Homps Base

The Canal du Midi makes cruising a perfect holiday at any time of year - the warmth of the Mediterranean sunshine and the dappled shade of the thousands of plane, cypress and pine trees that border its paths will entice you to its waters whatever the season.

PRE-ORDER YOUR GROCERIES

Order one (or more) of our 2 grocery packs, which will be ready on board for you when you arrive:

1) “Sundowner Pack” - all the essentials for your first evening on board
2) “Starter Pack” - all you need for your first night & morning.

These packs are only available prebooked, from the time of your booking up to a few weeks before departure. For the full details of the packs, please visit our Important Extra page.

PRE-ARRANGE YOUR TAXI TRANSFER

Le Boat will be happy to arrange transfers from your arrival point to the base. Please download a taxi transfer form here and send it to the base at least 14 days prior to departure. The base receptionist will contact you directly to confirm details of your transfer.
