Think you need a boating licence to captain a Le Boat? Think again! 🚤✨

No boating experience or licence is required to enjoy a Le Boat vacation.

Before you set off, our expert base technicians will provide a full hands-on orientation, walking you through everything you need to know about your boat. You'll learn how to steer, moor, navigate locks, and operate onboard systems.

Then comes the best part — a test drive! Our team will take you out on the water and make sure you're comfortable handling the boat before you begin your adventure.

By the time you leave the base, you'll have the confidence to cruise at your own pace and start making unforgettable memories on the water.

This destination Friday we are featuring the River Thames

Discover England from a different perspective as you cruise along the iconic River Thames with Le Boat.

Whether you're watching swans glide by, strolling through quaint villages, or relaxing on deck with family and friends, every day brings a new adventure.

No fixed schedules. No crowds. Just the freedom to explore at your own pace.

The UK looks different from the river. ☀️

Days spent cruising the River Thames, stopping at riverside pubs, walking through little villages, spotting cows along the riverbanks and finding quiet spots you’d never normally see from the road.

No rushing. No big plans. Just good weather, good company and a slower way to spend summer together, whatever your age.

Some of the best moments on a Le Boat vacation happen around the table—sharing meals, stories, and laughter with friends as the water drifts by.

Whether it's breakfast on deck, a leisurely lunch by a lockstation, or dinner under a stunning sunset, every meal feels a little more special on board.
