Houseboat rentals – Canal boat vacations by Le Boat

A driving license is not required for your boating vacation on nearly all our destinations/cruises. After your instruction lesson you will be given a temporary permit for the duration of your vacation. In Germany, a permit is required in some areas. Check the cruise details or contact us for more information.

In some of our cruising areas it is possible simply find an empty space along the bank and to moor in nature thanks to the ropes and spikes provided on-board.

If you are after a little more comfort though, you can also moor in marinas or at Le Boat bases. Berthing fees, which often include services like electricity & water vary from location to location (for more details call our boating experts or refer to your on-board documentation). However, if you stop at a LeBoat base along the way then there is no charge!

es of course you can, dogs are welcome on all our boats. There will be an additional supplement per dog for cleaning. We recommend that you don’t take any more than two dogs per boat.

If you have a small dog that you can carry, then access to any of our boats with your dog shouldn’t be a problem. Unless of course you have limited mobility yourself, in which case you may wish to avoid our boats that have ‘ladder-style steps, such as the Caprice and Sheba. For those with bigger dogs, you may wish to choose a boat that is easy for them to jump on and off of and you might prefer to have the saloon and cabin on the same level, without any stairs. In this case, we recommend Salsa, Tango, Calypso and all boats of the Vision fleet. We suggest you check out our boat pages, examine the images and virtual tours where available, and our sales team are on hand to advise as well.

You can own your own boat thanks to our Boat Ownership program. You’ll receive a guaranteed monthly income, many weeks of boating holidays at any of our destinations, and much more! We take care of the mooring and maintenance, so you can focus on what you truly love. Join our community of 150 owners and experience the joy of boat ownership with ease!
