Le Boat provides an unforgettable means of discovering Europe’s most beautiful waterways, not from the tour bus window, but from the deck of your own personal boat. Whether cruising the lavender fields of southern France or exploring the peaceful lakes of Ireland, Le Boat makes your holiday an active, slow-burning experience in which you are the captain.
No prior boating experience is required, so it is an ideal vacation for families, couples, and groups of friends looking for a truly special holiday.
The Freedom of Self-Drive Boating Holidays
One of the greatest attractions of a Le Boat vacation is the absolute freedom it provides. There are no predetermined itineraries or timetables to follow, so you choose when and where you want to go.
Select from more than 800 kilometers of navigable canals, lakes, and rivers in nine nations, including France, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, England, Scotland, and Canada. From cruising the historic canals of Venice to navigating the Rideau Canal’s rugged beauty in Canada, each journey is designed at your pace and to your style.
A Fleet Built for Comfort and Elegance
Le Boat’s fleet features a diverse collection of modern, well-appointed cruisers, offering comfort levels for all travelers. Their Horizon Series is their most sought-after range, specifically designed by Le Boat for self-drive holidays.
The boats have spacious sundecks with barbecues and sun loungers, ensuite cabins, and bow and stern thrusters for effortless maneuvering. For added luxury, the Horizon 5 model accommodates 12 people and is perfect for big groups or multi-family breaks.
Other in-demand models include the Caprice, Classique Star, and the Royal Mystique, which feature spacious interiors, fully equipped kitchens, and panoramic views.
Immersive Local Experiences at Every Port
Le Boat holidays are more than a mere cruise; they are about discovering hidden treasures and experiencing real local life. Visit quaint waterside villages, ride along canal towpaths, sample wine at local vineyards, explore medieval castles, or browse local markets for provisions to prepare onboard.
In France’s Camargue region, you may see wild flamingos and white horses, and in Scotland’s Caledonian Canal, you can moor alongside historic Loch Ness. Each destination has its own vibrant culture, food, and scenery, ready to be discovered at your convenience.
Simple Booking and Assistance Throughout
Le Boat takes care of everything to make the process easy and hassle-free. Their website enables you to select your destination, select your boat, and book with minimal clicks. All rentals come complete with a full briefing, safety talk, and navigation manual.
A Vacation for All Seasons and All Kinds of Travelers
Whether you’re going on a romantic break, an adventure with the family, a friends’ reunion, or even a singles break, Le Boat has something for everyone. With boat holidays available from three nights to a few weeks, and boats to fit every pocket, it’s simple to plan the ideal holiday.
Why Le Boat Should Be Your Next Escape
Le Boat is not just a boating business—it’s a doorway to freedom, relaxation, and discovery. It’s about waking to the gurgle of water against the hull, taking coffee on deck as the sun rises, and discovering new towns and traditions in your own time.
