have the destination, the number of nights, the boat and all that remains is to formalize the reservation.
To the confirm the reservation you must pay the 40% of the rental price plus cancellation insurance (in case you want to take it because it is optional).
The rest of the amount is paid 6 weeks before shipment.
If you make a last minute reservation (less than 6 weeks away) you must pay 100% of the total amount of the trip.
You can pay by transfer or by bank card on a secure payment platform.
When you get there you have to leave a deposit in credit card or cash. If you do it with a credit card, it is the same as when you rent a car: they block an amount and on the last day they release it.
The amount of the deposit depends on the model of the boat without permission and is confirmed with the pre-reservation.
