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.
Very well organised. A friendly reception. Found Joss very helpful. Very good service and seamless check in and check out.

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!

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.

Base and boat as expected. Your Netherlands App was not running. No cruising guide in English available. Hostess lacking in knowledge of the towns we would dock for the night. Your bases are usually located at a distance from airports. Bikes were good and in proper condition, thire inflation, locks etc.

Service received was great - on day of check in our boat unfortunately was not available due to an issue further up river - however we were looked after very well by base staff and gave us a higher category boat so we could get on our way. The instruction was good and we liked being taken through the first lock by the team so we could see how to handle the next ones a long the way. Boat was great - very large and great fun to handle plus it had all the amenities you could ask for onboard !
