The Canalous bases

The best welcome will be reserved for you…
The bases will always be ready to welcome you, whether you come by car, train… We will provide you with all the information and details you need, as well as various access plans.

The entire team, as well as the base manager, will give you the warmest welcome upon your arrival at the marina. You will then need to complete the various administrative formalities for boarding (pleasure craft card, inventory). All these formalities and the piloting initiation take a little time (about 2 hours).

Plan to arrive 1 hour before boarding time; this will allow you to calmly stock up your boat with local merchants. Keep in mind that most boats that depart in the afternoon have returned to the base that morning, so there is no need to arrive too long in advance.

The schedule/hours
Departure for one week or more:
Depending on the bases, departure days are set on Mondays, Fridays, or Saturdays. If possible, choose a weekday departure, as the base staff will often have more time to devote to you. Welcome at 3:00 PM. For organizational reasons, no welcome can take place before. Embarkation from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Return at 9:00 AM.

For 2-day weekends:
Welcome on Saturday at 10:00 AM (possibility of boarding on Friday evening at 4:00 PM depending on schedule. This possibility is confirmed one week in advance). Embarkation on Saturday from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Return on Monday at 9:00 AM.

For mini-weeks:
Welcome on Monday at 3:00 PM. Embarkation on Monday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Return on Friday at 9:00 AM.
