Le Boat is revolutionizing the way people travel in Europe and Canada by providing self-drive boating holidays that are as relaxing as they are scenic and adventurous. With more than 50 years of experience in canal cruising, Le Boat offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be your own boat captain—no license or experience necessary.
Whether you’d prefer to wander through France’s lavender-lined canals or cruise Ontario’s peaceful lakes, Le Boat guarantees freedom, flexibility, and discovery like never before.
Self-Drive Boating: No Experience Necessary
One of the best things about Le Boat is that absolutely no boating experience is necessary. Their boats are simple to handle, with clear guidance and full handover prior to your departure.
Guests get all the instruction they require to safely drive, dock, and handle the boat. These boats have everything a guest would want for a stay of comfort—i.e., your floating lodging includes a completely fitted kitchen, bedrooms, showers, and cozy lounging areas.
This innovative holiday idea makes Le Boat the perfect destination for families, groups of friends, and even couples looking for something off the beaten track and in private. It’s an adventure and a chill-out at the same time, where you can cruise on your own terms and take in the serenity around you.
Le Boat Destinations: Europe and Beyond
Le Boat provides a stunning array of European and Canadian destinations. In France, the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a favorite cruising area for its tree-lined canals and picturesque villages. Burgundy is also a favorite, renowned for wine, history, and cuisine.
For nature-lovers and cultural explorers looking for a sojourn into nature and indigenous heritage, the Rideau Canal in Canada promises a stunning pathway of serene lakes, heritage villages, and national parks.
Among other thrilling itineraries are Ireland’s Shannon River, Italy’s Venetian Lagoon, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, England, and Scotland. Every location has its special flavor, be it châteaux and wine estates or windmills and medieval castles—all from your boat.
The Fleet: Comfort, Style, and Innovation
Le Boat’s fleet caters to the traveler, with a range of boat models to suit different group sizes and tastes. The Horizon Series is perhaps the most popular, and it comes in sizes that sleep 2 to 12. The Horizon Series has a modern design, generous sun decks, and spacious cabins with en-suite bathrooms.
The Horizon 1, say, is suitable for couples or small families, one large forward cabin and convertible saloon. Extended family or group holidays could be catered to by the Horizon 5, which has five cabins, each with their own bathroom.
Chart Your Own Course with Le Boat
Le Boat unlocks a world of possibility for those who wish to discover stunning areas from the comfort of their own private floating home. With an up-to-date fleet, specially selected holidays, and an intuitive style of boating, the brand creates holidays for life and makes taking your own helm very accessible to everybody.
Perhaps your fantasy lies with vineyards in France, or lochs in Scotland, or lakes in Canada, whichever they may be, Le Boat would love for you to be the driver in experiencing holidays just your way. It’s a break not from reality, but by your terms.
