Tips for choosing your ideal boating holiday
Have you been dreaming of a boating holiday for some time now? After reading many customer testimonials and dreaming in front of our cruise pictures on Facebook, you have now decided to book your river holiday with Le Boat!
While many clients call us and suggest that we offer them a boat, no one really knows your needs better than you! That's why we strongly recommend that you ask for your free brochure so that you can make an informed decision!
In this article we have put together some useful tips for hiring your ideal boat model for your boating holiday!
How many people do you travel with?
Large groups of more than 5 people
Our boats can accommodate up to 12 people on one boat. These larger boats are only available in Premier and Comfort models, and we recommend that crews of more than 5 people choose a Comfort, Comfort Plus or Premier boat.
Bear in mind that you will probably be living on this boat for a week: space, boat design and comfort will be key factors in your experience!
If you are travelling with your family, here are our Family Friendly Boating Holidays!
We recommend :
- The Horizon 5: a spacious and comfortable boat and part of our top of the range fleet!
Perfect for your summer holiday!
Couple's cruise
Boat holidays can also be a fantastic idea for a romantic getaway. Enjoying the sunsets on the deck in summer is just one of the most beautiful moments you can spend together on a boat... If it's just the two of you, we recommend choosing a boat with only one cabin.
Before making a decision, two travelling couples should consider the cabin configuration. Not all cabins are the same size and be sure to check if there is at least one bathroom per room... Remember, this is supposed to be a romantic getaway!

- The Clipper: for two couples
Boat with children
A boating holiday with children along the waterways is a wonderful experience. The boats are comfortable and safe.
They are perfect for all types of families, even with babies!
We recommend :
- The Caprice: The Caprice is available on most destinations in Europe and is comfortable for a family of 4.
Cabins and beds
In the boat configurations, you will notice that there is usually only one double bed. On request, we can put beds together to make a double bed.
An extra bed can also be made in the lounge for one person.
Premium or Standard category?
The style of boat you choose will depend on your personal preferences and your budget. Your budget will also be largely dependent on the boat decision and availability during the season and destination.
If you are looking for a particular boat, we recommend that you book as soon as possible!
Kitchen and equipment
Depending on the range of the boat, some equipment will be included or not: one or two fridges, a large or smaller oven, a built-in grill on the upper deck which can allow you to prepare dinner while having an aperitif with the rest of the crew!
The success of your boating holiday depends on the right choice of boat: a boat that suits you and your expectations!
