| Charter Information |
We offer three types of barge charters: |
 | "hosted
charters". This charter is a cross between the
"self-drive" and "total care" charters. Your skipper
provides options, but you decide the schedule. Many provide breakfast
and lunch and supper is yours aboard or in restaurants. You have a large comfortable barge with a knowledgeable skipper/host(s) to provide you with tips on
history, what to see, and the best places to shop. You participate as much or as little as
you wish in the operation of the barge. This is designed for the traveler who likes
independence and wants to learn the maximum from the cruising experience! Rates
range from
$6000 to $8600 for a week on the barge for 4 people, and includes skipper, fuel,
lock and moorage fees. Please click
for information on Vertrouwen
or Imagine. |

 |
| "self-drive
charters". This is a do-it-yourself bareboat adventure on
30’-45’ fiberglass boats, many of which are designed to resemble the bigger
barges. You are responsible for everything from selecting moorage places to finding the
bakery to seeking out the history and special sites. This is geared for the independent
traveler! We have personally inspected each of the "self-drive" barge
charter companies in Europe and would be happy to assist with suggestions
and booking, based on
cruising locale, group size, experience, and vacation goals. |
|
| "total care"
luxury skippered cruises aboard large crewed barges. The crew takes care of
everything from pick up at the airport to meals to beverages to hot air balloon flights.
This is for laid back travelers. Rates are from $3000-4500 per person per
week. |
