Fleet Classification

We own, operate and maintain the largest fleet of inland waterways cruisers !

With over 900 boats and some 40 different models to choose from, you can be sure of finding the perfect boat to suit your party size, needs and budget.

All our boats are comfortable, stylish, well-equipped and above all, safe!

Quality & High Standards : A huge Investment

LeBoat-Vision-Saloon

Each year, we invest significantly in our fleet to keep our boats at the highest standards and always meet our customers' expectations.

In 2012, Le Boat will invest in more than 230 boats :

  • A Large Refurbishment Program : 145 of our most popular boat models complitely refurbished (exterior & interior).

Boats' Capacity : Comfortably sleeps & saloon

LeBoat-Layout-White

All our boats are classified according to how many people they comfortably sleep : 2+, 4+, 6+ & 8+.

If a boat is listed as 6+2, it means that it sleeps six people comfortably in cabins, with the option to sleep two further people on a convertible bed/settee in the saloon area.

Most of our boats have adaptable bed layouts. The colour coded beds in the boats plans indicates the type of bed (double, single, convert to double).

 

Boats' Confort : Anchor rating

Our anchor grading system helps you to match a boat to your budget and expectations in terms of overall age, style and comfort. The more anchors a boat has, the more it has to offer!

You'll also be assured excellent standards of customer service, support and cleanliness – whatever the anchor rating.

Support : Boat handling demo & assistance

LeBoat-DemoBefore you go, you’ll be taken out onto the water for a hands-on cruising demonstration by one of our base team. You will learn:

  • how to manoeuvre your boat for mooring in marinas or at the side of the quay
  • how to drive your boat safely and responsibly
  • where possible, how to go through a lock.

We won't let you go until  you feel con?dent !
We have been helping people discover the pleasures of inland waterway cruising for more than 40 years and our teams are all very experienced and knowledgeable.

Plus, our extensive network of bases means you are never very far from our teams of mechanics. They will assist you with any problems or dif?culties while you are cruising.

And don’t forget, a boat needs a skipper and a crew – so teamwork is very important!
