Calypso boat rentals were designed specifically for lovers of traditional river cruising. At 13.25-metres (43 feet), the boat is roomy and luxurious. Check it out!
Jump aboard and take a look around with our virtual tour...
The boat's saloon is situated forward of the three sleeping cabins, giving it a fabulous location for viewing the surrounding countryside through expansive picture windows.
A door forward leads past the inside steering station onto a lovely lounging deck in the bow.
The boat has a sound system with a radio/CD player with MP3/USB connectivity.
Relaxing and dining on gourmet fare around the large L-shaped love seat and table is a delight.
Three separate lounging chairs across from the table provide extra seating options. The large love seat converts to one double bed.
The spacious kitchen/galley has a stove, sink, and a large electric refrigerator. There's plenty of storage and counter space.
The boat's two rear cabins are adjacent to each other and have two single beds that convert to one double bed. Each has an en-suite bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet.
One central cabin has two single beds that convert to one double bed.
All beds are extra-long for added comfort.
Cabin fans throughout provide cooling breezes in warmer weather.
From the saloon you have direct access to the upper sundeck and second steering position. Dine alfresco at the large outdoor table with molded love seats.
The front lounging deck with direct access to the saloon is a great feature.
Swimmers will love the full-width bathing platform at the rear of the boat with integral steps that make it easy to get on and off the boat at the dock.
A safe is aboard for your convenience and security.
Bow thrusters are a major attraction of this boat!

Staff were always helpful during phone calls and able to arrange extras very quickly by phone. Staff at Bensons were also incredibly friendly.
My only comment would be that there were a lot of added extras (damage waiver, fuel charge etc) that I hadn't spotted in advance - would be good if these were all clear during the search at the beginning. The boat was great - good size, layout and cleanliness.

Service was great right from the booking process over the phone to collection of the boat in Tannay. The boat handover was excellent, and the boat itself was very good too. A spacious and comfortable boat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip on the Charente.
The boat was in good condition and the instructions were good. Excellent boat, we hired one the same when we did a trip on the Lot river and were so happy we got the same again.
Bow thrusters were a big help.
We had 2 couples and used the third room for our luggage.

When I started inquiring about a Le Boat vacation in France, Amanda was very helpful in answering all my questions. There was a little hiccup with my reservation and she took care of it immediately in a very professional way. The staff at our pick up point in Decize were also very welcoming. The boat was even nicer than we expected! Overall we had a fantastic time and will definitely be doing this again. I thoroughly recommend Le Boat based on our experience.
