Canal boat vacations aboard our Classique Star boat rent are second to none! The boat sleeps a maximum of ten, and the two rear private cabins with en-suite baths provide hotel-style living space. Tasteful décor and abundant light from the big picture windows make the boat’s interior warm and inviting.
The Classique Star's saloon is situated in the center of the boat, making it a natural gathering place for dining and entertaining.
The sound system consists of a radio/CD player with MP3/USB connectivity.
The large table and love seat in the saloon convert to a very comfortable double bed.
Two other features of the saloon are the inside steering station with good visibility and easy access to the side decks.
The kitchen/galley is spacious, allowing for ease in preparing gourmet meals. The stove, sink, and electric refrigerator provide all the conveniences of home.
The two rear cabins are fitted with two single beds that convert to double beds. En-suite bathrooms with shower, new electric-flush toilet, and sink add a touch of luxury and class to these private staterooms.
Forward is a private cabin in the bow with a double bed and adequate storage. Two crossover single bunk beds are in a cabin directly aft of the double. The bunks are wonderful for children.
The third bathroom is located across from the two forward cabins and has a shower, new electric-flush toilet, and sink.
Boat cruises in Europe wouldn't be complete without vacation boat rentals featuring big sundecks! Aboard the Classique Star, you'll find plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors.
The second steering position offers superb visibility for the skipper.
A safe is aboard for your convenience and security.
The onboard electrical system runs on 12-volt DC power and 220-volt shore power.
The Classique Star is equipped with an efficient and reliable diesel engine.

We struggled with the technical aspects of starting the boat for the first 2 days and had to call various support lines and wasted lots of hours and money on those calls. I would say the initial demonstration should be more thorough for new starters. We did really enjoy the holiday at the end - the boat was functional, the staff on all Le Boat mooring stations were superb and we would definitely do this again. Functional boat, do not bother purchasing internet, it does not work!

The booking and checkin process were very good. The checkout process was not so good. Why? Because there was only one person doing this and, at a peak time for checkout (0900 on Saturdays) this was not helpful particularly when the people in front of you in the queue where faffing about eg they had not taken the engine hours reading and this led to a delay whilst the (sole) checkout girl had to go back to the boat to obtain this. See above answer for my comments.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming upon arrival, and made us feel at ease at the start of our holiday, and were again very pleasant when we returned. The Classique Star was an excellent choice for us, having plenty of space both inside and out. Although a little battle scarred from previous outings, 95% of the equipment worked OK (one wiper inop, lack of cooking utensils & inability to control the shower heat properly were our only real issues). We also noticed that there was no water hose supplied, which meant we had to do a u-turn to get the tap on the right side of the boat. Hmmm, does this mean you have to run the engine (@ 15p per minute) for longer?

Jamie in Sydney has been very helpful during the process and all the staff in France were also good. Not a good experience at Trebes when reporting a faulty toilet but this has been mentioned in Castelnaudry. We all had a fun holiday and would hire another boat from Le Boat in the future. Comfortable boat for 7 people. Fridge could have been bigger, or some form of icebox provided.

Generally good, a few pluses and a few minuses. Took way over an hour to check (due to queue jumping and over-demanding customer in front, which could have been managed better) in which got us stressed about getting to first stop in time. Freezer box door absent and only after much cajoling did they take one from another boat; but they did. Diesel cost quite a bit more per hour than we thought - may or may not have been our fault in not picking up. Was that scratch on the car before we left it in their garage - don't know. Sorry - don't know what the question is . Purchases? Holiday?

From the ease of booking, through making changes to teh booking and then collection and dropping off the boat, everything went very smoothly and all staffer helpful. informative and friendly. The Le Boat experience could be summed up as just very easy going. The boat itself was as described, comfortable with al the amenities required. Would we go again? Yes is the easy answer.
One slight gripe was that the trip we went on was a one-way trip, so why put on an extra charge for one-way? surely incorporate this into the start price, it's not as if going only one-way is an option on a one-way trip. It just leaves a little sour taste. Exactly as described. Comfortable, plenty of room and all amenities required.
