Bow
Propeller:
Some boats have a bow propeller. It is a small propeller
in the stem of the boat which helps to steer the bow laterally,
it makes operating easier. Nevertheless, you need to use

canal sides may be sucked up into the bow propeller). In
case of breakdown during the cruise, it is often impossible
to repair (a crane is often necessary to fix it). In this
case, the cruise will go on without bow propeller. If the
client requires a repairing during his cruise, this repairing
will be charged to the client. Due to the risks of the
navigation, the bow propeller of the equipped boat you
booked for, may not be available on the day of your departure.
In this case, the bow propeller will be deducted on the
basis of a flatrate price. (according to the price-list,
maximum refunding €10 /day)
