Le Boat is also offering travelers who book their boating vacation before August 31 a discount of up to 15% on select boat models. “Early birds” also have the widest choice of boat models in any of Le Boat's destinations.

As no boating experience or license is required for a self-skippered boating vacation, they have been rapidly growing in popularity. And Le Boat has kept pace with the demand by offering the largest and most modern fleet of “floating hotels” available for self-skippered cruising. The boats range from small sleek craft that sleep three persons to spacious, luxurious boats accommodating up to 12 passengers. And unlike conventional river and other inland waterway cruises, passengers have their boat all to themselves, and can design their own itinerary to match their interests and the pace that they want to travel.
