No driver’s license? No previous experience? No problem!

Le Boat’s comfortable, floating vacation apartments are easy to navigate, making them ideal even for beginners. At the starting port, you’ll receive thorough instructions on the boat’s technology, navigation, and maneuvering, ensuring you’re ready to set sail with confidence.

From there, let your heart guide you – to a serene shore, a lively city promenade, or one of the many inviting marinas. On land, countless adventures await, from sightseeing and cultural explorations to bike tours through picturesque landscapes.

Evenings are a highlight of any Le Boat experience. Enjoy preparing meals together on board with fresh, local ingredients, play games with your loved ones, or simply relax on deck with a good bottle of wine as the sun sets.

No need for tedious suitcase packing or sacrificing comfort – Le Boat vessels, whether standard or luxury, provide spacious salons, private sleeping cabins, modern bathrooms with hot and cold running water, and fully equipped kitchens to ensure a home-like experience on the water.

The right thing for everyone

With a fleet of over 900 houseboats for two to twelve people, Le Boat offers the largest selection on the most beautiful waterways in Europe (and Canada). With a maximum speed of twelve kilometers per hour, you’ll experience a decelerating journey.

Le Boat provides detailed route plans with daily stages, locks, sights, and restaurant tips, allowing you to plan your tour according to your wishes. For sports enthusiasts, bicycles and water sports equipment such as SUPs or canoes are available for hire. The riverside paths along the canals are ideal for bike tours or walks with your dog, who can also accompany you on the boat.

In addition to weekly rentals, there are also short trips starting from three days – perfect for a long weekend or a first houseboat test.

Fantastic houseboat destinations: From cities to natural paradises

How about a city trip with a twist? In cities like Strasbourg, Amsterdam, or Ghent, you can moor right in front of iconic sights and savor local specialties on deck while enjoying stunning views.

For those drawn to magical landscapes, a journey through Scotland or Ireland might be just the thing. Experience whisky tastings, visit traditional breweries, or enjoy an outdoor barbecue surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Burgundy also offers a chance to unwind with first-class wines and gourmet cuisine set against picturesque surroundings.

If summer fun on the water is what you’re after, the Mecklenburg Lake District is the perfect choice. Swim, paddle, or anchor romantically on a serene lake – an ideal destination for groups of friends or couples.

For the adventurous spirit, discover Ontario, Canada, where nature and city life blend seamlessly. With Le Boat, you can even dock in Ottawa and explore the city directly from the water.
