The service was impeccable at all times, thank you. The staff are efficient, friendly and very helpful. They also have a good knowledge of the route and the boats. Salsa A is an extremely comfortable barge. It is well-appointed, clean and has plenty of space. We were 6 people (3 couples), for a week. Bedrooms 3 & 4 are quite cramped so the extra room was handy. The kitchen area is easy to use and has everything you need, plus 2 fridges which was great. The living space has ample room, as well as upstairs on the deck. We were briefed before we set off by a knowledgable and friendly member of the team and everything went smoothly. It's the second time we have used Le Boat and will do so again. A very memorable and outstanding trip, thank you.

Everything was great from start to finish. Beauty at every turn of the head. I did not enjoy all the locks...but they are the things that make boat travel possible...so. Cabins great, kitchen and living area and upper deck just great. This was my best vacation in 66 years

The boat was exceptionally clean inside and out when we collected it at Dinan. The gentleman from Le Boat who greeted us was a great help getting our luggage on board. We contacted Le Boat once during our sail to ask how to contact a lock-keeper. The response was quite abrupt, but we did get the answer. Everything about the boat worked well, including the Wifi. We feel we should have had the £100 repeat customer discount which we have had before, but were told by the UK office that we couldn't have it as we already had a good deal? We also tried to book WiFi through the UK office but were told it wasn't available from Dinan. So we emailed the local French office who supplied the WiFi gadget on our arrival-thankyou. The Le Boat team at Messac were jolly and made disembarking as painless as possible. We hope to return to Messac next year. Boat was great, Brittany lock-keepers were all excellent.

Service was excellent throughout the process...during booking, at the departure base and at the arrival base. Although it's not the newest model, the Salsa is my favorite. I especially like the open layout with the galley and main saloon. Plus I like the double doors the open from the main saloon and the bow seat. The top deckis also very spacious and comfortable for large groups.

Our welcome at Messac was great, The team were friendly and very helpful, they told us where to find a great supermarket and Paul demonstrated the boat beautifully even took us through our first lock ! The manual was extremely helpful with the route which included everything of interest along the way. We would definitely book with Le Boat again in a different location in France.
