Sightseeing the canals from your "own" rented boat is a great experience. There are different types and sizes of boats that will be customized for your group especially. The length of the rental period varies from 3 days to several weeks if desired.
The company that offers canal boat rentals is located just 10 minutes from Castelrey. This makes sightseeing on the canals an ideal combination with a stay at the castle. The boats are easy to operate, even the biggest ones, and after a quick course you are ready to go. No licence or certificate is required.
The company has several route suggestions for 1 week round-trips (“The Musketeer route” or “The King Henry route”) with about 4.5 hours of sailing each day. They also have great ideas for 1 week one-way-trips (“The Art and Armagnac route” or “The medieval hidden tax route”), also about 4.5 hours of sailing every day. You can also plan and sail your own route; it is only the imagination that sets the limits.
