Air cooling and air conditioning

When the temperatures soar, our cabin air cooling system can help make your night’s sleep a little more comfortable. Air cooling uses canal/river water to produce cool air which is blown out through vents.

 

Please note: This is not the same as air-conditioning which can achieve lower temperatures and has a thermostatic control. Performance significantly reduces if canal/river temperature is too high.

The only service we needed was at the start of our journey. Very helpful, and informative. The only thing I think I wish I had understood before we left is that you can't really understand everything until you do it! That's when all of the information makes sense. We had a wonderful time. Food can definitely be an issue, so stock up when the town is close to your mooring. We were stuck 2 nights when on of the locks was in repair, and it was good that we had plenty of food. Everyone was so great as we traveled. Obviously boaters have a good reputation with the eclusieres.

Great service in Smith Falls. No physical office site at this time in Ottawa. Very comfortable boat. Thrusters make it easy to handle.

The entire team at Le Boat was helpful and kind. I thought their dedication to safety and customer comfort was excellent. We were given ample time to acclimatize to the boat with excellent instructions by Dave. He was patient and helpful, anticipating all our questions and covering all safety features and procedures clearly. We took our time and travelled from Smiths Falls southbound, reaching Jones Falls and returning in one week. We could have driven further but there is so much to savor along the way. Don't rush, just enjoy the journey!

We found Le Boat on the Internet and took the plunge by calling Marcus who is based in France and this was able to guide us to what best suited our needs and expectations. We decided upon a 10 day cruise and pick the boat up in Trebes before returning it in Port Cassfieres. The route was marvellous as was the food and plonk along the way but perhaps it’s equally important the horizon three that we had hired was spotless inside and extremely comfortable for four people but could have easily catered for six. We pick the boat up right at the very end of the season and outwardly it appeared somewhat tired however inside and mechanically everything was perfect including the initial handover and return. We would certainly recommend Le Boat and we would use them again.
