Le Boat has revolutionized the way tourists discover Europe’s most beautiful waterways. As a pioneer in self-drive boat vacations, Le Boat provides travelers with the option to explore canals, rivers, and lakes at their leisure — no boating license or experience necessary.
With more than 50 years of experience and the biggest fleet of self-drive boats in Europe and Canada, Le Boat guarantees unforgettable holidays in beautiful scenery, pretty villages, and historic attractions — all in the luxury of a private, fully equipped cruiser.
A Fleet to Suit All Types of Travellers
Le Boat’s large fleet has boats to accommodate varying group sizes, levels of comfort, and budgets. Their high-performance line, the Horizon Series, is for contemporary travelers who demand both luxury and performance. These vessels feature en-suite cabins, expansive sundecks with BBQ grills, air conditioning on some models, bow and stern thrusters for smooth maneuverability, and fully appointed kitchens.
The Horizon 1, ideal for couples or small families, features one expansive cabin and a convertible saloon. For bigger parties, the Horizon 4 has four cabins and bathrooms for as many as nine guests.
Amazing Destinations Around Europe and Canada
Le Boat cruises some of the globe’s most recognizable and peaceful waterway areas. One of the most sought-after destinations is France, with cruising areas such as the Canal du Midi, Burgundy, and the Loire Valley featuring spectacular vineyards, medieval castles, and quaint village markets. Wine enthusiasts can enjoy the Franco-German cultural mix of Alsace-Lorraine, which merges storybook scenery and riverbank cafés.
No Experience Needed: Training and Support Onboard
One of the greatest attractions of a Le Boat holiday is that there is no need for a boating license or experience. All guests are given a complete briefing and hands-on demonstration prior to setting off. Boats are simple to handle, and help is on hand at all times during the journey through a network of local bases.
This policy brings Le Boat within reach of families, retired people, couples, and even groups of friends going on their inaugural boat trip. The boats are equipped for ease and security, meaning even novice captains can drive smoothly and confidently.
The Freedom of Customised Travel
With Le Boat, each trip is customized. Guests have the choice of how far they travel each day, where they moor, and what they visit. Fancy a leisurely afternoon beside a vineyard? Moor on the canal and take a walk. Hungry for gourmet delights?
Moor in a nearby village for freshly baked bread, cheeses, and wine, or eat at one of the waterside restaurants.
Other Services for a Stress-Free Vacation
To enhance the experience further, Le Boat provides add-ons like bike hire, shopping packs, and collision damage waivers for extra peace of mind. Bikes enable customers to discover nearby villages and countryside while tied up, providing further depth of adventure to the holiday.
Pet owners will also be delighted to hear that most Le Boat cruises welcome pets, meaning you don’t have to abandon your furry companion. The brand does everything possible to make the boating vacation enjoyable for all members of the family—both human and otherwise.
Why Le Boat Stands Out
Le Boat is unique in the holiday industry with its blend of luxury, freedom, and adventure. The boats are modern, secure, and straightforward to use, the destinations varied and authentic, and the support throughout from beginning to end is first-class.
With thousands of happy customers and a history of excellence, Le Boat is the name to be known for self-drive boating holidays.
