One Way Cruises:
One Way Cruises are available on request between bases, with a minimum of one week. An additional fee of €100 applies for all one way cruises. If you have parked your car at the start base, this can be transfered to the end base for a fee of €125 (with the exception of rental vehicles). Please note that although seldom changed, Even if accepted by LE BOAT, this service can never be guaranteed due to unexpected events or force majeure (e.g. cancellation of the previous or the following customer). LE BOAT therefore can change the direction of the one-way cruise or demand an out and back cruise from the hirer, with no impact on the validation of the contract. Please contact us 2 days before departure to confirm the direction of the cruise.

Short Breaks:
Short breaks of 3 or more nights can be taken on all return-to-base cruises and are highlighted with the short break symbol. They must be completed by 18th June 2011 or depart after 23rd August 2011. Short breaks can also be taken in the peak summer period up to 4 weeks before departure. Boats are available for short breaks from 16:00 on the day of departure and must be returned by 09:00 on the last day.
These are calculated as follows:

• 3 nights / 2 days = 55% of the weekly rate
• 4 nights / 3 days = 65% of the weekly rate
• 5 nights / 4 days = 75% of the weekly rate

• Option 1: a non-refundable collision damage waiver (CDW) which can be paid on arrival or at the time of booking. With this option you will be fully covered if the boat is returned damaged, or an accident has resulted in its loss, as well as costs of any accidental damage or injury to any third parties. This will not be the case if there is evidence of gross neglect, which is excluded from our cover under our insurance policy. Loss of or damage to
  any item of inventory or boat equipment will be charged at a replacement cost, details of which are available at our bases. These charges do not alter the Hirer’s potential liability outlined
  in Clause 7 – Insurance.
• Option 2: Option 2: a refundable damage deposit which is to be paid in local currency at the base upon your arrival by either credit card or cash deposit. The deposit which varies according to boat type/duration of holiday (€1,120 - €1,710) will only be retained in part or in full if the boat is returned damaged or an accident has resulted in its loss, as well as costs of any accidental damage or injury to any third parties. This damage deposit will be the extent of your liability in respect of any damage to the boat except where there is evidence of gross neglect in which case you will be expected to cover the full extent of any repair costs. Loss of or damage to any item of
  inventory or boat equipment will be charged at a replacement cost, details of which are available at our bases. See Clause 14. Single sex bookings are required to pay the refundable damage deposit to encourage duty of care.
