04 Can you sail year-round in Normandy?
The vast majority of Liberty Pass boats are available year-round, except during periods when they require annual maintenance.

05 How does the Liberty Pass subscription work?
Each boat can accommodate a maximum of 6 Liberty Pass subscribers. Outings are organized using a reservation token system that allows each member to reserve their upcoming time slots through the Liberty Pass app.
Once a trip has been completed, the corresponding token becomes available again and can be used to schedule a new trip. This system allows reservations to be distributed among the various subscribers while maintaining a high degree of flexibility in the boat’s use.
