-
Le Boat cruises can be round-trip from here or as the destination for a cruise from Hesse.
-
Mooring here is free but the only facility available is water.
-
Much of the canal is tree-lined, quite attractive and shady.
-
Although ports with services are few, there are many good moorings along the banks of the canal.
-
The beautiful chapel and grounds at Notre Dame du Chêne at Pk 120 is a peaceful and shady spot to relax.
-
The chapel is usually open and unoocupied, an interesting visit.
-
Use Canal de Jonction to find moorings.
-
Marinest is the first marina at Strasbourg, however it offers no moorings for visitors.
-
Marinest is fully occupied by year-around boaters.
-
Port de Plaisance de l'Hôpital is used by many visiting boats, although it is limited to six visitor moorings.
-
An alternative, with no services but a convenient location, is the south bank quay at Bassin Austerlitz.
-
No moorings are offered inside the Bassin Austerlitz.
-
Koejac Yachting offers brokerage, service, chandlery and 8 visitors moorings.
-
The fuel dock in Strasbourg is at Koejac Yachting.
-
The quay north of Koejac is the base for several ships which cruise the Rhine.
-
The quay is adjacent to Parc de la Citadelle, a pleasant place to stroll.
-
Barrage Vauban covers the entire width of the river Ill. Boats lower than 2.45 meters can use the taller arches.
-
After Barrage Vauban, the Ponts Couverts must be passed on the right side; the channel lies at their northern end.
-
Tourist boats travel the waterways of Strasbourg; some canals are closed to private boats.
-
A cruise on your own boat through La Petite France is spectacular - downstream (eastbound) only.
-
There is one lock, just around the corner ahead.
-
The tourist boat dock is located on the river Ill near the cathedral.
-
Cruising the Ill offers great views of the city, better for the crew than the skipper, who must stay focused on the channel.
