Maintaining a boat can often be daunting. There are certainly some fairly strict rules, but these are also there to protect your purchase! Here's one example: the hull of the boat must be removed and inspected every 10 years. You can have your boat lifted at a shipyard or on site using a floating dock. River Coach is here to provide you with information and also to assist you if necessary.

The costs are similar to those of a house or flat (electricity, water, telephone, etc.) but also different. You must pay the river manager (VNF or Port Autonome de Paris) the C.O.T. (redirect link), which depends on the location of the bank and its equipment. If the boat you are considering purchasing does not have a C.O.T., it does not have a mooring permit.
