Le Boat is extending an invitation to travelers, urging them to take command of their own vessels in 2024. The company is unveiling a range of updates and booking incentives, encouraging adventure enthusiasts and travel aficionados to explore the world unconventionally, inviting everyone to embark on a boating adventure together in 2024.

Simplified Boating Experience
Le Boat is dedicated to simplifying the boating experience, eliminating the need for a boat license or prior boating expertise. The Le Boat team provides comprehensive onboard training during check-in for all cruisers before they set sail. A dedicated base team delivers detailed briefings and demonstrations, ensuring guests can confidently navigate their houseboat vacations. Tailored for first-time cruisers, Le Boat cruises feature user-friendly controls and bow and stern thrusters, making boat maneuvering easy for anyone capable of driving a car.

With a multitude of destinations spanning nine countries—Canada, France, Italy, Scotland, Ireland, England, Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany—Le Boat offers a diverse array of choices for travelers.

New Canadian Destinations and Bases
In the upcoming season, Le Boat introduces the picturesque and historic Trent-Severn Waterway in Ontario, Canada, to its list of destinations.
