Did a little research on the name on the bow. It's, indeed, a town in France. And you can rent this boat or a sister on a weekly basis here:

I imagine they even come with spare fenders, just in case some are lost in transit ;-)
I've always thought a canal cruise in Europe would be a fun vacation someday. Youtube is convincing me otherwise.
I think it makes a lot of sense. Canals, slow speed, rafting, fenders in and out, why not just leave them in place. In some of the canals, I really see no reason for every bringing them on board and cluttering your deck and storage space and lining the boat with fenders makes sense. I'd suggest even having tubes created like on a RIB.
"Slow"? I did not know that word even existed in your vocabulary
I ran across this pic recently, and am still trying to figure out what the operator of the boat was trying to protect him/herself from . . .
Wayfarer got a new boat?
Sorry swamp commander...I suppose you don't keep quite that many fenders over the side.

We thought the same. And, YouTube is making us rethink the whole thing.
