Excellent standards of customer service, cleanliness and support come with all boats – whatever the rating!
Luxury boats
Indulge in the height of comfort with our Luxury fleet, designed for those who want more from their canal boat hire. These private, luxury boats feature premium fittings, cutting-edge navigation tech, and a refined finish throughout. With hotel-style amenities and expansive interiors, each journey delivers a first-class escape on the water.
Premier boats
Our Horizon fleet offers a standout boat hire experience with spacious layouts and added extras. Each boat comes with a generous top deck, a built-in BBQ hotplate, and a cool box, ideal for al fresco dining while cruising the Canal du Midi! Panoramic windows flood the living areas with natural light, while advanced bow and stern thrusters simplify mooring and handling, even for beginners.
Comfort Plus & Comfort boats
Good-quality, stylish and well-equipped boats of varying ages, designs and styles. All Comfort and Comfort Plus boats come standard with electric-flush toilets and the ability to hook up to a shore power supply. Comfort Plus is awarded to the newer of these boats, which are generally newer and roomier, featuring enhancements like BBQ hotplates and deck seat cushions for a more relaxed boat trip.
Budget boats
Our Budget fleet delivers excellent value for travellers seeking a classic canal boat hire experience. These well-maintained older boats offer all essential amenities, including bedding and towels, in a more traditional style. While simpler in design, they provide a comfortable and reliable way to hire a boat without compromising on the adventure
