Boat in retirement !
This boat took its retirement ! Indeed, after many years of sailing, time for a new adventure !
Why is this boat retired ?
If properly maintained, a river boat can last a really long time, even through rental. Our oldest, for example, has more than 35 years of service, and still is one of our best-sellers !
But indeed, there comes a time when freshening up the fleet is important to make sure we keep on offering you boats that follow our loyal crews’ expectations !
The reason can be various.
- Some ranges sometime have good features that become obsolete with new design arriving on the market …
- The lack of outside space …
- Some conception that are not compatible with renovations …
- A renovation too expensive to be paid off by futur rentals …
- Etc …
What becomes of a boat in retirement ?
It is not because a boat is no more suitable for rental that it is completely out of the game ! It is in fact the time for it to start a new (sometime even more busy) adventure : to finally find its long-lasting and unique captain & owner !
Our team takes the decision, on a regular basis, to sell one of our boat. It is not a rarity to see one of our loyal crew enjoying so much riverboating that they end up become owners !
A beautiful time to make new projects : redesigning the boat, travelling to a new river network, some new colours, etc …

What will replace this boat ?
But indeed ! Before doing all of this, we need to find a suitable substitute ! And regularly, a new season rhymes with a new boat arrival !
And for this, all your experience feedback after your cruise are essential for us : they allow us to take the right decision for our futur investment.
Do not hesitate to reach us if you have any question !
