Especially about the area
Do you wanna sail to Bruges? There are special opening hours for bridges / locks on the way to Bruges - typically you have to start early in the day to get through.

If you are sailing into France:

  • Le Boat cannot offer assistance should problems arise.
  • We recommend this only for experienced sailors as Le Boat does not have maps of the area.
  • You will have to pay for a vignette if you cross the border
