Calypso's key features

  • 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.

The lady where we picked up the boat and dropped it off, was very helpful. When we had trouble with the motor the one day the technician was there first thing in the morning to fix the problem. No complaints. We really appreciated the fans in the rooms as it was very hot. The fridge was a nice size. Would be nice to have some kind of fridge/cooler box on the top deck.

Detailed information on how many lochs and town facilities on the canals was very hard to get and made planning for a family difficult. Good info once on boat but would have been better to have that level of detail earlier. Boat would have been easier to steer if there was a notch or bump when rudder was straight Not the coolest looking boat but practical and roomy. Bow thruster very helpful. Liked having the bow deck.

Laurie was great in the reservation office. She knew of our reservation, happily answered our questions, and came up solutions when the canal we planned to travel was damaged due to a 50 year. flood. They even gave us a larger boat to travel the Loire Valley. Great size boat! It was spacious for the 4 of us. It was easy to maneuver. The showers were warm. It was very comfortable. It was a memorable trip. We loved having the bikes on back to pop off & go for a ride on the bike path. Cruising through the small villages was relaxing & charming. We are so glad we did the one way. It keeps it interesting. The people manning the locks are great! We would highly recommend it!

Agents were responsive and accommodating when we picked up the boat and on the return. We had a problem with the Wifi and a leaking water pump. LeBoat sent out a technician to the boat and fixed the problems. great scenery and good time of year to go. Wait times at the locks were rare. Restaurants along the way were excellent. Provisioning as we went along worked fine.

Service at both Castelnaudry and Port Cassaferies was outstanding we were well looked after. The Boat Calypso was good to handle from the perspective of an experienced boat person. Boat was well equiped for cooking and roomy for 2 couples as the 3rd bedroom was for our luggage. Our own bathrooms was a good point. We used the sun deck mostly as we travelled and with cushions very comfortable. The boat was also very easy to move around in. However we felt we needed the 14days, not the 10 that we had to be able to explore more villages and the environs Our axperiences captain found to interesting to start with but having thrusters was invaluable. As the trip progresses it became easier

When the water pump failed on a Sunday afternoon, an engineer attended within an hour of the call, despite the distance from the base. There was no disruption of our holiday. Boat well kitted out and comfortable. Induction handover was just right. The Lot was a great place for a river adventure.. Excellent boat. Now-thruster was essential!

Friendly and welcoming but bathrooms at base were not very clean Very comfortable for four people but I think 8 would be too crowded
