About Vision 3 SL

Designed just for Le Boat, this luxury diesel tops its class in river boats. You’ll love the huge upper sundeck, luxurious saloon and gorgeous private cabins! Special pod drives make the boat as easy to manoeuvre as a car. The three staterooms have full-size twin beds that convert to doubles, plus there’s a fold-down bed (suitable only for a child or teenager) and an extra bed in the saloon, making the boat ideal for families and friends! New to the Vision SL, stairs allow direct access to the bridge from the galley, making moving around that much easier.

LeBoat staff were very helpful with all questions before we arrived and also with organising a taxi to get from the train station to the Homps base. The staff member who showed us the boat was great and made sure we knew everything we were supposed to do. Boat is easy to maneuver. Spacious accommodation with all amenities including air-con.

Our questions were quickly answered the invoice system is clearly set out. The Vision 5 with x3 cabins was perfect for our group. The fold down bunk in each room gave us luggage storage. Plus the ensuite was well laid out and gave you space to move. Plenty of cupboards and shelves for a couple. The galley was well equipped and the rooftop space and steering was excellent.

The orientation was too short for us to be comfortable maneuvering the boat. It took a long time to learn the use of the "Joy Stick and Bow Thruster." We do feel the model of boat was too large for easy navigation of the canal. Support services were excellent. Response time when we had problems was very quick and service personnel very efficient and helpful. All staff were very congenial as well. Overall, the trip was a wonderful time with good friends and lovely views of rural France. We would recommend your services to others.

I would rate your service Excellent. The person at check in at the Trebes base was absolutely wonderful. Easy, clear, friendly. The boat was great. Having 3 equal staterooms was important. Joy stick made driving simple.
