What an owner-operator means in river events
The owner-operator is the company that owns or directly runs the boat: maintenance, crew and navigation permits. They know best the real capacities and technical constraints of the vessel.
The advantages of dealing directly with the boat operator
Dealing directly with the owner-operator gives you precise, quick answers on availability, possible layouts and navigation conditions, without going through several intermediaries.
What the owner-operator can tailor for your event
Sailing times, routes on the Seine and the layout of the space: an owner-operator involved from the start can offer adjustments that a simple reseller does not always control.
