Navigate the way you want, when you want with Liberty Pass

Navigate as you wish,
when you wish

You know the old boating adage: "When you buy a boat, you're happy twice: when you buy it and...when you sell it". This adage, with which many of you are familiar, brings us to our topic of the day, namely the preconceived notion that to be a boater, you need to own a boat. Nonsense.

Home ownership at any price: an outdated concept

This concept in 2021 is completely out, as are many other areas of life. Attitudes are changing, the world is changing, and "owning" something is no longer an end in itself.

Freedom, on the other hand, even more so today, is an end in itself.

Did you know that the population on the French coast has literally exploded in the last 20 years?

Why?

Because it's a great place to live, and having the sea or ocean close by means you can get away from it all on weekends or evenings, and enjoy water sports on a regular basis.

Surfing, boating, the beach, fishing, or simply walking along the coast to recharge your batteries.

It's a quality of life, a living environment that many French people no longer want to compromise on, and that's priceless.

France's coastlines are the place to be, and it's a way of life that's on the rise, as evidenced by the growing interest of city dwellers in the Basque country, the Mediterranean coast and Brittany, the new Eldorado for saturated urbanites.

The obstacle course for yachtsmen in finding a boat

And this interest is only growing with the COVID crisis. So, we've got a lot more people on the coasts, but... we don't have enough boats. And that's a shame. Charter boats are hard to find, schedules are overflowing and prices are skyrocketing, especially in summer.

See where we're going with this? Not yet? Don't worry, you'll soon understand.

Let's return for a moment to the old adage that when you buy a boat, you're happy twice over.

This is further amplified by our societal transformation: today, we no longer have the time to take care of the port, maintenance and administrative aspects of ownership.

Unless you have a great deal of knowledge and considerable means, ownership is no longer as accessible, and requires exceptional patience: 5 to 10 years waiting time for a berth, depending on the sector (almost a nightmare...).

As for the boating market, it is facing a shortage of boats and engines.

Are you following us now?

Let's recap.

If :

The population's appetite for the sea, beaches and coastlines continues to grow
Not enough boats
Property is inaccessible, restrictive and no longer really in vogue.
More than ever, people want to sail and take to the open seas

So what's the solution to this equation?

How can we sail in 2021, at reasonable prices, for people living less than 100 km from the coast?

Liberty Pass, the solution to these constraints

And yes, the navigation subscription is the solution for navigating when you want, how you want.

You book a boat 48 hours to 1 hour in advance via a mobile app, check-in and check-out are done autonomously via the app, and you don't have to return at a fixed, precise time because of the pontoon operator.

You choose the formula that suits you best, the number of outings and the cruising area.

And you're sure to find a new or recent boat, professionally maintained and connected for sailing whenever you want.

And the first time you're on the boats, you're guided by your Liberty Coach, who can be reached 7 days a week when you're on the boat, and who warns you of weather changes and gives you all the local tips (a Liberty Coach is a clever mix between a guardian angel and Huggy the Tips).

The following times, you book your Liberty Pass outing in 1 click, you just have to prepare the cooler and any fishing gear, and the boat is waiting for you in port, ready to go.

No berths to pay, no insurance, no maintenance - just fun!

The Liberty Pass solves all the current social problems linked to boat shortages and changes in usage.

It has established itself as a genuine alternative to boat ownership and traditional charter throughout France. Our fleets are growing by the day, as are our cruising areas.

Whether you're on the coast or near inland waterways, we've got the Liberty Pass for you.
