Le Boat has the world’s largest fleet of self-drive boats, and the widest choice of destinations to choose from, now including Canada’s famous Rideau Canal.

Celebrating their 50th year of operation in 2019, Le Boat offers an extensive wealth of knowledge and experience to ensure that even novice navigators will simply have the best relaxing vacation imaginable. Le Boat operates in France, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, England, Scotland, Ireland and Canada. No boating licence or previous experience is required, as a base team will teach you everything you need to know before you set off – it’s like driving a car, only easier!

Here’s a little sample of what you can expect, Ireland’s beautiful River Shannon, River Erne and surrounding loughs: 

And pricing is likely a lot less than you might expect. A one-week September Irish adventure for eight passengers on River Shannon, from Carrick-on-Shannon to Portumna, ranges from about $4,250 CDN onboard a 3-star (★★★) vessel to roughly $5,400 CDN for a 4-star (★★★★) vessel, including a damage waiver. That works out to less than $700 CDN per passenger, even at the top end.
