Get ready for an exciting new season of boating vacations! Le Boat, the leader in license-free, self-guided boating holidays across Europe and North America, is bringing fresh experiences for 2025. Now, travelers can enjoy a leisurely journey through scenic waterways, exploring at their own pace with comfort and style.
What’s New in 2025
With more people embracing slower, experience-rich vacations, Le Boat has an interesting line up for 2025, offering luxurious journeys for unforgettable vacations, all at your own pace.
•Introducing the Liberty Class
Le Boat has officially introduced the Liberty Class to their luxury fleet. Developed in collaboration with Bénéteau/Delphia and inspired by their popular Horizon models, the Liberty Class has an elevated vacation experience if you’re looking to unwind and discover Europe’s hidden gems in comfort. After all, who doesn’t appreciate a touch of luxury while on holiday?
•Thoughtful Additions for a Better Journey
To amplify our travelers’ experience, we’re introducing thoughtful initiatives that support responsible travel, adding an extra layer of comfort and peace of mind during their journey:
•HVO Fuel: To help reduce our environmental footprint, Le Boat is introducing Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel on select routes, achieving up to 90% fewer emissions compared to traditional fuel. Already available in parts of France and Holland, we plan to extend its reach in 2025.
•Cleaner Waterways with Voies Navigables de France: In partnership with Voies Navigables de France (VNF), we’re improving water quality along the Canal des Deux Mers. A new network of eco-friendly unloading stations will be operational by 2025, helping maintain these waterways for responsible exploration.
New Experiences Along the Way
•Skipper for a Day on the Canal du Midi: For new boaters or those wanting extra support, our skipper-for-a-day service provides guidance through locks and helps travelers feel at ease from day one.
•New Mooring Points in Narbonne and Angoulême: Perfectly situated along the Canal du Midi and the Charente, our new mooring points in these beautiful towns allow guests to experience more of France’s vibrant riverside culture, flavors, and charm.
